### Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. @acassis noticed this nice article on "Lightweight Cryptography" from NIST [1] mentioning Ascon-Based Lightweight Cryptography Standards for Constrained Devices (NIST Special Publication 800-232 [2]). It would be nice to have it in NuttX. But its not a trivial implementation, so probably we need to ask if MBED TLS project planning to implement ASCON features? [1] https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2025/08/nist-finalizes-lightweight-cryptography-standard-protect-small-devices [2] https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/232/final ### Describe the solution you'd like Mbed TLS would be best source for implementation of NIST / ASCON because: * this will be a world wide standard for embedded systems security. * MBED TLS is already well established and recognized security-for-embedded project. * it would be best to have one common single sourced implementation for ASCON from MBED TLS, which also assures proper security review, implementation, validation and updates. * we already have MBED TLS support in NuttX, as probably other RTOS do, so we could update to have those new features. ### Describe alternatives you've considered If MBED TLS does not plan to implement the ASCON we need to find alternative source projects, maybe NIST will provide the implementation? ### Verification - [x] I have verified before submitting the report. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
