mrwulf f544b64e95 THE SIGNATURE APEX on the risc0 fork: verify_accepts_iff, button-enforced
Replicates dalek's apex with this fork's sha2-0.10 adaptation: the hash
oracle is the single monomorphic sha512_hash3(R, A, m) call (no foreign
types in its signature — the 0.10 Sha512 alias cannot be declared opaque),
and extraction runs --no-default-features so the error path avoids boxed
dyn-Error.

- gen/CurveSig: the extracted verify glue, definitionally welded to the
  proven model (TypesExternal/FunsExternal import CurveField; every curve
  and scalar call is a certified definition).
- Proofs/SigApexSpec.lean (unchanged from dalek): verify_loop_full (the
  32-byte comparison = array equality; axiom cone exactly the standard
  three) and verify_accepts_iff — accept IFF compress([s]B - [k]A) = R
  byte-for-byte, SHA-512 opaque.
- check.sh Phase 3b: the apex axiom cone is enforced to be EXACTLY
  [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound, ed25519.Signature,
   verifying.sha512_hash3, ed25519.Signature.to_bytes,
   signature.error.Error, signature.error.Error.new]
  - zero curve, scalar, or backend axioms.

Full check.sh green: 17 standard certificates + the apex audit.

risc0-ed25519-verified

Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in risc0/curve25519-dalek (RISC Zero fork, v4.1.3), 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: risc0/curve25519-dalek, commit 385adda
  • Pinned/patched source: saymrwulf/risc0-curve25519-dalek-source, commit 2643444
  • Patches: minimal Aeneas-compatibility only (documented in the source repo)
  • Scope caveat: this verifies the fork's pure-Rust serial/u64 path. The RISC Zero zkVM accelerator/syscall path is different code and is NOT covered by these proofs.

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).
