1//! Short-Authentication-String (SAS) verification — Phase G.
2//!
3//! Two peers OOB-compare a short derived code to confirm they each
4//! hold the matching Ed25519 keys (defense against MITM during initial
5//! contact, before fingerprint trust is established).
6//!
7//! Protocol shape (each step is a signed `RoomMessage` on the room's
8//! gossipsub topic):
9//!
10//! 1. Initiator picks a random 16-byte `tx_id` + an ephemeral X25519
11//! keypair. Sends `SasInit { tx_id, ephemeral_x25519_pubkey, target_fp }`.
12//! 2. Responder generates their own ephemeral X25519 keypair, computes
13//! ECDH with the initiator's pubkey, derives the SAS code via
14//! `derive_sas_code(shared, tx_id)`, and replies with
15//! `SasResponse { tx_id, ephemeral_x25519_pubkey }`. The responder
16//! sees the code locally and shows it.
17//! 3. The initiator computes ECDH the other direction, derives the
18//! same code, shows it.
19//! 4. Both users compare codes OOB. Each side presses Match → broadcasts
20//! `SasConfirm { tx_id, matched: true }`.
21//! 5. On receiving the other side's `matched=true`, set the partner's
22//! fingerprint as `verified=true` (per-room + global `verified_peers`).
23//!
24//! The signatures on each envelope bind the ephemeral X25519 pubkeys to
25//! the sender's Ed25519 identity. A MITM who substitutes their own
26//! ephemeral key into the exchange ends up with a *different* SAS code
27//! than the legitimate peer would compute, so the OOB comparison fails.
28//!
29//! ## SAS table — Matrix MSC 2241 alignment (huddle 0.3.x follow-up)
30//!
31//! Previously the emoji table was a 64-entry "in spirit" derivative;
32//! it has been realigned to the canonical 49-entry Matrix MSC 2241
33//! table so any future cross-client SAS interop just works. The
34//! derivation now uses 7 emoji (42 bits / 6 = 7 chunks, each mod 49)
35//! and 3 four-digit decimal groups (39 bits / 13 = 3 chunks, each
36//! offset +1000 so values land in 1000..9192), exactly as MSC 2241
37//! specifies.
