- wo_hkdf_sha256_extract/expand (RFC 5869) + expand_label (RFC 8446 §7.1),
internal C over the existing hmac_sha256; SHA-256 (mandatory-suite hash;
SHA-384 a later add for the AES-256 suite)
- no builtin, no compiler change -- no .wo consumer yet (the TLS handshake
is the consumer); exposed for the C unit test
- KAT-gated in test_crypto: RFC 5869 Test Case 1 (PRK + 42-byte OKM) and
three HKDF-Expand-Label vectors (key/iv/derived-secret shape); 57/0,
ASan/UBSan clean; runtime battery green
- rv2 9 ladder: A (AEAD, = rv2 8) and B (HKDF) now done; next C X25519
(cherry picked from commit c8d27b6c89a80cd97a996ff7d8b64ff4895e4b26)
- no-intrinsics AES: S-box = GF(2^8) inverse via a fixed-exponent power ladder
(constant-time in the input, no tables), constant-time gf8_mul, byte-oriented
ShiftRows/MixColumns/key-expansion (AES-128 and AES-256)
- constant-time GHASH: bit-by-bit GF(2^128) multiply (mask-driven, no tables)
- aes_gcm_seal/open now dispatch: AES-NI path when present (and not forced
software), else this portable fallback -> AES-GCM works on ANY CPU, so the
phase-B no-AES-NI trap is retired
- wo_aes_force_software test hook; both hw and sw paths verified against NIST
SP 800-38D cases 4 (AES-128) and 16 (AES-256) byte-for-byte; test_crypto 48/0;
ASan/UBSan clean; full runtime battery green
- ARMv8 crypto-extension hardware path deferred (untestable on x86-64 host)
(cherry picked from commit dccf650899798401a9adac8489f34c85ed9304af)
