Creating a session
Email associations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A client makes a call to::
{{email_associations_is_http_api}}
POST https://my.id.server:8090/_matrix/identity/api/v1/validate/email/requestToken
General
~~~~~~~
client_secret=monkeys_are_GREAT&
email=foo@bar.com&
send_attempt=1
It may also optionally specify next_link. If next_link is specified, when the
validation is completed, the identity service will redirect the user to that
URL.
This will create a new "session" on the identity service, identified by an
``sid``.
The identity service will send an email containing a token. If that token is
presented to the identity service in the future, it indicates that that user was
able to read the email for that email address, and so we validate ownership of
the email address.
We return the ``sid`` generated for this session to the caller, in a JSON object
containing the ``sid`` key.
If a send_attempt is specified, the server will only send an email if the
send_attempt is a number greater than the most recent one which it has seen (or
if it has never seen one), scoped to that email address + client_secret pair.
This is to avoid repeatedly sending the same email in the case of request
retries between the POSTing user and the identity service. The client should
increment this value if they desire a new email (e.g. a reminder) to be sent.
Note that Home Servers offer APIs that proxy this API, adding additional
behaviour on top, for example, ``/register/email/requestToken`` is designed
specifically for use when registering an account and therefore will inform
the user if the email address given is already registered on the server.
Validating ownership of an email
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A user may make either a ``GET`` or a ``POST`` request to
``/_matrix/identity/api/v1/validate/email/submitToken`` with the following
parameters (either as query parameters or URL-encoded POST parameters):
- ``sid`` the sid for the session, generated by the ``requestToken`` call.
- ``client_secret`` the client secret which was supplied to the ``requestToken`` call.
- ``token`` the token generated by the ``requestToken`` call, and emailed to the user.
If these three values are consistent with a set generated by a ``requestToken``
call, ownership of the email address is considered to have been validated. This
does not publish any information publicly, or associate the email address with
any Matrix user ID. Specifically, calls to ``/lookup`` will not show a binding.
Otherwise, an error will be returned.
Checking non-published 3pid ownership
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A client can check whether ownership of a 3pid was validated by making an
HTTP GET request to ``/_matrix/identity/api/v1/3pid/getValidated3pid``, passing
the ``sid`` and ``client_secret`` as query parameters from the ``requestToken``
call.
It will return something of either the form::
{"medium": "email", "validated_at": 1457622739026, "address": "foo@bar.com"}
or::
{"errcode": "M_SESSION_NOT_VALIDATED", "error": "This validation session has not yet been completed"}
If the ``sid`` and ``client_secret`` were not recognised, or were not correct,
an error will be returned.
Publishing a validated association
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An association between a session and a Matrix user ID can be published by making
a URL-encoded HTTP POST request to ``/_matrix/identity/api/v1/3pid/bind`` with
the following parameters::
sid=sid&
client_secret=monkeys_are_GREAT&
mxid=@foo:bar.com
If the session is still valid, this will publish an association between the
3pids validated on that session and the passed Matrix user ID. Future calls
to ``/lookup`` for any of the session's 3pids will return this association.
If the 3pid has not yet been validated, the HTTP request will be rejected, and
the association will not be established.
If the ``sid`` and ``client_secret`` were not recognised, or were not correct,
an error will be returned.

Invitation Storage
------------------
@ -216,32 +131,6 @@ An identity service can store pending invitations to a user's 3pid, which will
be retrieved and can be either notified on or look up when the 3pid is
associated with a Matrix user ID.
If one makes a ``POST`` request to ``/_matrix/identity/api/v1/store-invite`` with the following URL-encoded POST parameters:
- ``medium`` (string, required): The literal string ``email``.
- ``address`` (string, required): The email address of the invited user.
- ``room_id`` (string, required): The Matrix room ID to which the user is invited.
- ``sender`` (string, required): The matrix user ID of the inviting user.
An arbitrary number of other parameters may also be specified. These may be used in the email generation described below.
The service will look up whether the 3pid is bound to a Matrix user ID. If it is, the request will be rejected with a 400 status code.
If the medium is something other than the literal string ``email``, the request will be rejected with a 400 status code.
Otherwise, the service will then generate a random string called ``token``, and an ephemeral public key.
The service also generates a ``display_name`` for the inviter, which is a redacted version of ``address`` which does not leak the full contents of the ``address``.
The service records persistently all of the above information.
It also generates an email containing all of this data, sent to the ``address`` parameter, notifying them of the invitation.
The response body is then populated as the JSON-encoded dictionary containing the following fields:
- ``token`` (string): The generated token.
- ``public_keys`` ([string]): A list of [server's long-term public key, generated ephemeral public key].
- ``display_name`` (string): The generated (redacted) display_name.
At a later point, if the owner of that particular 3pid binds it with a Matrix user ID, the identity server will attempt to make an HTTP POST to the Matrix user's homeserver which looks roughly as below::

Ephemeral invitation signing
----------------------------
@ -281,23 +170,7 @@ Ephemeral invitation signing
To aid clients who may not be able to perform crypto themselves, the identity service offers some crypto functionality to help in accepting invitations.
This is less secure than the client doing it itself, but may be useful where this isn't possible.
The identity service will happily sign invitation details with a request-specified ed25519 private key for you, if you want it to. It takes URL-encoded POST parameters:
- mxid (string, required)
- token (string, required)
- private_key (string, required): The private key, encoded as `Unpadded base64`_.
It will look up ``token`` which was stored in a call to ``store-invite``, and fetch the sender of the invite. It will then respond with JSON which looks something like::
{
"mxid": "@foo:bar.com",
"sender": "@baz:bar.com",
"signatures" {
"my.id.server": {
"ed25519:0": "def987"
}
