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 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

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 ℓ	`scalarImplementation` (planned; `sub_val_spec` ✅, `L_val`, loop specs proven)	🔨 sub done · add/mul next	denotation + L=ℓ + FULL sub (⟦sub a b⟧=⟦a⟧−⟦b⟧ in ZMod ℓ) proven; add & Montgomery mul next
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: dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek, commit 4cf8db2
Pinned/patched source: saymrwulf/curve25519-dalek-source, commit 135ed70
Patches: minimal Aeneas-compatibility only (documented in the source repo)
Verified backend: backend/serial/u64 (FieldElement51, Scalar52). SIMD/AVX backends are out of scope (marked opaque).

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

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).
