The transformation and verification of the bus_sort_breadthfirst program, which belongs to the Linux OS kernel and implements sorting of devices are described. The C program is transformed into the cP language performing macros unfolding, structure changes, and elimination of pointers. Transformed program is translated into the WhyML functional language. For the received program, a specification is constructed. Deductive verification is carried out in the tool Why3.

The program transformation methods to simplify the deductive verification of programs with recursive data types are investigated. The list reversion program is considered as an example. A source program in the C language is translated to the cP functional language which includes no pointers. The resulting program is translated further to the WhyML language to perform deductive verification of the program. The cP language includes the same constructs of the C language except pointers. In the C program, all actions that include pointers are replaced by the equivalent fragments without pointers. These replacement are performed by the special transformations using the results of the program dataflow analysis. Three variants of deductive verification of the transformed list reverse program in the Why3 verification platform with SMT solvers (Z3 4.8.6, CVC3 2.4.1, CVC4 1.7) are performed. First, the recursive WhyML program supplied with specifications was automatically verified successfully using only SMT solvers. Second, the recursive program was translated to the P predicate language. Correctness formulae were constructed for the P program and translated further to the why3 specification language. The formulae proving correctness were easy like the first variant. But correctness formulae for the first and second variants were different. Third, the "imperative" WhyML program that included while loop with additional invariant specifications was verified. The proving was easy but not automatic. So, for deductive verification, recursive program variant appears to be more preferable against imperative program variant.

Type systems and modern type checkers can be used very successfully to obtain formal correctness guarantees with little specification overhead. However, type systems in practical scenarios have to trade precision for decidability and scalability. Tools for deductive verification, on the other hand, can prove general properties in more cases than a typical type checker can, but they do not scale well. We present a method to complement the scalability of expressive type systems with the precision of deductive program verification approaches. This is achieved by translating the type uses whose correctness the type checker cannot prove into assertions in a specification language, which can be dealt with by a deductive verification tool. Type uses whose correctness the type checker can prove are instead turned into assumptions to aid the verification tool in finding a proof.Our novel approach is introduced both conceptually for a simple imperative language, and practically by a concrete implementation for the Java programming language. The usefulness and power of our approach has been evaluated by discharging known false positives from a real-world program and by a small case study.

Automated deductive program synthesis promises to generate executable programs from concise specifications, along with proofs of correctness that can be independently verified using third-party tools. However, an attempt to exercise this promise using existing proof-certification frameworks reveals significant discrepancies in how proof derivations are structured for two different purposes: program synthesis and program verification. These discrepancies make it difficult to use certified verifiers to validate synthesis results, forcing one to write an ad-hoc translation procedure from synthesis proofs to correctness proofs for each verification backend. In this work, we address this challenge in the context of the synthesis and verification of heap-manipulating programs. We present a technique for principled translation of deductive synthesis derivations (a.k.a. source proofs) into deductive target proofs about the synthesised programs in the logics of interactive program verifiers. We showcase our technique by implementing three different certifiers for programs generated via SuSLik, a Separation Logic-based tool for automated synthesis of programs with pointers, in foundational verification frameworks embedded in Coq: Hoare Type Theory (HTT), Iris, and Verified Software Toolchain (VST), producing concise and efficient machine-checkable proofs for characteristic synthesis benchmarks.

Intermediate verification languages like Why3 and Boogie have made it much easier to build program verifiers, transforming the process into a logic compilation problem rather than a proof automation one. Why3 in particular implements a rich logic for program specification with polymorphism, algebraic data types, recursive functions and predicates, and inductive predicates; it translates this logic to over a dozen solvers and proof assistants. Accordingly, it serves as a backend for many tools, including Frama-C, EasyCrypt, and GNATProve for Ada SPARK. But how can we be sure that these tools are correct? The alternate foundational approach, taken by tools like VST and CakeML, provides strong guarantees by implementing the entire toolchain in a proof assistant, but these tools are harder to build and cannot directly take advantage of SMT solver automation. As a first step toward enabling automated tools with similar foundational guarantees, we give a formal semantics in Coq for the logic fragment of Why3. We show that our semantics are useful by giving a correct-by-construction natural deduction proof system for this logic, using this proof system to verify parts of Why3's standard library, and proving sound two of Why3's transformations used to convert terms and formulas into the simpler logics supported by the backend solvers.

