Bootstrap cross-signing by creating keys if needed. If everything is already set up, then no changes are made, so this is safe to run to ensure cross-signing is ready for use.
This function:
The cross-signing API is currently UNSTABLE and may change without notice.
Bootstrap Secure Secret Storage if needed by creating a default key. If everything is already set up, then no changes are made, so this is safe to run to ensure secret storage is ready for use.

Initialise the crypto module so that it is ready for use
Returns a promise which resolves once the crypto module is ready for use.
(Optional) data from exported device that must be re-created.
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
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

Private onCalled 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 ToDeviceEvent events, this is called on the raw to-device messages, rather than the results of any decryption attempts.

Optional devices: string[]Private requestSave the device list, if necessary
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.
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.

Optional keys: 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.
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.
For external code, use setGlobalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices. For internal code, set MatrixClient#globalBlacklistUnverifiedDevices directly.
whether to blacklist all unverified devices by default
Configure a room to use encryption (ie, save a flag in the cryptoStore).
It is normally incorrect to call this method directly. Encryption
is enabled by receiving an m.room.encryption event (which we may have sent
previously).
The room ID to enable encryption in.
The encryption config for the room.
Optional inhibitDeviceQuery: booleantrue to suppress device list query for users in the room (for now). In case lazy loading is enabled, the device query is always inhibited as the members are not tracked.
Private setSet up encryption for a room.
This is called when an m.room.encryption event is received. It saves a flag for the room in the cryptoStore (if it wasn't already set), sets up an "encryptor" for the room, and enables device-list tracking for the room.
It does not initiate a device list query for the room. That is normally done once we finish processing the sync, in onSyncCompleted.
The room to enable encryption in.
The encryption config for the room.
sign the given object with our ed25519 key
Object to which we will add a 'signatures' property
Private storeStore a set of keys as our own, trusted, cross-signing keys.

Make sure we are tracking the device lists for all users in this room.
when all devices for the room have been fetched and marked to track
there's normally no need to call this function: device list tracking will be enabled as soon as we have the full membership list.
The room ID to start tracking devices in.
Private trackMake sure we are tracking the device lists for all users in this room.
This is normally called when we are about to send an encrypted event, to make sure we have all the devices in the room; but it is also called when processing an m.room.encryption state event (if lazy-loading is disabled), or when members are loaded (if lazy-loading is enabled), to prepare the device list.
Room to enable device-list tracking in
Upload the device keys to the homeserver.
A promise that will resolve when the keys are uploaded.
