The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds two new optional data fields to an existing device-authentication proof message used in Trezor hardware wallets. It extends the protocol definition and the matching generated code in Python, Rust, and the core firmware so that future firmware can include an MCU (microcontroller) certificate and signature alongside the already-present Optiga and Tropic proofs. The change is additive and does not by itself alter any verification logic, cryptographic checks, or access controls visible in the diff.

Recommended action

No immediate action required. Treat as a normal feature commit. If reviewing for security, inspect the companion firmware commits that populate and verify mcu_certificates/mcu_signature to ensure the MCU certificate chain is validated correctly and that accepting missing/empty MCU proof does not weaken authenticity guarantees.

Security signals we found

01
