saymrwulf 3cd7a17ab2 scalar layer: mul_internal proven — Montgomery frontier phase A down
Proofs/ScalarMulSpec.lean (axiom-clean, no sorry):
- m_spec: the widening 52x52->104-bit product helper — total, exact
- mul_internal_spec: all NINE schoolbook column sums proven exact
  (z_k = sum_{i+j=k} a_i*b_j) and bounded (each product < 2^104, each
  column < 2^107) through the 60-step straight-line extraction

This is the half of Scalar52::mul that the kernel-capacity frontier does
NOT touch. Phase B — montgomery_reduce (74 steps, part1/part2, the
Montgomery invariant result = input * R^{-1} mod l with R = 2^260, and
the double-round composition through RR) — remains the open frontier,
now precisely one function wide.

check-scalar.sh: ScalarMulSpec in manifest + audit (6/6 clean), green.

dalek-ed25519-verified

Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek (upstream, v5.0.0-rc.1), 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.

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

Trusted base

See TRUSTED-BASE.md for the complete list of assumptions (Lean kernel, mathlib, Charon/Aeneas semantics, external-function models, and — in the signature layer only — an opaque SHA-512 model).

Provenance

Proof engineering in this repository builds on the verification methodology and proof architecture of PlanetMacro/ed25519-verificationtest (the reference solution). All proofs here are checked against this fork's own extracted code; nothing is claimed that the check script does not compile.
