Up until now, users had to listen for to-device events to check for
secrets that were received as an `m.secret.send` event.
This has a bunch of shortcomings:
1. Once the has been given to the consumer, it's gone and can't be
retrieved anymore. Secrets may get lost if an app restart happens
before the consumer decides what to do with it.
2. The consumer can't be sure if the event was received in a
secure manner.
This commit ads a inbox for our received secrets where we will long-term
store all secrets we receive until the user decides to delete them.
It's deemed fine to store all secrets, since we only accept secrets we
have requested and if they have been received from a verified device of
ours.
matrix-rust-sdk
matrix-rust-sdk is an implementation of a Matrix client-server library in Rust.
Project structure
The rust-sdk consists of multiple crates that can be picked at your convenience:
- matrix-sdk - High level client library, with batteries included, you're most likely interested in this.
- matrix-sdk-base - No (network) IO client state machine that can be used to embed a Matrix client in your project or build a full fledged network enabled client lib on top of it.
- matrix-sdk-crypto - No (network) IO encryption state machine that can be used to add Matrix E2EE support to your client or client library.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
These crates are built with the Rust language version 2021 and require a minimum compiler version of 1.70.
Status
The library is in an alpha state, things that are implemented generally work but the API will change in breaking ways.
If you are interested in using the matrix-sdk now is the time to try it out and provide feedback.
Bindings
Some crates of the matrix-rust-sdk can be embedded inside other
environments, like Swift, Kotlin, JavaScript, Node.js etc. Please,
explore the bindings/ directory to learn more.
