# SAS verification, v2
## Proposal
A new `key_agreement_protocol`, `curve25519-hkdf-sha256` is introduced. It is
the same as `curve25519` except that the info parameter for the HKDF is the
concatenation of:
* The string `MATRIX_KEY_VERIFICATION_SAS|`.
* The Matrix ID of the user who sent the `m.key.verification.start` message,
followed by `|`.
* The Device ID of the device which sent the `m.key.verification.start`
message, followed by `|`.
* The public key from the `m.key.verification.key` message sent by the device
which sent the `m.key.verification.start` message, followed by `|`.
* The Matrix ID of the user who sent the `m.key.verification.accept` message,
followed by `|`.
* The Device ID of the device which sent the `m.key.verification.accept`
message, followed by `|`.
* The public key from the `m.key.verification.key` message sent by the device
which sent the `m.key.verification.accept` message, followed by `|`.
* The `transaction_id` being used.
A new `message_authentication_code` method, `hkdf-hmac-sha256.v2` is introduced. It
is the same as `hkdf-hmac-sha256`, except that the info parameter for the HKDF
is the concatenation of:
* The string `MATRIX_KEY_VERIFICATION_MAC|`.
* The Matrix ID of the user whose key is being MAC-ed, followed by `|`.
* The Device ID of the device sending the MAC, followed by `|`.
* The Matrix ID of the other user, followed by `|`.
* The Device ID of the device receiving the MAC, followed by `|`.
* The transaction_id being used, followed by `|`.
* The Key ID of the key being MAC-ed, or the string `KEY_IDS` if the item
being MAC-ed is the list of key IDs.
A new `short_authentication_string` method, `emoji.v2` is introduced. It is
the same as `emoji`, but emoji number 34 is changed from 🔧 (`U+1F527` Spanner)
to ⭐ (`U+2B50` Star).
The `key_agreement_protocol` `curve25519`, `message_authentication_code`
`hkdf-hmac-sha256`, and `short_authentication_string` `emoji` are deprecated.
