+@subsection TLS Pre-Shared Keys (PSK)
+
+Instead of using certificates, you may also use TLS Pre-Shared Keys
+(TLS-PSK).  This can be simpler to set up than certificates but is
+less scalable.
+
+Use the GnuTLS @code{psktool} program to generate a @code{keys.psk}
+file containing one or more usernames and random keys:
+
+@example
+mkdir -m 0700 /tmp/keys
+psktool -u rich -p /tmp/keys/keys.psk
+@end example
+
+TLS-enabled servers such as qemu-nbd can use this directory like so:
+
+@example
+qemu-nbd \
+  -t -x / \
+  --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,endpoint=server,dir=/tmp/keys \
+  --tls-creds tls0 \
+  image.qcow2
+@end example
+
+When connecting from a qemu-based client you must specify the
+directory containing @code{keys.psk} and an optional @var{username}
+(defaults to ``qemu''):
+
+@example
+qemu-img info \
+  --object tls-creds-psk,id=tls0,dir=/tmp/keys,username=rich,endpoint=client \
+  --image-opts \

+Creates a TLS Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) credentials object, which can be used to provide
+TLS support on network backends. The @option{id} parameter is a unique
+ID which network backends will use to access the credentials. The
+@option{endpoint} is either @option{server} or @option{client} depending
+on whether the QEMU network backend that uses the credentials will be
+acting as a client or as a server. For clients only, @option{username}
+is the username which will be sent to the server.  If omitted
+it defaults to ``qemu''.
+
+The @var{dir} parameter tells QEMU where to find the keys file.
+It is called ``@var{dir}/keys.psk'' and contains ``username:key''
+pairs.  This file can most easily be created using the GnuTLS
+@code{psktool} program.
+
+For server endpoints, @var{dir} may also contain a file
+@var{dh-params.pem} providing diffie-hellman parameters to use
+for the TLS server. If the file is missing, QEMU will generate
+a set of DH parameters at startup. This is a computationally
+expensive operation that consumes random pool entropy, so it is
+recommended that a persistent set of parameters be generated
+upfront and saved.
