Commit fd2d9d0d54cae71bea16a4339309389812869b57 (style(core): make style consistent). - Secure Channel Handshake Enhancement: introduced multi-key HSM support by enabling noise_handle_handshake_response_multiple_keys and updating secure_channel_handshake_2 to iterate over a list of public keys, enabling connections with diverse HSM configurations. Commit 58245dd51d05c3f11ce5b47b58f95d0fd5b2701a (feat(core/prodtest): set HSM public keys). Major bugs fixed: - No critical defects identified or fixed this month. Efforts focused on quality, consistency, and extensibility improvements without altering functional behavior. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved maintainability and readability of core dispatchers, reducing technical debt and making future contributions easier. - Enabled broader interoperability with heterogeneous HSM configurations, paving the way for easier scaling and deployment in diverse environments. - Reduced risk by avoiding functional changes while cleaning up code and hardening the secure channel interaction surface. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - C/C++ code quality, static style conformance, and refactoring discipline. - Secure channel protocol improvements and multi-key HSM support design. - Integration with handshake flow changes and HSM key provisioning in production test scaffolding. - Attention to risk management by isolating changes to non-functional areas (no ECC signing logic touched).

Nov 1, 20242024-11 monthly summary for trezor/trezor-firmware focused on delivering robust multisig capabilities, determinism, and safer path handling, with significant cross-language binding and test enhancements. Key features delivered include MultisigPubkeyOrder and core sortedmulti support with legacy handling, Python bindings, and user-facing display; deterministic pubkey sorting across core, Python, and Rust; and removal of deprecated core paths. Major bugs fixed include fully deterministic pubkey sorting and safety enhancements in legacy code to prevent invalid state transitions (forbidding multisig-to-singlesig outputs) and per-node path usage issues. Overall impact includes safer multisig workflows, more predictable behavior, and a stronger foundation for future features, with reduced risk of invalid states in complex multisig configurations. Accomplishments also cover quality and maintainability improvements: expanded test coverage for sortedmulti, ChangeDetector refactor and tests, device test refactors, autogenerated bindings across core/python/rust, and code style/linting improvements. Technologies/skills demonstrated include C++, Rust, Python bindings, unit testing, cross-language integration, Protobuf documentation, UNIX-specific refactors, and comprehensive linting and formatting processes.
