The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a brand-new Rust implementation of the Trezor Host Protocol (THP), a low-level transport layer that handles packet headers, fragmentation/reassembly, checksums, sequence/ack bits, and basic message types such as ping/pong, acknowledgments, and handshakes. It is a feature commit with no changelog entry and no accompanying security disclosure. The code is purely a new library plus tests/example; it does not patch any reported vulnerability.

Recommended action

No immediate security action required. Treat as normal feature code: review the new parser for robustness, ensure fuzzing covers malformed headers/fragment sequences, and verify that future commits wire this transport into higher-level code with appropriate authentication/encryption. The example ping-emulator uses localhost UDP only.

Security signals we found

01

New network-facing transport protocol parser/serializer added

02

Bounds checks present for payload_len (<= 60000) and channel_id (<= 0xFFEF or broadcast)

03

CRC32 verification included in reassembly path

04

Role-based parsing rejects directionally invalid messages (Host vs Device)

05

No unsafe code; #![forbid(unsafe_code)]

06

No changelog entry and no vendor security disclosure
