The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit renames existing fields in a device-authentication proof message and adds optional fields for a second security chip (Tropic). It is a schema-only change across generated protobuf bindings; there is no new executable logic shown. By itself it does not create a vulnerability, but it changes the public API used to verify whether a Trezor device is genuine.

Recommended action

Review the companion firmware and host-side commits that consume these new fields to ensure the Tropic certificate chain is validated with the same rigor as the Optiga chain (path validation, root CA pinning, signature verification over the challenge, and downgrade/selection logic).

Security signals we found

01

Schema-only protobuf field rename and extension

02

Adds optional Tropic secure-element certificate chain and signature fields

03

Keeps Optiga fields required; Tropic fields are optional, preserving backward wire compatibility

04

No executable verification code, bounds checks, or cryptographic logic present in diff
