non-essential event contents. Before signing the event it is encoded as
Canonical JSON and hashed using SHA-256. The resulting hash is then stored
in the event JSON in a ``hash`` object under a ``sha256`` key. Then all
non-essential keys are striped from the event object and the resulting object
non-essential keys are stripped from the event object, and the resulting object
which included the ``hash`` key is signed using the JSON signing algorithm.
Servers can then transmit the entire event or the event with the non-essential
keys removed. Recieving servers can then check the entire event if it is
present by computing the SHA-256 of the event excluding the ``hash`` object or
by using the ``hash`` object including in the event if keys have been redacted.
keys removed. Receiving servers can then check the entire event if it is
present by computing the SHA-256 of the event excluding the ``hash`` object, or
by using the ``hash`` object included in the event if keys have been redacted.
New hash functions can be introduced by adding additional keys to the ``hash``
object. Since the ``hash`` object cannot be redacted a server shouldn't allow
