 # SmartDeviceLink (SDL)
 
 SmartDeviceLink (SDL) is a standard set of protocols and messages that connect applications on a smartphone to a vehicle head unit. This messaging enables a consumer to interact with their application using common in-vehicle interfaces such as a touch screen display, embedded voice recognition, steering wheel controls and various vehicle knobs and buttons. There are three main components that make up the SDL ecosystem.

 ## SDL Server
-
 The SmartDeviceLink (SDL) server handles authentication, data collection, and basic configurations for SDL connected vehicles.  In general, these tasks are accomplished using JSON documents called Policy Tables, which the [SDL Core component](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_core) uses to validate messaging with connected applications. The Policy Tables are configured on the SDL server, downloaded through the SDL Proxy and passed along to [SDL Core](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_core).
 
-## Current Status
-SDL Server is a reference server to help developers understand how SDL works.  It is **NOT** meant to be a production server.

-## Important Notices
-**Encrypted vs Plain Text:** SDL Policy Tables can be downloaded and transferred to SDL [core](https://github.com/smartdevicelink/sdl_core) in a proprietary format or as plain text.  A proprietary format consist of encrypted packets, to which only your SDL server and core hold the key(s).
