-Simple and safe pasting over HTTP.
+httpaste is a pastebin application for easily pasting and retrieving data over 
+HTTP from shell environments and web browsers. It is inspired by `sprunge.us`_ 
+and `ix.io`_, but focuses on extendability, advanced security, with little to 
+no trade-off to simplicity. It can be hosted through WSGI, CGI, Fast CGI, or 
+as a standalone evaluation server. It offers multiple storage backends, such as 
+a filesystem backend, SQLite backend, MySQL backend, or MongoDB backend.
 
-httpaste is a pastebin application for easily pasting and retrieving data over HTTP from shell environments and web browsers. It is inspired by sprunge.us and ix.io, but focuses on extendability and advanced security.
+All pastes are being encrypted on the fly and can only be retrieved by an 
+authorized user, either through knowing the paste id of a public paste, or 
+having authentication credentials, as well as the paste id of a private paste. 
+This makes httpaste ideal as a pastebin for sensitive environments such as the 
+Tor network. Authentication credentials are created on-the-fly and don't  require a sign-up process.
 
-public and private pastes are supported. In any case, httpaste provides full anonymity, with each paste being stored encrypted.
+httpaste supports output formatting for syntax highlighting (powered by 
+`pygments`_), as well as MIME type output manipulation, and input encoding. 
+Therefore httpaste can server as an anonymous object storage for small data.
 
-Why
----
-
-As a user: Sometimes we say and write stupid things. Things so stupid, that 
-others may even be offended. Others being so offended, that they wish to take 
-legal actions against you. Legal actions which infringe upon your rights for
- privacy. Who is the others? Well, it's the 
- 
-Public pastes: Only people you share the paste id with are able to view the paste. Public pastes aren't indexed publicly, so Public pastes are encrypted with their paste id and the paste id is only
-stored as a hash. Therefore the httpaste application hoster is unable to view any pastes, unless he maliciously logs any of the HTTP requests.
+Minute-based and 'burn-after-read' paste expiration are supported.
 
+httpaste focuses on security through cryptography, making it a computationally intensive application.
