+// # Noise Protocol Handshake
+//
+// This example demonstrates how to use the `noise-sv2` crate to establish a Noise handshake
+// between and initiator and responder, and encrypt and decrypt a secret message. It showcases how
+// to:
+//
+// - Generate a cryptographic keypair using the `secp256k1` library.
+// - Perform a Noise handshake between an initiator and responder.
+// - Transition from handshake to secure communication mode.
+// - Encrypt a message as the initiator role.
+// - Decrypt the message as the responder role.
+//
+// ## Run
+//
+// ```sh
+// cargo run --example handshake
+// ```
+
+use noise_sv2::{Initiator, Responder};
+use secp256k1::{Keypair, Parity, Secp256k1};
+
+// Even parity used in the Schnorr signature process
+const PARITY: Parity = Parity::Even;
+// Validity duration of the responder's certificate, seconds
+const RESPONDER_CERT_VALIDITY: u32 = 3600;
+
+// Generates a secp256k1 public/private key pair for the responder.
+fn generate_key() -> Keypair {
+    let secp = Secp256k1::new();
+    let (secret_key, _) = secp.generate_keypair(&mut rand::thread_rng());
+    let kp = Keypair::from_secret_key(&secp, &secret_key);
+    if kp.x_only_public_key().1 == PARITY {
+        kp
+    } else {
+        generate_key()
+    }
+}
+
