Nov 1, 2024

Month: 2024-11. Focused on aligning documentation with the PSA Crypto policy (MBEDTLS_USE_PSA_CRYPTO always enabled) and reducing documentation debt across two repositories. Delivered comprehensive documentation cleanup and migration in the Mbed TLS framework, removing outdated references to the compile-time option across config, SSL, X.509, crypto, and PSA migration docs, plus related guidance (use-psa-crypto, md-cipher-dispatch, testing guides). Updated driver-build guidance to reflect the same policy. No code changes were required, but these updates standardize expectations, reduce misconfigurations, and enable faster onboarding for developers and users. The efforts align with the product direction to simplify PSA Crypto usage and improve maintainability across the ecosystem.
