Private Readonly verificationOptional keyID: stringPrivate afterRun various follow-up actions after cross-signing keys have changed locally (either by resetting the keys for the account or by getting them from secret storage), such as signing the current device, upgrading device verifications, etc.
Bootstrap cross-signing by creating keys if needed. If everything is already set up, then no changes are made, so this is safe to run to ensure cross-signing is ready for use.
This function:
The cross-signing API is currently UNSTABLE and may change without notice.
Bootstrap Secure Secret Storage if needed by creating a default key. If everything is already set up, then no changes are made, so this is safe to run to ensure secret storage is ready for use.

Whether to trust a others users signatures of their devices. If false, devices will only be considered 'verified' if we have verified that device individually (effectively disabling cross-signing).

Get information about the encryption of an event
An object with the fields:

Get the device which sent an event
event to be checked
whether to blacklist all unverified devices by default
For external code, use getGlobalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices. For internal code, reference #globalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices directly.
Get information on the active olm sessions with a user
Returns a map from device id to an object with keys 'deviceIdKey' (the device's curve25519 identity key) and 'sessions' (an array of objects in the same format as that returned by module:crypto/OlmDevice#getSessionInfoForDevice).
This method is provided for debugging purposes.

Private getPrivate
Get a decryptor for a given room and algorithm.
If we already have a decryptor for the given room and algorithm, return it. Otherwise try to instantiate it.
if the algorithm is unknown

Private getPrivate getHandle the notification from /sync or /keys/changes that device lists have been changed.
Object containing sync tokens associated with this sync
device_lists field from /sync, or response from /keys/changes
Private handleImport a list of room keys previously exported by exportRoomKeys
a promise which resolves once the keys have been imported
a list of session export objects
Checks whether cross signing:
If this function returns false, bootstrapCrossSigning() can be used to fix things such that it returns true. That is to say, after bootstrapCrossSigning() completes successfully, this function should return true.
The cross-signing API is currently UNSTABLE and may change without notice.
True if cross-signing is ready to be used on this device
Checks whether secret storage:
If this function returns false, bootstrapSecretStorage() can be used to fix things such that it returns true. That is to say, after bootstrapSecretStorage() completes successfully, this function should return true.
The Secure Secret Storage API is currently UNSTABLE and may change without notice.
True if secret storage is ready to be used on this device

Optional devices: string[]Private requestSave the device list, if necessary
true if the data was saved, false if it was not (eg. because no changes were pending). The promise will only resolve once the data is saved, so may take some time to resolve.
Time in ms before which the save actually happens. By default, the save is delayed for a short period in order to batch multiple writes, but this behaviour can be disabled by passing 0.

Set the global override for whether the client should ever send encrypted messages to unverified devices. This provides the default for rooms which do not specify a value.
For external code, use setGlobalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices. For internal code, set #globalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices directly.

Upload the device keys to the homeserver.
A promise that will resolve when the keys are uploaded.
Private uploadStatic getGenerated using TypeDoc
Typed Event Emitter class which can act as a Base Model for all our model and communication events. This makes it much easier for us to distinguish between events, as we now need to properly type this, so that our events are not stringly-based and prone to silly typos.
