Comment 2 Karolina Surma 2023-11-29 13:53:46 UTC
Upstream says: "Some of our earliest chips like ESP32 revision < ECO3 had support for secure boot and flash encryption schemes based on AES ECB modes. Recently we have migrated to more standard algorithms like RSA-3072, ECDSA for secure boot (v2) and AES-XTS for flash encryption. In summary, the code you pointed is specific to some of our older chip revisions and their security features. We plan to continue supporting them in our tools.", hence closing.
