+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+How does ``cryptography`` compare to NaCl (Networking and Cryptography library)?
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+While ``cryptography`` and `NaCl`_ both share the goal of making cryptography
+easier, and safer, to use for developers, ``cryptography`` is designed to be a
+general purpose library, capable of interoperating with existing systems, while
+NaCl features a collection of hand selected algorithms.
+
+``cryptography``'s recipes layer is similar in design to NaCl.
+
+If you prefer NaCl's design, we highly recommend `PyNaCl`_.
