Check that signatures on events are valid
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We should check that both the sender's server, and the server which created the
event_id (which may be different from whatever the remote server has told us
the origin is), have signed the event.

# (currently this is written assuming the v1 room structure; we'll probably want a

# we want to check that the event is signed by:
#
# (a) the server which created the event_id
#
# (b) the sender's server.
#
# - except in the case of invites created from a 3pid invite, which are exempt
# from this check, because the sender has to match that of the original 3pid
# invite, but the event may come from a different HS, for reasons that I don't
# entirely grok (why do the senders have to match? and if they do, why doesn't the
# joining server ask the inviting server to do the switcheroo with
# exchange_third_party_invite?).
#
# That's pretty awful, since redacting such an invite will render it invalid
# (because it will then look like a regular invite without a valid signature),
# and signatures are *supposed* to be valid whether or not an event has been
# redacted. But this isn't the worst of the ways that 3pid invites are broken.
