+
+				Scyther
+
+	       a verification tool for security protocols
+			     by Cas Cremers
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Note: This is a 1.0beta release, and therefore the usual warnings apply.
+
+
+
+1. More information
+========================================================================
+
+For more information, see:
+
+  http://www.win.tue.nl/~ccremers/scyther
+
+
+2. Starting out
+========================================================================
+
+To start, run the scyther executable (scyther/scyther) with the --help
+switch, or try
+
+  $ scyther/scyther demo/ns3.spdl
+
+For graphical output, you need:
+
+- a pdf viewer (xpdf is assumed)
+- the GraphViz package (for the 'dot' executable).
+
+Add the paths 'scyther/' and 'demo/' to your path environment variable
+(something like 'export PATH=$PATH:$PWD/demo'), and try
+
+  $ scytherview demo/nsl3.spdl
+
+
+3. Citing Scyther
+===========================
+
+For now, there is no official journal paper to cite yet, but you can use
+the following information:
+
+@misc{wwwscyther,
+  Author = "C.J.F. Cremers",
+  Title  = "Scyther security protocol verification tool: documentation",
+  Note   = "\url{http://www.win.tue.nl/~ccremers/scyther}",
+  url    = "http://www.win.tue.nl/~ccremers/scyther"
+}
