 [![CI 🏗](https://github.com/RealImage/dyno/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/RealImage/dyno/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/RealImage/dyno.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/RealImage/dyno)
 
-Encrypt and decrypt DynamoDB table attribute value maps using either AWS KMS
-or AES with a password. Useful for sending clients the LastEvaluatedKey from
-the result of a DynamoDB Query or Scan operation, for paginating results without
-leaking sensitive information.
+Encrypt and decrypt DynamoDB primary key attribute values.
+You can either use AWS KMS (don't manage keys; expensive) or AES with
+your choice of password.
+
+Use it to send encrypted last evaluated key values that clients can use
+as cursors to paginate through DynamoDB results.
