GitHub Actions now emits "Node.js 20 actions are deprecated" warnings:
actions are forced to Node.js 24 by default starting 2026-06-16, and
Node.js 20 is removed from the runners on 2026-09-16. Update every
JavaScript action referenced by the workflows and the local composite
actions to the lowest release that runs on Node.js 24:
actions/checkout v4 -> v5
actions/checkout (SHA pin) v4.1.7 -> v5
actions/upload-artifact v4 -> v6 (v5 still Node.js 20)
actions/download-artifact v4 -> v7 (v5/v6 still Node.js 20)
actions/cache[/restore|/save] v4 -> v5
actions/setup-python v5 -> v6
actions/github-script v7 -> v8
docker/setup-buildx-action v3 -> v4
docker/build-push-action v5 -> v7 (v6 still Node.js 20)
docker/login-action v3 -> v4
microsoft/setup-msbuild v2 -> v3
open-watcom/setup-watcom v0 -> v1
Actions already running on Node.js 24 (jwlawson/actions-setup-cmake,
shogo82148/actions-setup-perl, msys2/setup-msys2, dorny/paths-filter)
are left unchanged. These bumps are runtime-only; no workflow uses an
input or output removed by the new majors, and v4-format artifacts
remain compatible across the upload v6 / download v7 backends.
Add SRAM PUF (Physically Unclonable Function) support to wolfCrypt. Derives device-unique cryptographic keys from the power-on state of SRAM memory using a BCH(127,64,t=10) fuzzy extractor with HKDF key derivation.
- **wolfCrypt PUF API** (`wolfcrypt/src/puf.c`, `wolfssl/wolfcrypt/puf.h`)
- `wc_PufInit`, `wc_PufReadSram`, `wc_PufEnroll`, `wc_PufReconstruct`
- `wc_PufDeriveKey` (HKDF-SHA256), `wc_PufGetIdentity` (SHA-256 device fingerprint)
- `wc_PufZeroize` (secure context cleanup)
- `wc_PufSetTestData` (synthetic SRAM for testing without hardware)
- **BCH(127,64,t=10) error-correcting codec** - corrects up to 10 bit flips per 127-bit codeword across 16 codewords
- **`WC_PUF_SHA3` build option** - select SHA3-256 instead of SHA-256 for identity hash and HKDF (default: SHA-256)
- **Precomputed GF(2^7) tables** - `const` arrays in `.rodata` (no runtime init, thread-safe, flash-resident on embedded)
- `./configure --enable-puf` (auto-enables HKDF dependency)
- CMake: `WOLFSSL_PUF=yes`
- `WOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS`: define `WOLFSSL_PUF` and `WOLFSSL_PUF_SRAM`
- See wolfssl-examples/puf for example implementation on STM32 NUCLEO-H563ZI (Cortex-M33, STM32H563ZI)
- Supports test mode (synthetic SRAM)
- Builds to ~13KB `.elf`
- Tested on NUCLEO-H563ZI: enrollment, noisy reconstruction, key derivation all pass
- `.github/workflows/puf.yml`: host build + test workflow for PUF feature
- Doxygen API docs for all 8 public functions
- PUF group added to `doxygen_groups.h`
