-The *Config* object is a collection of mutable defaults used throughout the library
+The *Settings* object is a collection of mutable defaults used throughout the library. Modification of these defaults is not necessary, but is made available for developers who want finer control of Rijndael256.

+### Example
+
+```C#
+// The HashIterations setting is used in several places throughout the lib,
+// with Rijndael.Encrypt being just one of them. After making this change,
+// any future calls to Rijndael.Encrypt will make use of this new value
+Settings.HashIterations = 25000;
+```
