+# SSSD - System Security Services Daemon
+
+## Introduction
+SSSD provides a set of daemons to manage access to remote directories and
+authentication mechanisms such as LDAP, Kerberos or FreeIPA. It provides
+an NSS and PAM interface toward the system and a pluggable backend system
+to connect to multiple different account sources.
+
+More information about SSSD can be found on its project page -
+https://github.com/SSSD/sssd.
+
+## Downloading SSSD
+SSSD is shipped as a binary package by most Linux distributions. If you
+want to obtain the latest source files, please navigate to the
+[Releases folder on GitHub](https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/releases).
+
+We sign release tarballs with our [gpg key (id C13CD07FFB2DB1408E457A3CD3D21B2910CF6759)](./contrib/pubkey.asc)
+since April 2022. For convenience, the key is also uploaded to
+`keys.openpgp.org` keyserver. You can import the key using:
+
+```
+$ curl -o sssd.asc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SSSD/sssd/master/contrib/pubkey.asc
+$ gpg2 --import sssd.asc
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+$ gpg2 --keyserver keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys C13CD07FFB2DB1408E457A3CD3D21B2910CF6759
+```
+
+And verify the signature with:
+
+```
+$ version=x.y.z
+$ curl -o sssd-$version.tar.gz https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/releases/download/$version/sssd-$version.tar.gz
+$ curl -o sssd-$version.tar.gz.asc https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/releases/download/$version/sssd-$version.tar.gz.asc
+$ gpg2 --verify sssd-$version.tar.gz.asc sssd-$version.tar.gz
+```
+
+## Releases
+SSSD maintains two release streams - stable and LTM. Releases designated as
+LTM are long-term maintenance releases and will see bugfixes and security
+patches for a longer time than other releases.
