The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds the device-side implementation of a new secure communication layer (THP) for Trezor hardware wallets. It introduces code that handles encrypted channels, pairing handshakes, and legacy protocol fallback. The change is a feature addition rather than a documented security fix, and the diff itself does not show an exploitable vulnerability. However, it is a large, security-critical change to firmware that will protect future host-device communication.

Recommended action

Treat this as a high-risk feature commit requiring focused review of the Noise handshake state machine, key masking correctness, credential verification interface, and legacy v1 fallback behavior. Run the new test suite and perform a security audit of the device-side handshake before release. No immediate patch is indicated by the diff alone.

Security signals we found

01

New cryptographic handshake implementation (Noise_XX) on device side

02

Private key masking before Noise handshake using ephemeral key hash

03

Channel ID validation and broadcast/non-broadcast separation

04

Legacy codec v1 fallback response hardcoded as constant

05

Error classification changes: DeviceLocked no longer recoverable, continuation packets treated as malformed data

06

Dependency bump for trezor/noise-rust to revision 1bb08dfdfc11160b760b8d28c09677ed72fb1fff

07

Extensive new test coverage for packet loss, damage, replay, and channel-id wraparound
