1. Alice and Bob establish a secure out-of-band connection, such as
meeting in-person or a video call. "Secure" here means that either
party cannot be impersonated, not explicit secrecy.
2. Alice and Bob communicate which devices they'd like to verify with
each other.
3. Alice selects Bob's device from the device list and begins
verification.
4. Alice's client ensures it has a copy of Bob's device key.

message.

2. Alice and Bob begin a key verification using the key verification
framework as described above.
3. Alice's device sends Bob's device an `m.key.verification.start`

15. Assuming they match, Alice and Bob's devices calculate the HMAC of
their own device keys and a comma-separated sorted list of the key
IDs that they wish the other user to verify, using SHA-256 as the
hash function. HMAC is defined in [RFC
2104](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2104). The key for the HMAC is
different for each item and is calculated by generating 32 bytes
(256 bits) using [the key verification HKDF](#hkdf-calculation).

16. Alice's device sends Bob's device an `m.key.verification.mac`
message containing the MAC of Alice's device keys and the MAC of her
key IDs to be verified. Bob's device does the same for Bob's device
keys and key IDs concurrently with Alice.

17. When the other device receives the `m.key.verification.mac` message,
the device calculates the HMAC of its copies of the other device's
keys given in the message, as well as the HMAC of the
comma-separated, sorted, list of key IDs in the message. The device
compares these with the HMAC values given in the message, and if
everything matches then the device keys are verified.
18. Alice and Bob's devices send `m.key.verification.done` messages to complete
the verification.
