Mechanical Verification of a Garbage Collector
Abstract. We describe how the PVS verification system has been used to verify a safety property of a garbage collection algorithm, originally suggested by Ben-Ari. The safety prope...

Automating Refinement Checking in Probabilistic System Design
Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...

The Logical Approach to Low-Level Stack Reasoning
—Formal verification of low-level programs often requires explicit reasoning and specification of runtime stacks. Treating stacks naively as parts of ordinary heaps can lead to...

Cryptographically Sound Theorem Proving
We describe a faithful embedding of the Dolev-Yao model of Backes, Pfitzmann, and Waidner (CCS 2003) in the theorem prover Isabelle/HOL. This model is cryptographically sound in ...

A Refinement-Based Compositional Reasoning Framework for Pipelined Machine Verification
Abstract--We present a refinement-based compositional framework for showing that pipelined machines satisfy the same safety and liveness properties as their non-pipelined specifica...
