mrwulf 5faaa3226a Scalar layer complete: Montgomery reduction + full mul proven, scalarImplementation aggregate
Phase B - montgomery_reduce (Proofs/ScalarMontSpec.lean + Proofs/ScalarReduceSpec.lean):
- mont_key: LFACTOR*L0 + 1 = 214835089243030*2^52 (the -1 inverse identity, norm_num)
- mont_cancel: (s + ((s*LFACTOR) % 2^52)*L0) % 2^52 = 0 via Nat.ModEq - every
  part1 shift is an EXACT division, nothing discarded
- part1_spec / part2_spec: per-round helpers (carry*2^52 = sum + p*L0; exact split)
- mont_head_telescope (E0-E4) and mont_tail_telescope (E5-E8): linear_combination
  certificates with weights 2^52k; mont_bound: X' < 2*ell from Z < 2^260*ell
- montgomery_reduce_spec: post `scDenote r * 2^260 = Z` in ZMod ell + 52-bit bounds.
  METHOD-4 split at the round-4/5 boundary: the 74-step monolith is
  elaboration-pathological; each half compiles in ~25s/3GB.
- The single death-spiral line: an omega for the nonce-sum bound with ~110
  hypotheses in context never returns; extracted to nonce_sum_bound (5 hypotheses,
  instant). Bisected with fail-probes; documented in control-repo FAILURES.md.

Phase C - mul (Proofs/ScalarFullMulSpec.lean):
- RR_limbs/RR_scVal/RR_lt; RR_denote: RR = 2^520 - K*ell kernel-checked, so
  ⟦RR⟧ = R^2; R_isUnit: 2^260 unit of ZMod ell (coprime oddness witness)
- mul_spec: mul_internal -> montgomery_reduce -> mul_internal(*, RR) ->
  montgomery_reduce composed; column values folded by `ring`; R cancelled via
  IsUnit.mul_right_cancel. Hypothesis scVal a * scVal b < 2^260*ell (honest
  Montgomery bound; canonical inputs satisfy it).

Aggregate (Proofs/ScalarMain.lean): scalar_add/sub/mul_correct on ScBnd
interfaces + canonical_mul_bound + scalarImplementation bundling all three.

sub_val_spec/add_val_spec posts strengthened with result-limb 52-bit bounds
(the montgomery tail feeds sub's output back into mul_internal).

check-scalar.sh: 9 proof files, 10 kernel audits (was 6), all exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]. Button pressed fresh: 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.

Layer status

Layer Certificate Status Axioms of certificate

Group law (Edwards) edwardsImplementation proven [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]

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

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 + all scalar proofs (add, sub,
                      # Montgomery mul) and kernel-audits 10 certificates,
                      # including the scalarImplementation aggregate

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.
