 ## Usage
 
+### [Tutorials and Examples](/examples)
+
+You can find multiple examples on the [examples folder](/examples) that will guide you through using libp2p for several scenarions.
+
 ### Extending libp2p skeleton
 
 libp2p becomes very simple and basically acts as a glue for every module that compose this library. Since it can be highly customized, it requires some setup. What we recommend is to have a libp2p build for the system you are developing taking into account in your needs (e.g. for a browser working version of libp2p that acts as the network layer of IPFS, we have a built and minified version that browsers can require).

+# Encrypted Communications
+
+libp2p can leverage the encrypted communications from the transports it uses (i.e WebRTC). To ensure that every connection is encrypted, independently of how it was set up, libp2p also supports a set of modules that encrypt every communication established.
+
+We call this usage a _connection upgrade_ where given a connection between peer A to peer B, a protocol handshake can be performed that gives that connection new properties.
+
+A byproduct of having these encrypted communications modules is that we can authenticate the peers we are dialing to. You might have noticed that every time we dial to a peer in libp2p space, we always use its PeerId at the end (e.g /ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/89765/ipfs/QmWCbVw1XZ8hiYBwwshPce2yaTDYTqTaP7GCHGpry3ykWb), this PeerId is generated by hashing the Public Key of the peer. With this, we can create a crypto challenge when dialing to another peer and prove that peer is the owner of a PrivateKey that matches the Public Key we know.
+
+# 1. Set up encrypted communications with SECIO
+
+We will build this example on top of example for [Protocol and Stream Multiplexing](../protocol-and-stream-multiplexing). You will need the module `libp2p-secio` to complete it, go ahead and `npm install libp2p-secio`.
+
+SECIO is the crypto channel developed for IPFS, it is a TLS 1.3 like crypto channel that established an encrypted communication channel between two peers.
+
+To add it to your libp2p bundle, all you have to do is:
+
+```JavaScript
+const SECIO = require('libp2p-secio')
+
+class MyBundle extends libp2p {
+  constructor (peerInfo) {
+    const modules = {
+      transport: [new TCP()],
+      connection: {
+        muxer: [SPDY],
+        // Attach secio as the crypto channel to use
+        crypto: [SECIO]
+      }
+    }
+    super(modules, peerInfo)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+And that's it, from now on, all your libp2p communications are encrypted. Try running the exampme [1.js](./1.js) to see it working.
+
+If you want to want to learn more about how SECIO works, you can read the [great write up done by Dominic Tarr](https://github.com/auditdrivencrypto/secure-channel/blob/master/prior-art.md#ipfss-secure-channel).
+
+Importante note: SECIO hasn't been audited and so, we do not recommend to trust its security. We intent to move to TLS 1.3 once the specification is finalized and an implementation exists that we can use.
