+OpenSSL
+=======
+
+These are `CFFI`_ bindings to the `OpenSSL`_ C library.
+
+.. data:: cryptography.bindings.openssl.api
+
+    This is the exposed API for the OpenSSL bindings. It has two public
+    attributes:
+
+    .. attribute:: ffi
+
+        This is a :class:`cffi.FFI` instance. It can be used to allocate and
+        otherwise manipulate OpenSSL structures.
+
+    .. attribute:: lib
+
+        This is a ``cffi`` library. It can be used to call OpenSSL functions,
+        and access constants.

+.. _`CFFI`: http://cffi.readthedocs.org/