The paper presents techniques to specification access control model of OS Astra Linux Special Edition (the MROSL DP-model) in the formalized notation (formalized using the Event-B formal method), that are based on the use of several global types, separation of general total functions into specific total functions, reduction in the number of invariants and guard of events, which iterate over subsets of a certain set. The result of using these techniques was the simplification of automated deductive verification of formalized notation using the Rodin tool and adaptation of the model to verification by model checking formalized notation using the ProB tool. These techniques can be useful in development of the MROSL DP-model, and also in development of other access control models and verification using appropriate tools.

First-order logic, and quantifiers in particular, are widely used in deductive verification of programs and systems. Quantifiers are essential for describing systems with unbounded domains, but prove difficult for automated solvers. Significant effort has been dedicated to finding quantifier instantiations that establish unsatisfiability of quantified formulas, thus ensuring validity of a system’s verification conditions. However, in many cases the formulas are satisfiable—this is often the case in intermediate steps of the verification process, e.g., when an invariant is not yet inductive. For such cases, existing tools are limited to finding finite models as counterexamples. Yet, some quantified formulas are satisfiable but only have infinite models, which current solvers are unable to find. Such infinite counter-models are especially typical when first-order logic is used to approximate the natural numbers, the integers, or other inductive definitions such as linked lists, which is common in deductive verification. The inability of solvers to find infinite models makes them diverge in these cases, providing little feedback to the user as they try to make progress in their verification attempts. In this paper, we tackle the problem of finding such infinite models, specifically, finite representations thereof that can be presented to the user of a deductive verification tool. These models give insight into the verification failure, and allow the user to identify and fix bugs in the modeling of the system and its properties. Our approach consists of three parts. First, we introduce symbolic structures as a way to represent certain infinite models, and show they admit an efficient model checking procedure. Second, we describe an effective model finding procedure that symbolically explores a given (possibly infinite) family of symbolic structures in search of an infinite model for a given formula. Finally, we identify a new decidable fragment of first-order logic that extends and subsumes the many-sorted variant of EPR, where satisfiable formulas always have a model representable by a symbolic structure within a known family, making our model finding procedure a decision procedure for that fragment. We evaluate our approach on examples from the domains of distributed consensus protocols and of heap-manipulating programs (specifically, linked lists). Our implementation quickly finds infinite counter-models that demonstrate the source of verification failures in a simple way, while state-of-the-art SMT solvers and theorem provers such as Z3, cvc5, and Vampire diverge or return “unknown”.

It is shown that a specification in the Event-B language can be represented by an automata-based program as a non-deterministic composition of simple conditional statements, which corresponds to a narrow subclass of automata-based programs. A specification in Event-B is monolithic. To build a specification, there are no other means of composition, except for a refinement that implements an extension of a previously built specification. Comparison of automata-based engineering method and Event-B modeling method is carried out on two example tasks. Previous solutions to the bridge traffic control problem in the Event-B system are complicated. A simpler solution with deductive verification in the Rodin tool is proposed. The effectiveness of the Event-B verification methods is confirmed by finding three non-trivial errors in our solution.

