mrwulf 6120f9bb17 Add scalar-layer foundation (Scalar52 arithmetic mod ℓ)
Transpile the Scalar52 limb backend (backend::serial::u64::scalar
add/sub/mul/square/montgomery_*) from Rust to Lean via Charon/Aeneas,
scoped at the function level to the iterator-free arithmetic core.

  - verification/extract-scalar.sh: function-level Charon/Aeneas extraction
  - verification/gen/CurveScalar/{Types,Funs}.lean: transpiled model (27 defs).
    This fork (v4.1.2) implements Scalar52::sub's constant-time conditional add
    with a pure arithmetic mask (constants::L[i] & underflow_mask), so the
    extraction pulls in NO external functions or types (unlike v5 dalek, which
    routes sub through subtle, and v4.1.3, which uses a local black_box).
  - verification/gen/CurveScalar/{TypesExternal,FunsExternal}.lean: decl-free
    stub modules kept so the check manifest is uniform across forks.
  - verification/Proofs/ScalarDenote.lean: semantic foundation — Scalar52
    denotation into ℤ/ℓℤ, limb-bound invariant, and L_val (the transpiled
    constants::L denotes exactly the group order ℓ, kernel-checked).
  - verification/check-scalar.sh: guarded compile of the gen modules plus the
    denotation foundation.

check-scalar.sh passes: gen compiles; denotation + L = ℓ proven.
add/sub/mul remain in progress.

betrusted-ed25519-verified

Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in betrusted-io/curve25519-dalek (Precursor/Xous fork, v4.1.2), 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.

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

Source

  • Upstream: betrusted-io/curve25519-dalek, commit 16e087a
  • Pinned/patched source: saymrwulf/betrusted-curve25519-dalek-source, commit 64ee8f0
  • Patches: minimal Aeneas-compatibility only (documented in the source repo)
  • Scope caveat: this verifies the fork's pure-Rust serial/u64 path. The Engine25519 hardware-accelerator path on Precursor is different code and is NOT covered by these proofs.

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
