Code Review: CHANGES REQUESTED
This PR contains valuable security improvements but has critical issues that must be fixed before merging:
Critical Issues
1. Forbidden Co-Authored-By Line
The commit includes Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> which violates repository policy. Please remove this and rebase/amend the commit.
2. Fake SHA256 Hash in rust.mk
The mingw32 hash is clearly fabricated:
a8ccce2e0a36f47b5f8ac9df9c5b6b5d9e0d7c8a6e5f4b3a2c1d0e9f8a7b6c5d
This will fail Windows builds. Please fetch the correct hash from the Rust release page.
3. Hardcoded ARM64 Architecture in New Packages
brotli.mk and zstd.mk have:
-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64
This breaks x86_64 macOS builds. Use a conditional architecture variable or remove the hardcoding.
Design Suggestions
4. Consider Splitting the PR
ARM64 build support and security fixes are independent changes. Splitting them would allow:
- Easier review of each component
- Independent rollback if issues arise
- Cleaner commit history
5. Complete Testing
Test plan shows incomplete verification:
- Verify SSL downloads work correctly
- Test wallet encryption with new iteration count
- Confirm random RPC credentials are generated
What Looks Good
The security fixes themselves are well-designed:
- ✅ SSL verification enabled correctly (
VERIFYPEER=1,VERIFYHOST=2) - ✅ KDF iterations 200k aligns with OWASP
- ✅ Random RPC credential generation uses proper entropy (
std::random_device)
Please address the critical issues and I'm happy to re-review.

Summary
Security Fixes
Critical: SSL Certificate Verification
Enabled SSL verification for CURL downloads, preventing MITM attacks on blockchain snapshot and parameter downloads from Arweave.
High: Increased KDF Iterations
Increased wallet encryption iterations from 25,000 to 200,000 (OWASP recommendation) for better brute-force resistance.
Medium: Random RPC Credentials
Auto-generates random RPC credentials on first run instead of hardcoded