Cette thèse se place dans le cadre des méthodes formelles et plus précisément dans celui de la vérification déductive et du système Why3. Ce dernier fournit un ensemble d'outils pour la spécification, l'implémentation et la vérification à l'aide de démonstrateurs externes. Why3 propose en particulier un langage de programmation adapté à la preuve, appelé WhyML. Un aspect important de ce langage est le code fantôme, à savoir des éléments de programme introduits exclusivement pour les besoins de la spécification et de la preuve. Pour obtenir un code exécutable, le code fantôme est éliminé par un processus automatique appelé extraction. L'une des contributions principales de cette thèse est la formalisation et l'implémentation du mécanisme d'extraction deWhy3. La formalisation consiste à montrer que le programme extrait préserve la sémantique du programme de départ, en s'appuyant notamment sur un système de types avec effets. Ce mécanisme d'extraction a été utilisé avec succès pour obtenir plusieurs modules OCaml corrects par construction, dans le cadre d'une bibliothèque vérifiée de structures de données et d'algorithmes. Cet effort de preuve a conduit à deux autres contributions de cette thèse.La première est une technique systématique pour la vérification de structures avec pointeurs, à l'aide de modèles du tas délimités.Une preuve entièrement automatique d'une structure union-find a pu être obtenue grâce à cette technique. La seconde contribution est un moyen de spécifier un algorithme d'itération indépendamment de son implémentation. Plusieurs curseurs et itérateurs d'ordre supérieur ont été spécifiés et vérifiés en utilisant cette approcheThis thesis is set in the field of formal methods, more precisely in the domain of deductive program verification. Our working context is the Why3 framework, a set of tools to implement, formally specify, and prove programs usingoff-the-shelf theorem provers. Why3 features a programming language,called WhyML, designed with verification in mind. An important feature of WhyML is ghost code: portions of the program that are introduced for the sole purpose of specification andverification. When it comes to get an executable implementation, ghost code is removed by an automatic process called extraction. One of the main contributions of this thesis is the formalization and implementation of Why3's extraction. The formalization consists in showing that the extracted program preserves the same operational behavior as the original source code, based on a type and effect system. The new extraction mechanism has been successfully used to get correct-by-construction OCaml modules, which are part of averified OCaml library of data structures and algorithms. This verification effort led to two other contributions of this thesis.The first is a systematic approach to the verification ofpointer-based data structures using ghost models of fragments of the heap. A fully automatic verification of a union-find data structure was achieved using this technique. The second contribution is a modular way to reason about iteration, independently of the underlying implementation. Several cursors and higher-orderiterators have been specified and verified with this approach

