If true, all unverified devices will be blacklisted by default
Whether sendMessage in a room with unknown and unverified devices should throw an error and not send the message. This has 'Global' for symmetry with setGlobalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices but there is currently no room-level equivalent for this setting.

Checks whether cross signing:
If this function returns false, bootstrapCrossSigning() can be used to fix things such that it returns true. That is to say, after bootstrapCrossSigning() completes successfully, this function should return true.
The cross-signing API is currently UNSTABLE and may change without notice.
True if cross-signing is ready to be used on this device

Determine if a key backup can be trusted.
Implementation of Crypto.CryptoApi.isKeyBackupTrusted.
Checks whether secret storage:
If this function returns false, bootstrapSecretStorage() can be used to fix things such that it returns true. That is to say, after bootstrapSecretStorage() completes successfully, this function should return true.
The Secure Secret Storage API is currently UNSTABLE and may change without notice.
True if secret storage is ready to be used on this device
Use MatrixClient#secretStorage and SecretStorage.ServerSideSecretStorage#isStored.
Returns the number of listeners listening to the event named event.
The name of the event being listened for
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named event.
Alias for removeListener
Adds the listener function to the end of the listeners array for the
event named event.
No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls
passing the same combination of event and listener will result in the listener
being added, and called, multiple times.
By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The prependListener method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.
The name of the event.
The callback function
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Adds a one-time listener function for the event named event. The
next time event is triggered, this listener is removed and then invoked.
Returns a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
By default, event listeners are invoked in the order they are added. The prependOnceListener method can be used as an alternative to add the event listener to the beginning of the listeners array.
The name of the event.
The callback function
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
handle an m.room.encryption event
in which the event was received

Called before the result of a sync is processed
the data from the 'MatrixClient.sync' event
Implementation of Crypto.CryptoApi.pinCurrentUserIdentity.
Perform any background tasks that can be done before a message is ready to send, in order to speed up sending of the message.
the room the event is in
Adds the listener function to the beginning of the listeners array for the
event named event.
No checks are made to see if the listener has already been added. Multiple calls
passing the same combination of event and listener will result in the listener
being added, and called, multiple times.
The name of the event.
The callback function
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Adds a one-timelistener function for the event named event to the beginning of the listeners array.
The next time event is triggered, this listener is removed, and then invoked.
The name of the event.
The callback function
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Called by the /sync loop whenever there are incoming to-device messages.
The implementation may preprocess the received messages (eg, decrypt them) and return an updated list of messages for dispatch to the rest of the system.
Note that, unlike ClientEvent.ToDeviceEvent events, this is called on the raw to-device messages, rather than the results of any decryption attempts.
the received to-device messages
A list of preprocessed to-device messages.
Handle the notification from /sync that device lists have been changed.
device_lists field from /sync
Called by the /sync loop when one time key counts and unused fallback key details are received.
OptionaloneTimeKeysCounts: Record<string, number>the received one time key counts
OptionalunusedFallbackKeys: string[]the received unused fallback keys
Returns a copy of the array of listeners for the event named eventName,
including any wrappers (such as those created by .once()).
Tell the crypto module to register for MatrixClient events which it needs to listen for
event source where we can register for event notifications
Removes all listeners, or those of the specified event.
It is bad practice to remove listeners added elsewhere in the code,
particularly when the EventEmitter instance was created by some other
component or module (e.g. sockets or file streams).
Optionalevent: EventEmitterEvents | CryptoEventThe name of the event. If undefined, all listeners everywhere are removed.
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Removes the specified listener from the listener array for the event named event.
a reference to the EventEmitter, so that calls can be chained.
Request an interactive verification with the given device.
This is normally used on one of our own devices, when the current device is already cross-signed, and we want to validate another device.
If a verification for this user/device is already in flight, returns it. Otherwise, initiates a new one.
To control the methods offered, set matrix.ICreateClientOpts.verificationMethods when creating the
MatrixClient.

a VerificationRequest when the request has been sent to the other party.
Send a verification request to our other devices.
This is normally used when the current device is new, and we want to ask another of our devices to cross-sign.
If an all-devices verification is already in flight, returns it. Otherwise, initiates a new one.
To control the methods offered, set matrix.ICreateClientOpts.verificationMethods when creating the
MatrixClient.

Implementation of Crypto.CryptoApi#resetKeyBackup.
Save the device list, if necessary
Time in ms before which the save actually happens. By default, the save is delayed for a short period in order to batch multiple writes, but this behaviour can be disabled by passing 0.
true if the data was saved, false if it was not (eg. because no changes were pending). The promise will only resolve once the data is saved, so may take some time to resolve.
Use MatrixClient#secretStorage and SecretStorage.ServerSideSecretStorage#setDefaultKeyId.

Optionalkeys: Record<string, string>The list of keys that was present during the device verification. This will be double checked with the list of keys the given device has currently.
updated DeviceInfo
Mark the given device as locally verified.
Implementation of Crypto.CryptoApi#setDeviceVerified.
Set the global override for whether the client should ever send encrypted messages to unverified devices. This provides the default for rooms which do not specify a value.
