(We use AES-CTR to match file encryption and key exports.)
For the purposes of allowing clients to check whether a user has correctly
entered the key, clients should:
1. encrypt and MAC a message consisting of 32 bytes of 0 as described above,
using the empty string as the info parameter to the HKDF in step 1.
2. store the `iv` and `mac` in the `m.secret_storage.key.[key ID]`
account-data.
For example, the `m.secret_storage.key.key_id` for a key using this algorithm
could look like:
```json

"name": "m.default",
"algorithm": "m.secret_storage.v1.aes-hmac-sha2"

"iv": "random+data",
