license: replace Shift Apache headers

Replace the existing Shift Crypto/Shift Devices Apache-2.0 boilerplate header blocks with the standard SPDX License Identifier tag: "SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0".

This is better than the previous multi-line text header because it is machine-readable, unambiguous, and widely understood by tooling (scanners, compliance automation), while keeping files smaller and reducing header churn.

Commit message · Marko Bencun

py: fix fmt linter

Before a recent black update, black would, for each file it formatted,
apply the pyproject.toml related to it, e.g. py/pyproject.toml for all
files in py/, and not for files outside of py/. Since the black
update, if formatting files both inside and outside of py/, it would
ignore pyproject.toml, as it's not in the root.

We do a workaround by supplying configuring the linter to use
py/pyproject.toml for all files. Alternative would be to apply black
file-by-file, but that is much slower. Another alternative is to make
split it into two runs, but that was too much trouble. Moving
pyproject.toml from py/ to the root seemed wrong, as the root is not a
Py project.

This is a small internal cleanup in the BitBox02 firmware's on-screen text input component. A helper function that fetches BIP39 seed words was simplified so callers no longer check its return value; the helper itself now aborts on failure. There is no security vulnerability here—just a minor code-style refactor that keeps the same failure behavior.

This commit removes an old C source file called keystore.c and moves two small cryptographic helper functions directly into the Rust part of the project.

This commit updates the Rust compiler toolchain from an unspecified earlier version to Rust 1.92 for the BitBox02 hardware wallet firmware. It also refreshes many vendored third-party Rust libraries (such as libc, hashbrown, getopts) and build tools (cbindgen, bindgen). The stated reason is compatibility with the new toolchain, including a breaking change around panic handling. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known security vulnerability, but toolchain and dependency updates can affect security-relevant behavior such as memory safety, panic handling, and type definitions used in cryptographic code.

This commit adds unit tests for two cryptographic helper functions and slightly reorders their internal steps so the output buffer is only written after the HMAC calculation is complete.

This commit is a large internal refactoring of the BitBox02 firmware. It adds a new secure-chip key-derivation function (KDF) to the hardware abstraction layer (HAL) and threads that HAL through many existing functions so they can use it. The change touches 31 files and many tests, but it does not appear to introduce a new security vulnerability on its own. It is a structural change that prepares the code for using the secure chip's KDF more consistently.

Commit message · cedwies

hww: add change password workflow

Currently, changing the device password requires a full device reset
and restoration from a backup. This process is cumbersome and increases
the risk of user error or seed exposure during the restoration process.

This patch introduces a native "Change Password" workflow that allows
the user to rotate their device password without resetting the device.

The workflow:
1. Forces the user to re-enter the current password for security, even
if the device is already unlocked.
2. Prompts for the new password (entered twice).
3. Re-encrypts the stored seed and BIP39 entropy with the new password
using the Secure Chip for key stretching.

The implementation ensures that the wallet identity (Root Fingerprint
and BIP39 seed) is preserved, so the device remains paired and
functional with the same accounts (including passphrase) after the
password change.

This commit adds a new 'Change Password' feature to the BitBox02 hardware wallet. Instead of resetting the device and restoring from a backup, users can now change their device password directly. The wallet re-encrypts the stored seed with the new password while keeping the same accounts and identity. The change is a normal product feature, not a security fix, but it touches sensitive crypto code that protects the user's funds.

This commit is a routine refactoring that rewrites existing C unit tests in Rust. It does not change the actual firmware behavior or fix any security issue. One redundant test was removed, and several internal test-only helpers were added so the Rust tests can call the same underlying C memory functions.

This commit only adds a new automated test to the BitBox02 firmware. It checks that entering the wrong password repeatedly while the device is already locked correctly triggers the lockout mechanism and eventually wipes the seed. There is no change to production code, no new feature, and no fix to an existing bug.

This commit rewrites the BitBox02's startup orientation screen from C to Rust and introduces a new shared delay/timer subsystem. It is a refactoring change: the device still asks the user to pick screen orientation at boot, then waits 1.3 seconds before switching to the lock screen and enabling USB/Bluetooth. The rewrite changes how internal timers and product-version strings are handled, but it does not add or remove security features. There is no vendor statement that this fixes a security bug.

This commit rewrites two internal seed-handling functions from C to Rust as part of an ongoing porting effort. It moves where the encrypted wallet seed is stored and how it is decrypted, but keeps the same encryption design. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes or introduces a security bug; it is primarily a code-rewrite change.

keystore: port bip39 unlock/retain to Rust

retain_bip39_seed encrypted the seed, copy_bip39_seed decrypted
it. This is ported to a helper struct `RetainedEncryptedBuffer` that
does the same. The helper struct is made because the other
seed (_retained_seed_encrypted) does the exact same operation, just
with a different purpose string when hashing, so we can reuse that
later when porting retain_seed/copy_seed.

_is_unlocked_bip39 is not ported, as it is redundant and equivaent with
RETAINED_BIP39_SEED being Some().

This commit rewrites the code that keeps the BIP-39 seed temporarily encrypted in memory, moving it from C to Rust. It is a refactoring/porting change, not a fix for a known bug or attack. The same encryption approach is preserved, but the change touches sensitive seed-handling code, so it deserves careful review.

This commit is purely a code-style change. It tells the project's automatic formatter (clang-format) to indent preprocessor directives like #if, #include, and #error, and then applies that new rule across many source files. No program logic, security checks, or behavior were changed.

rust/hal: add Random to HAL

Will allow to input different implementations in bb02, future
bitboxes, unit tests, simulator, etc.

The two Taproot signature checks are adjusted, as they changed due to
using the new testing random numbers.

AI analysis · Informational 19/100

This commit is a routine code refactor, not a security fix. It moves the source of random numbers behind a new 'hardware abstraction layer' (HAL) interface so the same code can use a fake predictable random generator during automated tests and the real secure random generator on the actual BitBox02 device. The only production behavior change is that Taproot/Schnorr signing now fetches its auxiliary randomness through this new interface instead of calling the device's random function directly. The real-device implementation still uses the same secure random function as before, so security properties are unchanged.

This commit is a straightforward refactoring: it moves an existing anti-klepto protocol unit test from C to Rust. No production firmware code is changed, and no security vulnerability is introduced or fixed. The same cryptographic checks are still performed, just in a different test language.
