+# Introduction
+
+This specification describes a way to decouple protocol-level
+obfuscation from an application's client/server code, in a manner
+that promotes rapid development of obfuscation/circumvention
+tools and promotes reuse beyond the scope of the Tor Project's
+efforts in that area.
+
+This is accomplished by utilizing helper sub-processes that
+implement the necessary forward/reverse proxy servers that handle
+the censorship circumvention, with a well defined and
+standardized configuration and management interface.
+
+Any application code that implements the interfaces as specified
+in this document will be able to use all spec compliant Pluggable
+Transports.
