+OIDC Login Flow
+---------------
+
+The following usage demonstrates an OIDC login flow using pyjwt. Further
+reading about the OIDC spec is recommended for implementers.
+
+In particular, this demonstrates validation of the ``at_hash`` claim.
+This claim relies on data from outside of the the JWT for validation. Methods
+are provided which support computation and validation of this claim, but it
+is not built into pyjwt.
