The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit tightens Rust type signatures for functions that talk to the secure chip (Optiga). Instead of accepting arbitrary-length byte slices and then checking lengths at runtime, the functions now require fixed-size arrays. This is a defensive hardening change: it moves some length checks from runtime to compile time, reducing the chance of a length mismatch bug being exploited. There is no direct evidence in the commit that an exploitable vulnerability existed before this change.

Recommended action

Treat as a hardening/refactoring commit. Review that all callers now pass correctly sized arrays and that no remaining slice-based callers bypass the new fixed-size constraints. No urgent security response is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

Type narrowing from slices to fixed-size arrays in cryptographic/secure-chip interfaces

02

Removal of runtime length-validation branches

03

Compile-time enforcement of buffer sizes for HMAC, CMAC, and RNG outputs
