jeffro256 posts September-October 2024 Monero/Carrot dev update

jeffro2561 has posted the first progress report (M1/September-Otcober 2024)2 for their Monero/Carrot3 dev work CCS proposal4:

I spent a lot of time recently refactoring the design of the Carrot implementation to make it well documented and clear, as well as highly reusable. I also spent a lot of time removing dependencies so that it’s ready to be quickly parsed by future implementation auditors. [..] There are a number of things still left to work on, most notably hardware device support, the rest of which can be found in the PR task list.

Work overview

  • WIP Branches: carrot5
  • PR #9505: crypto: remove unused OAES code
  • PR #9508: crypto: portable AES key expansion without allocations
  • PR #9556: ringct: add operator!= for key
  • PR #9558: p2p: allow comments in banlist files
  • PR #9559: [WIP] carrot_core [..]

The dev is planning to work on hardware device interfaces and an enote store next.
