 The constructor of the `RemoteSigner` class requires the public key hash and the URL of the remote signer as parameters. It also takes optional headers (i.e., Authorization) and an optional `HttpBackend` to override the default one if needed.
 
+### Authenticated requests
+`RemoteSigner` can use an authenticated protocol. All you need is to pass a secret key in the Tezos Base58 format as `RemoteSignerOptions` property:
+
+```ts
+const authSecretKey = 'edsk39CjLvKZhJ1NEaCTE6A1cgHjt5mK2mFdCqqMr1P54qLnwmiCAr';
+// ...
+const signer = new RemoteSigner(pkh, rootUrl, { authSecretKey });
+// next steps as above
+```
+
