9. Alice's device receives the `m.key.verification.check_own_key` message,

not.

The QR codes to be displayed and scanned using this format will encode URLs of

the form:

`https://matrix.to/#/<user-id>?device=<device-id>&action=verify&key_<keyid>=<key-in-base64>...`

### Cancellation
|

|
|

|
In addition to the cancellation codes specified in MSC1717, the following
|
||||||
|
cancellation codes may be used:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- `m.qr_code.invalid`: The QR code is invalid (e.g. it is not a URL of the
|
||||||
|
required form)
|
||||||
|
- `m.invalid_signature`: The signature of the
|
||||||
|
`m.key.verification.check_own_key` message was incorrect.
