### End-to-End Encryption Notes ### End-to-End Encryption Notes
Currently this module has no way of getting encryption keys from other devices on the same account. Therefore it is recommended you use the bot exclusively with Node-RED after it's creation. Failure to do so will lead to your bot being unable to receive messages from e2ee rooms it joined from another client. Shared secret registration makes this super easy since it returns a token and device ID. Currently this module has no way of getting encryption keys from other devices on the same account.

This module stores a folder in your Node-RED directory called `matrix-local-storage` and is it vital that you periodically back this up if you are using e2ee. This is where the client stores all the keys necessary to decrypt messages and if lost you will lose access to e2e rooms. If you move your client to another NR install make sure to migrate this folder as well (and do not let both the old and new client run at same time).

Want to contribute? Any help on getting the last pieces of e2ee figured out would be greatly appreciated :) Want to contribute? Any help on getting the last pieces of e2ee figured out would be greatly appreciated :)
