The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit updates the Trezor Python library's device-authentication code to support a new hardware security chip (Tropic) in addition to the existing Optiga chip. It adds Ed25519 signature verification, new root public keys for the T3W1 device, and a check that both chips' certificate chains are issued by the same root authority. The change is a feature addition rather than a fix for a known vulnerability, but it strengthens the authentication process by making it harder for a device with a valid certificate from one root to pass authentication using a mismatched certificate from another root.

Recommended action

No immediate action required; this is a defensive feature. Users and integrators relying on device authentication should update to a version containing this commit and ensure they validate both Optiga and Tropic proof paths when present. Review whether the new root keys and cross-check logic are correctly integrated with firmware releases for T3W1.

Security signals we found

01

Adds cross-check that Optiga and Tropic certificate chains resolve to the same root authority

02

Adds Ed25519 signature and certificate verification support

03

Adds new T3W1 root public keys (production, backup, staging, debug)

04

Renames CLI option from generic `--root` to key-type-specific `--p256_root` and `--ed25519_root`

05

Returns matched root certificate from verification to enable comparison
