+This is cyber, a package for LaTeX which is used to make documents
+with annotations of compliance with cybersecurity requirements. It is
+based on the iadoc package, found at <https://github.com/afseo/cmits>.
+
+For example, United States Department of Defense Instruction 8500.2
+<http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/850002p.pdf> contains about 150
+requirements ("IA controls") which apply to automated information systems like
+servers and networks. Those inside the Department who want to set up a new
+system must write documents showing how the system complies with the
+requirements, so that administrators will know how to configure it, and
+auditors can satisfy themselves that it complies with the requirements.
+
+One such requirement, DCSS-1, states that "system initialization, shutdown, and
+aborts" must be "configured to ensure that the system remains in a secure
+state." With cyber, you can tag the part of your document that talks about
+DCSS-1 with \implements{iacontrol}{DCSS-1}, and you will get a margin note and
+an index entry. iadoc is geared toward helping notate compliance with hundreds
+of requirements that are written across several discrete documents.
+
+cyber also helps you format your document in a form suitable inside
+the U.S. Department of Defense, by attaching distribution statements,
+destruction notices, organization logos, and security labels to it.
+
+cyber is released under the MIT license; see the file named LICENSE.
