-Unsupported at this time:
-- Signing
-- KMS
+There is not built-in support for signing with a KMS or other bring-your-own-key; however you can easily add support by implementing your own version of the interface `pkg/sign/keys.go:Keypair`.
 
 For an example of how to use this library, see [the verification documentation](./docs/verification.md), the CLI [cmd/sigstore-go](./cmd/sigstore-go/main.go), or the CLI examples below. Note that the CLI is to demonstrate how to use the library, and not intended as a fully-featured Sigstore CLI like [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign).
 
 ## Background
 
-Sigstore already has a canonical Go client implementation, [cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign), which was developed with a focus on container image signing/verification. It has a rich CLI and a long legacy of features and development. `sigstore-go` is a more minimal and friendly API for integrating Go code with Sigstore, with a focus on the newly specified data structures in [sigstore/protobuf-specs](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs). `sigstore-go` attempts to minimize the dependency tree for simple verification tasks, omitting KMS support and container image verification, and we intend to refactor parts of `cosign` to depend on `sigstore-go`.

 ## Status
 
-`sigstore-go` is currently pre-1.0 and therefore does not guarantee a stable API. It does however pass the [`sigstore-conformance`](https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-conformance) verification test suite, and verification correctness is taken very seriously.

+# Signing using `sigstore-go`
+
+This document will walk you through using `sigstore-go` to generate a Sigstore bundle.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Unix-compatible OS
+- [Go 1.21](https://go.dev/doc/install)
+
+## Installation
+
+Clone this repository and run the following command:
+
+```shell
+$ make examples
+$ go install ./examples/sigstore-go-signing
+```
+
+## Bundle
+
+This library generates [Sigstore bundles](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs/blob/main/protos/sigstore_bundle.proto) encoded as JSON, which are composed of raw message signatures or attestations, combined with certificates, transparency log data, signed timestamps, and other metadata to form a single, verifiable artifact.
+
+## Trusted Root
+
+You can optionally provide a [trusted root](https://github.com/sigstore/protobuf-specs/blob/main/protos/sigstore_trustroot.proto), containing root/intermediate certificate of the Fulcio/TSA/Rekor instances used to sign the bundle, which the signer will use to verify the bundle before returning it. Because the trusted root content changes as key material is rotated, the example uses TUF to fetch an up-to-date trusted root.
+
+## Abstractions
+
+The library provides enough implementation to sign content with the Sigstore public good instance. It also provides interfaces so that in can be used in a wide variety of private deployments or other use-cases:
+
+- `Content` to represent what it is you want to be signed. Implementations are provided for `PlainData` or `DSSE` encoded content.
+- `Keypair` for how the content should be signed. A default implementation of `EphemeralKeypair` is provided, intended to be used with Sigstore Fulcio, with a ECDSA key using the P-256 curve. If you need a different key type, or a durable key, or support for a KMS, you can implement the `Keypair` interface.
+- `CertificateProvider` for obtaining a code signing certificate. A default `Fulcio` implementation is provided.
+- `Transparency` for obtaining a transparency log entry. A default `Rekor` implementation is provided.
+
+Although not an interface, there is also a `TimestampAuthority` that you can use to corroborate when the signing certificate was obtained.
+
+## Interface
+
+Looking at the `Bundle()` function and its associated `BundleOptions`, you can see what is required to generate a bundle with signed content:
+
+- `Content` that represents what it is you want to be signed
+- `Keypair` for what to use to sign the content
+
+And then optionally:
+
+- A `CertificateProvider`
+- One or more `TimestampAuthorities`
+- One or more `Transparency` log entry providers
+- `TrustedRoot` material to verify the bundle before returning it
+
+See [sigstore-go-signing](../examples/sigstore-go-signing/main.go) for an example of how to use this interface.
+
+## Examples
+
+A very basic example of signing with a provided keypair with a signed timestamp:
+
+```bash
+$ sigstore-go-signing -tsa examples/sigstore-go-signing/hello_world.txt
+Using public key:
+
+-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
