====================
Shield Recipe Client
====================
Normandy (aka the Shield Recipe Client) is a targeted change control
system, allowing small changes to be made within a release of Firefox,
such as studies.
It downloads recipes and actions from :ref:`Remote Settings <services/remotesettings>`
and then executes them.
.. note::
Originally, the recipes were fetched from the `recipe server`_, but in `Bug 1513854`_
the source was changed to *Remote Settings*. The cryptographic signatures are verified
at the *Remote Settings* level (integrity) and at the *Normandy* level
(authenticity of publisher).
The source can still be controlled by :ref:`Feature Gates <components/featuregates>`.
