+Hybrid PKE
 ===============
 The Hybrid Public Key Encryption (HPKE) standard in Python.
 
-[`hpke-rs`](https://crates.io/crates/hpke-rs) :handshake: [`PyO3`](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3)
+`hybrid_pke` = [`hpke-rs`](https://github.com/franziskuskiefer/hpke-rs) :heavy_plus_sign: [`PyO3`](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3)
 
 This library provides Python bindings to the `hpke-rs` crate, which supports primitives from either [Rust Crypto](https://github.com/RustCrypto) or [EverCrypt](https://hacl-star.github.io/HaclValeEverCrypt.html).

+
+## Usage
+### Basic
+The single-shot API is intended for single message encryption/decryption. The default HPKE configuration uses the unauthenticated Base mode, an X25519 DH key encapsulation mechanism, a SHA256 key derivation mechanism, and a ChaCha20Poly1305 AEAD function.
+
+```python
+import hybrid_pke
+
+hpke = hybrid_pke.default()
+info = b""  # shared metadata, correspondance-level
+aad = b""  # shared metadata, message-level
+secret_key_r, public_key_r = hpke.generate_key_pair()  # receiver keys, pre-generated
+
+# ============== Sender ==============
+
+message = b"hello from the other side!"
+encap, ciphertext = hpke.seal(public_key_r, info, aad, message)
+
+# ============= Receiver =============
+
+plaintext = hpke.open(encap, secret_key_r, info, aad, ciphertext)
+print(plaintext.decode("utf-8"))
+# >> hello from the other side!
+```
+
+### Advanced
+
+<details><summary> Sender & Receiver Contexts </summary>
+
+The Sender Context and Receiver Context APIs allow for setting up a context for repeated encryptions and decryptions. It's recommended whenever you intend to perform several encryptions or decryptions in quick succession.
+```python
+info = b"quotes from your favorite aphorists"
+aads = [
+  b"Szasz",
+  b"Nietzsche",
+  b"Morandotti",
+  b"Brudzinski",
+  b"Hubbard",
+]
+
+# ============== Sender ==============
+
+messages = [
+    b"Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse.",
+    b"Become who you are!",
+    b"Only those who aren't hungry are able to judge the quality of a meal.",
+    b"Under certain circumstances a wanted poster is a letter of recommendation.",
+    b"Nobody ever forgets where he buried the hatchet.",
+]
+encap, sender_context = hpke.setup_sender(public_key_r, info)
+
+ciphertexts = []
+for aad, msg in zip(aads, messages):
+    ciphertext = sender_context.seal(aad, msg)
+    ciphertexts.append(ciphertext)
+
+# ============= Receiver =============
+
+receiver_context = hpke.setup_receiver(encap, secret_key_r, info)
+plaintexts = []
+for aad, ctxt in zip(aads, ciphertexts):
+    plaintext = receiver_context.open(aad, ctxt)
+    plaintexts.append(plaintext)
+
+print(f"\"{plaintexts[0].decode()}\" - {aad[0].decode()}")
+print(f"\"{plaintexts[1].decode()}\" - {aad[1].decode()}")
+# >> "Two wrongs don't make a right, but they make a good excuse." - Szasz
+# >> "Become who you are!" - Nietzsche
+```
+</details>
+
+<details><summary> Mode.AUTH: Authenticated Sender </summary>
+
+Auth mode allows for signing and verifying encryptions with a previously authenticated sender key-pair.
+```python
+hpke = hybrid_pke.default(mode=hybrid_pke.Mode.AUTH)
+secret_key_r, public_key_r = hpke.generate_key_pair()  # receiver keys
+secret_key_s, public_key_s = hpke.generate_key_pair()  # sender keys, pre-authenticated
+
+# ============== Sender ==============
+
+# sign with sender's secret key
+encap, ciphertext = hpke.seal(public_key_r, info, aad, message, sk_s=secret_key_s)
+
+# ============= Receiver =============
+
+# verify with sender's public key
+plaintext = hpke.open(encap, secret_key_r, info, aad, ciphertext, pk_s=public_key_s)
+```
+</details>
+
+<details><summary>Mode.PSK: Pre-shared Key Authentication</summary>
+
+PSK mode allows for signing and verifying encryptions with a previously shared key held by both the sender and recipient.
+```python
+hpke = hybrid_pke.default(mode=hybrid_pke.Mode.PSK)
+# pre-shared key + ID
+psk = bytes.fromhex("0247fd33b913760fa1fa51e1892d9f307fbe65eb171e8132c2af18555a738b82")
+psk_id = bytes.fromhex("456e6e796e20447572696e206172616e204d6f726961")
+
+# ============== Sender ==============
+
+# sign with pre-shared key
+encap, ciphertext = hpke.seal(public_key_r, info, aad, message, psk=psk, psk_id=psk_id)
+
+# ============= Receiver =============
+
+# verify with pre-shared key
+plaintext = hpke.open(encap, secret_key_r, info, aad, ciphertext, psk=psk, psk_id=psk_id)
+```
+</details>
+
+<details><summary>Mode.AUTH_PSK: Combining AUTH and PSK. </summary>
+
+PSK mode allows for signing and verifying encryptions with a previously shared key held by both the sender and recipient.
+```python
+hpke = hybrid_pke.default(mode=hybrid_pke.Mode.PSK)
+secret_key_r, public_key_r = hpke.generate_key_pair()  # receiver keys

 ## Installation
 Wheels for various platforms and architectures can be found on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/hybrid-pke/) or in the `wheelhouse.zip` archive from the [latest Github release](https://github.com/capeprivacy/hybrid-pke/releases).
 
 The library can also be installed from source with [`maturin`](https://github.com/PyO3/maturin) -- see below.
 
+<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>
+
 ## Development
 
 We use [`maturin`](https://github.com/PyO3/maturin) to build and distribute the PyO3 extension module as a Python wheel.
 
 For users of `cmake`, we provide a [`Makefile`](https://github.com/capeprivacy/hybrid-pke/blob/main/Makefile) that includes some helpful development commands.
 
-Other useful tips:
+<details><summary>Some useful tips</summary>
+
 - `maturin develop` builds & installs the Python package into your Python environment (`venv` or `conda` recommended)
-- `pytest .` tests the resulting Python package
+- `pytest .` tests the resulting Python package.
+- `pytest -n auto .` runs the full test suite in parallel.
 - `maturin build --release -o dist --sdist` builds the extension module in release-mode and produces a wheel for your environment's OS and architecture.
 - The `-i`/`--interpreter` flag for `maturin` can be used to swap out different Python interpreters, if you have multiple Python installations.
