The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit refactors how the Trezor hardware wallet talks to its built-in Infineon OPTIGA security chip. It splits the old 'init/deinit' routines into smaller steps (power up/down, open/close channel) and adds new suspend/resume logic. The goal appears to be reducing wear on the OPTIGA chip by avoiding full power cycles when the chip's internal security-event counter (SEC) is high. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes a known exploitable vulnerability, but it changes sensitive secure-element lifecycle code and introduces new secure-monitor call interfaces that could affect device security if misused.

Recommended action

Treat as a security-relevant hardening/refactor rather than a confirmed vulnerability fix. Review the new SMCALL interfaces for authorization and state-machine correctness, verify that optiga_resume() cannot leave the OPTIGA powered up unexpectedly, and ensure the RTC-scheduled power-down callback cannot be abused to corrupt secure-element state. If this commit is part of a release, request a security note from the vendor clarifying whether it addresses any disclosed or internally found issue.

Security signals we found

01

Refactor of secure-element initialization and lifecycle code

02

Addition of new secure-monitor calls exposing optiga_close_channel, optiga_power_down, and optiga_init_and_configure to non-secure world

03

Introduction of delayed power-down logic tied to OPTIGA security event counter (SEC) throttling

04

New constant OPTIGA_T_MAX_MS (5000 ms) representing maximum throttling delay

05

Removal of optiga_config.c and creation of optiga_init.c with expanded API surface

06

Changes affect all Trezor model build configurations using OPTIGA
