+library with DNSSEC support.  DNSSEC with NSEC validation for negative
+records, is complete.  The client supports dynamic DNS with SIG0 authenticated
+requests, implementing easy to use high level funtions.  Hickory DNS is based
+on the Tokio and Futures libraries, which means it should be easily integrated
+into other software that also use those libraries.")