This thesis belongs to the domain of software verification. The goalof verifying software is to ensure that an implementation, a program,satisfies the requirements, the specification. This is especiallyimportant for critical computer programs, such as control systems forair planes, trains and power plants. Here a malfunctioning occurringduring operation would have catastrophic consequences. Software requirements can concern safety or functioning. Safetyrequirements, such as not accessing memory locations outside validbounds, are often implicit, in the sense that any implementation isexpected to be safe. On the other hand, functional requirementsspecify what the program is supposed to do. The specification of aprogram is often expressed informally by describing in English or someother natural language the mission of a part of the program code.Usually program verification is then done by manual code review,simulation and extensive testing. But this does not guarantee that allpossible execution cases are captured. Deductive program proving is a complete way to ensure soundness of theprogram. Here a program along with its specificationis a mathematical object and its desired properties are logicaltheorems to be formally proved. This way, if the underlying logicsystem is consistent, we can be absolutely sure that the provenproperty holds for the program in any case.Generation of verification conditions is a technique helpingthe programmer to prove the properties he wants about his programs.Here a VCG tool analyses a program and its formal specification andproduces a mathematical formula, whose validity implies the soundnessof the program with respect to its specification. This is particularlyinteresting when the generated formulas can be proved automatically byexternal SMT solvers.This approach is based on works of Hoare and Dijkstra and iswell-understood and shown correct in theory. Deductive verificationtools have nowadays reached a maturity allowing them to be used inindustrial context where a very high level of assurance isrequired. But implementations of this approach must deal with allkinds of language features and can therefore become quite complex andcontain errors -- in the worst case stating that a program correcteven if it is not. This raises the question of the level ofconfidence granted to these tools themselves. The aim of this thesis is to address this question. We develop, inthe Coq system, a certified verification-condition generator (VCG) forACSL-annotated C programs.Our first contribution is the formalisation of an executableVCG for the Whycert intermediate language,an imperative language with loops, exceptions and recursive functionsand its soundness proof with respect to the blocking big-step operational semantics of the language.A second contribution is the formalisation of the ACSL logicallanguage and the semantics of ACSL annotations of Compcert's Clight.From the compilation of ACSL annotated Clight programs to Whycertprograms and its semantics preservation proof combined with a Whycertaxiomatisation of the Compcert memory model results our maincontribution: an integrated certified tool chainfor verification of C~programs on top of Compcert. By combining oursoundness result with the soundness of the Compcert compiler we obtaina Coq theorem relating the validity of the generated proof obligationswith the safety of the compiled assembly code.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse se place dans le contexte de la vérification déductive des programmes et a pour objectif de formaliser un certain nombre de concepts qui sont mis en œuvre dans l'outil de vérification Why3.L'idée générale est d'explorer des solutions qu'une approche à base de systèmes de types peut apporter à la vérification. Nous commençons par nous intéresser à la notion du code fantôme, une technique implantée dans de nombreux outils de vérification modernes, qui consiste à donner à des éléments de la spécification les apparences d'un code opérationnel. L'utilisation correcte du code fantôme requiert maintes précautions puisqu'il ne doit jamais interférer avec le reste du code. Le premier chapitre est consacré à une formalisation du code fantôme, en illustrant comment un système de types avec effets en permet une utilisation à la fois correcte et expressive. Puis nous nous intéressons à la vérification des programmes manipulant des pointeurs. En présence d'aliasing, c'est-à-dire lorsque plusieurs pointeurs manipulés dans un programme dénotent une même case mémoire, la spécification et la vérification deviennent non triviales. Plutôt que de nous diriger vers des approches existantes qui abordent le problème d'aliasing dans toute sa complexité, mais sortent du cadre de la logique de Hoare, nous présentons un système de types avec effets et régions singletons qui permet d'effectuer un contrôle statique des alias avant même de générer les obligations de preuve. Bien que ce système de types nous limite à des pointeurs dont l'identité peut être connue statiquement, notre observation est qu'il convient à une grande majorité des programmes que l'on souhaite vérifier. Enfin, nous abordons les questions liées à la vérification de programmes conçus de façon modulaire. Concrètement, nous nous intéressons à une situation où il existe une barrière d'abstraction entre le code de l'utilisateur et celui des bibliothèques dont il dépend. Cela signifie que les bibliothèques fournissent à l'utilisateur une énumération de fonctions et de structures de données manipulées, sans révéler les détails de leur implémentation. Le code de l'utilisateur ne peut alors exploiter ces données qu'à travers un ensemble de fonctions fournies. Dans une telle situation, la vérification peut elle-même être modulaire. Du côté de l'utilisateur, la vérification ne doit alors s'appuyer que sur des invariants de type et des contrats de fonctions exposés par les bibliothèques. Du côté de ces dernières, la vérification doit garantir que la représentation concrète raffine correctement les entités exposées, c'est-à-dire en préservant les invariants de types et les contrats de fonctions. Dans le troisième chapitre nous explorons comment un système de types permettant le contrôle statique des alias peut être adapté à la vérification modulaire et le raffinement des structures de donnéesThis thesis is conducted in the framework of deductive software verification.is aims to formalize some concepts that are implemented in the verification tool Why3. The main idea is to explore solutions that a type system based approach can bring to deductive verification. First, we focus our attention on the notion of ghost code, a technique that is used in most of modern verification tools and which consists in giving to some parts of specification the appearance of operational code. Using ghost code correctly requires various precautions since the ghost code must never interfere with the operational code. The first chapter presents a type system with effects illustrating how ghost code can be used in a way which is both correct and expressive. The second chapter addresses some questions related to verification of programs with pointers in the presence of aliasing, i.e. when several pointers handled by a program denote a same memory cell. Rather than moving towards to approaches that address the problem in all its complexity to the costs of abandoning the framework of Hoare logic, we present a type system with effects and singleton regions which resolves a liasing issues by performing a static control of aliases even before the proof obligations are generated. Although our system is limited to pointers whose identity must be known statically, we observe that it fits for most of the code we want to verify. Finally, we focus our attention on a situation where there exists an abstraction barrier between the user's code and the one of the libraries which it depends on. That means that libraries provide the user a set of functions and of data structures, without revealing details of their implementation. When programs are developed in a such modular way, verification must be modular it self. It means that the verification of user's code must take into account only function contracts supplied by libraries while the verification of libraries must ensure that their implementations refine correctly the exposed entities. The third chapter extends the system presented in the previous chapter with these concepts of modularity and data refinement

