The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds Rust wrappers around existing low-level cryptographic functions in the Trezor firmware so they can be used by a new feature called THP. It does not appear to fix a known bug or vulnerability. The changes are mostly a refactor: they expose AES-GCM, Curve25519, HMAC-SHA256, SHA-512, CRC32, and a random-byte helper to Rust code, and add unit tests. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this resolves a security issue, but any new crypto binding introduces a small chance of misuse or memory-safety mistakes.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine refactor. Review the unsafe Memory<T>::inner() and Pin usage for soundness, verify that zeroize covers all sensitive C context fields, and ensure AES-GCM tag verification is enforced by callers. Monitor follow-up THP commits that consume these bindings to confirm they are used securely.

Security signals we found

01

New unsafe FFI bindings to cryptographic primitives (AES-GCM, Curve25519, HMAC-SHA256, SHA-512)

02

Generic Memory<T> helper uses MaybeUninit::zeroed().assume_init() and zeroize_flat_type on C structs

03

Pin-based API intended to prevent context structs from moving in memory

04

No changelog entry; commit is labeled refactor for THP

05

Adds unit tests with known test vectors, suggesting correctness validation rather than vulnerability fix
