In order to help mitigate errors, and to make the process +eaiser for users, some verification methods are supported by the specification. +The methods all use a common framework for negotiating the key verification. + +To use this framework, Alice's client would send ``m.key.verification.request`` +events to Bob's devices. All of the ``to_device`` messages sent to Bob MUST have +the same ``transaction_id`` to indicate they are part of the same request. This +allows Bob to reject the request on one device, and have it apply to all of his +devices. Similarly, it allows Bob to process the verification on one device without +having to involve all of his devices. + +When Bob's device receives a ``m.key.verification.request``, it should prompt Bob +to verify keys with Alice using one of the supported methods in the request. If +Bob's device does not understand any of the methods, it should not cancel the request +as one of his other devices may support the request. Instead, Bob's device should +tell Bob that an unsupported method was used for starting key verification.

The prompt should additionally be hidden if +an appropriate ``m.key.verification.cancel`` message is received. + +If Bob rejects the request, Bob's client must send a ``m.key.verification.cancel`` +message to Alice's device. Upon receipt, Alice's device should tell her that Bob +does not want to verify her device and send ``m.key.verification.cancel`` messages +to all of Bob's devices to notify them that the request was rejected. + +If Bob accepts the request, Bob's device starts the key verification process by +sending a ``m.key.verification.start`` message to Alice's device. Upon receipt +of this message, Alice's device should send a ``m.key.verification.cancel`` message +to all of Bob's other devices to indicate the process has been started. The start +message must use the same ``transaction_id`` from the original key verification +request if it is in response to the request.
