+WebSocket Remote Card (WSRC)
+============================
+
+WSRC (*Web Socket Remote Card*) is a mechanism by which card readers can be made remotely available
+via a computer network.  The transport mechanism is (as the name implies) a WebSocket.  This transport
+method was chosen to be as firewall/NAT friendly as possible.
+
+WSRC Network Architecture
+-------------------------
+
+In a WSRC network, there are three major elements:
+
+* The **WSRC Card Client** which exposes a locally attached smart card (usually via a Smart Card Reader)
+  to a remote *WSRC Server*
+* The **WSRC Server** manges incoming connections from both *WSRC Card Clients* as well as *WSRC User Clients*
+* The **WSRC User Client** is a user application, like for example pySim-shell, which is accessing a remote
+  card by connecting to the *WSRC Server* which relays the information to the selected *WSRC Card Client*
+
+WSRC Protocol
+-------------
+
+The WSRC protocl consits of JSON objects being sent over a websocket.  The websocket communication itself
+is based on HTTP and should usually operate via TLS for security reasons.
+
+The detailed protocol is currently still WIP. The plan is to document it here.