Les algorithmes d'arithmétique entière en précision arbitraire sont utilisés dans des contextes où leur correction et leurs performances sont critiques, comme les logiciels de cryptographie ou de calcul formel. GMP est une bibliothèque d'arithmétique entière en précision arbitraire très utilisée. Elle propose des algorithmes de pointe, suffisamment complexes pour qu'il soit à la fois justifié et difficile de les vérifier formellement. Cette thèse traite de la vérification formelle de la correction fonctionnelle d'une partie significative de GMP à l'aide de la plateforme de vérification déductive Why3.Afin de rendre cette preuve possible, j'ai fait plusieurs ajouts à Why3 qui permettent la vérification de programmes C. Why3 propose un langage fonctionnel de programmation et de spécification appelé WhyML. J'ai développé des modèles de la gestion de la mémoire et des types du langage C. Ceci m'a permis de réimplanter des algorithmes de GMP en WhyML et de les vérifier formellement. J'ai aussi étendu le mécanisme d'extraction de Why3. Les programmes WhyML peuvent maintenant être compilés vers du C idiomatique, alors que le seul langage cible était OCaml auparavant. La compilation de mes programmes WhyML résulte en une bibliothèque C vérifiée appelée WhyMP. Elle implémente de nombreux algorithmes de pointe tirés de GMP en préservant presque toutes les astuces d'implémentation. WhyMP est compatible avec GMP, et est comparable à la version de GMP sans assembleur écrit à la main en termes de performances. Elle va bien au-delà des bibliothèques d'arithmétique en précision arbitraire vérifiées existantes. C'est sans doute le développement Why3 le plus ambitieux à ce jour en termes de longueur et d'effort de preuve. Afin d'augmenter le degré d'automatisation de mes preuves, j'ai ajouté à Why3 un mécanisme de preuves par réflexion. Il permet aux utilisateurs de Why3 d'écrire des procédures de décision dédiées, formellement vérifiées et qui utilisent pleinement les fonctionnalités impératives de WhyML. À l'aide de ce mécanisme, j'ai pu remplacer des centaines d'annotations manuelles de ma preuve de GMP par des preuves automatiquesArbitrary-precision integer arithmetic algorithms are used in contexts where both their performance and their correctness are critical, such as cryptographic software or computer algebra systems. GMP is a very widely-used arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic library. It features state-of-the-art algorithms that are intricate enough that their formal verification is both justified and difficult. This thesis tackles the formal verification of the functional correctness of a large fragment of GMP using the Why3 deductive verification platform.In order to make this verification possible, I have made several additions to Why3 that enable the verification of C programs. Why3 features a functional programming and specification language called WhyML. I have developed models of the memory management and datatypes of the C language, allowing me to reimplement GMP's algorithms in WhyML and formally verify them. I have also extended Why3's extraction mechanism so that WhyML programs can be compiled to idiomatic C code, where only OCaml used to be supported.The compilation of my WhyML algorithms results in a verified C library called WhyMP. It implements many state-of-the-art algorithms from GMP, with almost all of the optimization tricks preserved. WhyMP is compatible with GMP and performance-competitive with the assembly-free version. It goes far beyond existing verified arbitrary-precision arithmetic libraries, and is arguably the most ambitious existing Why3 development in terms of size and proof effort.In an attempt to increase the degree of automation of my proofs, I have also added to Why3 a framework for proofs by reflection. It enables Why3 users to easily write dedicated decision procedures that are formally verified programs and make full use of WhyML's imperative features. Using this new framework, I was able to replace hundreds of handwritten proof annotations in my GMP verification by automated proofs

AbstractDeductive verification tools can prove a large range of program properties, but often face issues on recursive data structures. Abstract interpretation tools based on separation logic and shape analysis can efficiently reason about such structures but cannot deal with so large classes of properties. This short paper presents an ongoing work on combining both techniques. We show how a deductive verifier for C programs, Frama-C/Wp, can benefit from a shape analysis tool, MemCAD, where structural and separation properties proved in the latter become assumptions for the former. A case study on selected functions of the tpm2-tss library using linked lists confirms the interest of the approach.

Abstract Verifying relations between programs arises as a task in various verification contexts such as optimizing transformations, relating new versions of programs with older versions (regression verification), and noninterference. However, relational verification for programs acting on dynamically allocated mutable state is not well supported by existing tools, which provide a high level of automation at the cost of restricting the programs considered. Auto-active tools, on the other hand, require more user interaction but enable verification of a broader class of programs. This article presents WhyRel, a tool for the auto-active verification of relational properties of pointer programs based on relational region logic. WhyRel is evaluated through verification case studies, relying on SMT solvers orchestrated by the Why3 platform on which it builds. Case studies include establishing representation independence of ADTs, showing noninterference, and challenge problems from recent literature.

