+## What is Moquette?
+
+Moquette aims to be a MQTT compliant broker. The broker supports QoS 0, QoS 1 and QoS 2.
+
+Its designed to be evented, uses Netty for the protocol encoding and decoding part, the protocol logic 
+is essentially a single threaded and it's isolated from front connectors part by LMAX disruptor's ring buffer.
+ 
+## Who use it?
+
+[Freedomotic] (http://www.freedomotic.com/) Is an home automation framework, uses Moquette embedded to interface with MQTT world.
+Part of moquette are also used into the [Vertx MQTT module] (https://github.com/giovibal/vertx-mqtt-broker-mod), into [MQTT spy](https://code.google.com/p/mqtt-spy/) 
+and into [WSO2 Messge broker] (http://techexplosives-pamod.blogspot.it/2014/05/mqtt-transport-architecture-wso2-mb-3x.html).
+
+## 1 minute set up
+Start play with it, download the self distribution tar from [BinTray](http://dl.bintray.com/andsel/generic/distribution-0.6-bundle-tar.tar.gz) ,
+the un untar and start the broker listening on 1883 port and enjoy! 
+```
+tar zxf distribution-0.6-bundle-tar.tar.gz
+cd bin
+./moquette.sh
+```
+
+### Running inside OSGi container
+
+Starting from version 0.6 Moquette is OSGi compliant, to see it in action: 
+```
+mvn clean install;
+cd budle;
+mvn install pax:provision
+``` 
+
+## Embedding in other projects
+To embed Moquette in another maven project is sufficient to include a repository and declare the dependency: 
+
+```
+<repositories>
+  <repository>
+    <id>bintray</id>
+    <url>http://dl.bintray.com/andsel/maven/</url>
+    <releases>
+      <enabled>true</enabled>
+    </releases>
+    <snapshots>
+      <enabled>false</enabled>
+    </snapshots>
+  </repository>
+</repositories>
+```
+
+Include dependency in your project: 
+
+```
+<dependency>
+      <groupId>org.dna.mqtt</groupId>
+      <artifactId>moquette-broker</artifactId>
+      <version>0.6</version>
+</dependency>
+```
+
+## Build from sources
+
+After a git clone of the repository, cd into the cloned sources and: `mvn clean package`. 
+In distribution/target directory will be produced the selfcontained tar for the broker with all dependencies and a running script. 
+
+
+## SSL configuration
+Here are some simple steps to do to configure Moquette to serve over SSL 
+ **Details **
+Moquette uses JavaKeyStore? and certificates to handle SSL. In order to expose it over SSL you have create a keystore for 
+the broker (select the password), exporting a certificate and define 4 variables into moquette.conf.
+ 
+ **Create a keystore**
+ In a directory generate the keystore using the JRE's keytool: 
+ ```
+ keytool -keystore serverkeystore.jks -alias testserver -genkey -keyalg RSA
+ ```
+ 
+ To make it work you have to answer at the first question, say moquette.dna.org and as password we could use passw0rdsrv 
+ for both (keystore and keymanger)
+  
+ **Export a certificate**
+  Then you need export a certificate: 
+  ```
+  keytool -export -alias testserver -keystore serverkeystore.jks -file testserver.crt
+  ```
+  
+  **Imporing on the client side**
+  Supposing you have already created the keystore for the client side, (name it clientkeystore for example), we could import the certificate with: 
+  ```
+  keytool -keystore clientkeystore.jks -import -alias testserver -file testserver.crt -trustcacerts
+  ```
+  
+  It's done! We just need use the Paho client to connect to the server, check ServerIntegrationSSLTest.java integration test to see how.
