 If you prefer NaCl's design, we highly recommend `PyNaCl`_.
 
+When I try to use ``cryptography`` on Windows I get a ``cffi.ffiplatform.VerificationError``
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This error looks something like:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    cffi.ffiplatform.VerificationError: importing '<some_path>.pyd': DLL load failed:
+
+It typically occurs on Windows when the user has not installed OpenSSL. Download
+a `pre-compiled binary`_ to resolve this issue.
