The *auth chain* for an event is the recursive list of auth events and the auth
|
|
|
|
|
chain for those auth events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The auth chain for event gives all the information a server needs to accept an
|
|
|
|
|
event. However, being given an auth chain for an event that appears valid does
|
|
|
|
|
not mean that the event might later be rejected. For example if we discover
|
|
|
|
|
that the sender had been banned between the join event listed in the auth
|
|
|
|
|
events and the event being authed.
