mrwulf 49859bf82f Hash-to-scalar PROVEN: from_bytes_wide_spec - Scalar::from_hash's reduction is exact mod l
The apex brick of the scalar layer: for any 64 bytes (the opaque SHA-512
digest), [from_bytes_wide bytes] = (LE 512-bit value) mod l, with
canonical 52-bit-bounded output. Composition: bytes_unpack_spec (8x8
loops) -> split_words_lo/hi_spec (exact div/mod per limb, disjoint ORs
as additions) -> wide_split_telescope (isolated omega) -> montgomery_mul
by R and RR (R cancels as a unit, RR restores it) -> the canonical add.

The two kernel-capacity walls found and crossed en route (control repo
FAILURES.md updated):
- a montgomery_mul inside any walk motive replays its 400-line body at
  every kernel step (fix: named prefix functions in the pinned source);
- straight-line IndexMut closure chains make kernel defeq exponential in
  depth (fix: struct-literal construction - the split halves now build
  Scalar52([...]) directly). Full certificate: 77 s kernel-inclusive.

Regenerated gen (sources factor from_bytes_wide -> from_bytes_wide_parts
-> split_words_lo/hi; documented pure refactors, cargo-checked).
check-scalar.sh: 13 proof files, 13 kernel audits, all exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]. Button pressed fresh: green.

anza-ed25519-verified

Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in anza-xyz/cryptography (Solana, solana-ed25519 crate), built as a coherent proof pyramid in Lean 4 via the Charon/Aeneas transpilation pipeline:

        ┌──────────────────────────────┐
        │  Signature (EdDSA verify)    │   accepted ⇒ [8][S]B = [8]R + [8][k]A
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Scalar arithmetic mod      │   Scalar52 ops correct mod 
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Group law (twisted Edwards) │   point ops = complete addition law
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Field 𝔽_p, p = 2²⁵⁵  19    │   FieldElement51 ops correct mod p
        └──────────────────────────────┘

Every layer states its theorems about the actual Aeneas-transpiled Rust code (never about a hand-written re-model), and every claim in the status table below is backed by a compiled proof plus an axiom audit of the named certificate. Files that do not compile under verification/check.sh are not in this repository.

Layer status

Layer Certificate Status Axioms of certificate
Field 𝔽_p fieldImplementation proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]
Group law (Edwards) edwardsImplementation proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]
Scalar mod scalarImplementation (add sub mul ) proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]
Signature (EdDSA) verifyEquation (planned) planned

Status legend: proven & axiom-audited · in progress · not started. This table is updated only when verification/check.sh passes for the layer.

Source

  • Upstream: anza-xyz/cryptography, commit 0a54cca
  • Pinned/patched source: saymrwulf/anza-cryptography-source, commit 77043ab
  • Patches: minimal Aeneas-compatibility only (documented in the source repo)
  • Closest relative of the reference solution (same crate layout as solana-ed25519).

Toolchain (pinned)

Component Version
Aeneas bf13c42e
Charon 9dd7f23c
Lean v4.30.0-rc2
OCaml 5.3.0

Reproducing

source ~/aeneas-toolchain/env.sh
cd verification
./extract.sh    # Rust → LLBC → Lean (regenerates gen/)
./check.sh      # compiles EVERY shipped file + axiom-audits EVERY certificate

The scalar layer has its own pair of buttons:

./extract-scalar.sh   # regenerates gen/CurveScalar (Scalar52 limb arithmetic)
./check-scalar.sh     # compiles the scalar gen + the proven scalar foundation
