+====================
+Shield Recipe Client
+====================
+
+Normandy (aka the Shield Recipe Client) is a targeted change control
+system, allowing small changes to be made within a release of Firefox,
+such as studies.
+
+It downloads recipes and actions from :ref:`Remote Settings <services/remotesettings>`
+and then executes them.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Previously, the recipes were fetched from the `recipe server`_, but in `Bug 1513854`_
+ the source was changed to *Remote Settings*. The cryptographic signatures are verified
+ at the *Remote Settings* level (integrity) and at the *Normandy* level
+ (authenticity of publisher).