AbstractThis paper presents a case study where a concurrent module of a tunnel control system written in Java is verified for memory safety and data race freedom using VerCors, a software verification tool. This case study was carried out in close collaboration with our industrial partner Technolution, which is in charge of developing the tunnel control software. First, we describe the process of preparing the code for verification, and how we make use of the different capabilities of VerCors to successfully verify the module. The concurrent module has gone through a rigorous process of design, code reviewing and unit and integration testing. Despite this careful approach, VerCors found two memory related bugs. We describe these bugs, and show how VerCors could have found them during the development process. Second, we wanted to communicate back our results and verification process to the engineers of Technolution. We discuss how we prepared our presentation, and the explanation we settled on. Third, we present interesting feedback points from this presentation. We use this feedback to determine future work directions with the goal to improve our tool support, and to bridge the gap between formal methods and industry.

AbstractOver the last years, deductive program verifiers have substantially improved, and their applicability on non-trivial applications has been demonstrated. However, a major bottleneck is that for every new programming language, a new deductive verifier has to be built.This paper describes the first steps in a project that aims to address this problem, by language-agnostic support for deductive verification: Rather than building a deductive program verifier for every programming language, we develop deductive program verification technology for a widely-used intermediate representation language (LLVM IR), such that we eventually get verification support for any language that can be compiled into the LLVM IR format.Concretely, this paper describes the design of VCLLVM, a prototype tool that adds LLVM IR as a supported language to the VerCors verifier. We discuss the challenges that have to be addressed to develop verification support for such a low-level language. Moreover, we also sketch how we envisage to build verification support for any specified source program that can be compiled into LLVM IR on top of VCLLVM.

AbstractModern deductive verification tools succeed in automatically proving the great majority of program annotations thanks in particular to constantly evolving SMT solvers they rely on. The remaining proof goals still require interactively created proof scripts. This tool demo paper presents a new solution for an automatic creation of proof scripts in /, a popular deductive verifier for C programs. The verification engineer defines a proof strategy describing several initial proof steps, from which proof scripts are automatically generated and applied. Our experiments on a large real-life industrial project confirm that the new proof strategy engine strongly facilitates the verification process by automating the creation of proof scripts, thus increasing the potential of industrial applications of deductive verification on large code bases.

AbstractThe HaliVer tool integrates deductive verification into the popular scheduling language Halide, used for image processing pipelines and array computations. HaliVer uses VerCors, a separation logic-based verifier, to verify the correctness of (1) the Halide algorithms and (2) the optimised parallel code produced by Halide when an optimisation schedule is applied to an algorithm. This allows proving complex, optimised code correct while reducing the effort to provide the required verification annotations. For both approaches, the same specification is used. We evaluated the tool on several optimised programs generated from characteristic Halide algorithms, using all but one of the essential scheduling directives available in Halide. Without annotation effort, HaliVer proves memory safety in almost all programs. With annotations HaliVer, additionally, proves functional correctness properties. We show that the approach is viable and reduces the manual annotation effort by an order of magnitude.

Механизм взаимного исключения традиционно применяется для защиты разделяемых структур данных в распределенных системах управления. Проведена дедуктивная верификация простого протокола взаимного исключения Маскарелла для произвольного числа процессов с дополнительным процессом-координатором. Верифицируются два основных свойства: два процесса не могут одновременно находиться в критической секции; любой процесс, пытающийся войти в критическую секцию, попадает в нее через конечное время. Доказательство свойств выполнено в системах верификации Why3 и Event-B. The mutual exclusion mechanism is traditionally used to protect shared data structures in distributed control systems. A deductive verification of Mascarell's simple mutual exclusion protocol for an arbitrary number of processes with an additional coordinator process is performed. Two main properties are verified: two processes cannot be in a critical section at the same time; any process trying to get into a critical section eventually gets into it. The proof of the properties is performed in the verification systems Why3 and Event-B.
