button-enforced (phase-2 goal reached on dalek)
CurveFieldProofs.verify_accepts_iff_point_eq: under the half-lift's
hypotheses, for ANY valid on-curve point Q whose canonical encoding is
the signature's R bytes,
verifier accepts <=> Q = [k]*(-A) + [s]*B (as denoted points)
- the literal point-level EdDSA verification equation, no decompress
needed: the canonical encoding is INJECTIVE on curve points.
Proofs/PointEqSpec.lean:
- one_add_d_y_sq_ne_zero: 1 + d*y^2 never vanishes - d nonsquare
(edD_not_square, the completeness ingredient doing its second job)
vs -1 a square (p = 1 mod 4).
- x_sq_of_onCurve + enc_inj_coord: the curve equation determines x^2
from y; +/-x have different parities mod an odd prime unless x = 0,
so y-residue + parity bit determine the point.
- enc_point_inj (standard three axioms): equal canonical encodings of
valid on-curve points force equal denoted points.
- verify_accepts_iff_point_eq: half-lift + injectivity. Axiom cone
EXACTLY the apex boundary; Phase 3b now enforces all THREE tiers
(byte apex, half-lift, point equation).
Remaining phase-2 garnish: the constructive decompress specs (sqrt
chain), giving "the accepted bytes decompress to the recomputed point".
Full button green fresh.

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 ⇔ compress([s]B−[k]A) = R
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Scalar arithmetic mod ℓ │ Scalar52 ops correct mod ℓ
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ 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

| Signature (EdDSA) | verify_accepts_iff |
✅ proven (phase 1) | standard three + the button-enforced SHA-512/wire-format boundary — see The signature apex |
Status legend: ✅ proven & axiom-audited · ⏳ in progress · ❌ not started.
This table is updated only when verification/check.sh passes for the layer.
The signature apex (phase 1)
The apex certificate CurveFieldProofs.verify_accepts_iff is the literal EdDSA
acceptance criterion, proven about the extracted verifier:
For a signature that parses, the verifier returns
Ok(())iff the recomputed compressed pointcompress([s]·B − [k]·A)equals the signature'sR, byte-for-byte — wherekis whatever scalar the opaque SHA-512 oracle produces from(R, A, msg).
The recomputation runs entirely through the proven model: the vendored ed25519-dalek verify glue is extracted as gen/CurveSig, whose
hand-maintained externals import gen/CurveField — every curve and scalar call
resolves by fully-qualified name to a proven definition. Only SHA-512 (three
stateful wrapper calls) and the wire-format types stay opaque.
check.sh has a dedicated audit phase (Phase 3b) that fails the build unless
the apex certificate's axiom cone is exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound] + {ed25519.Signature, sha2.Sha512, verifying.sha512_new, verifying.sha512_update, verifying.sha512_finalize_bytes, ed25519.Signature.to_bytes, signature.error.Error, signature.error.Error.new}
— i.e. the three Lean foundations plus the documented SHA-512/wire-format
boundary. Zero curve, scalar, or backend axioms. The companion certificate
verify_loop_full (the 32-byte comparison loop computes array equality)
carries the standard three axioms only.
Phase 2 (deferred, documented): lifting the byte-level equation to the
point level ([s]B − [k]A = decompress R) additionally needs compress
canonicity and a verified decompress; it is deliberately out of scope for
this milestone, mirroring the layer-by-layer phase split used below the apex.

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 gen model is ONE merged universe (gen/CurveField: field + curve +
scalar + the verify path's reachable code), regenerated in full by
extract.sh. The scalar layer keeps its own check button:
./check-scalar.sh # compiles the merged gen + all scalar proofs (add, sub,
# Montgomery mul, byte-parsing) and kernel-audits the
# scalar certificates, incl. the scalarImplementation
# aggregate
