When validating event signatures, servers MUST enforce the valid_until_ts property from a key request is at least as large as the origin_server_ts for the event being validated. Servers missing a copy of the signing key MUST try to obtain one via the GET /_matrix/key/v2/server or POST /_matrix/key/v2/query APIs. When using the /query endpoint, servers MUST set the minimum_valid_until_ts property to prompt the notary server to attempt to refresh the key if appropriate.

Servers MUST use the lesser of valid_until_ts and 7 days into the future when determining if a key is valid. This is to avoid a situation where an attacker publishes a key which is valid for a significant amount of time without a way for the homeserver owner to revoke it.
