We present recent work on building and scaling trustworthy systems with formal, machine-
checkable proof from the ground up, including the operating system kernel, at the level of …

Before software can be formally reasoned about, it must first be represented in some form of
logic. There are two approaches to carrying out this translation: the first is to generate an …

The use of Hoare logic in combination with weakest preconditions and strongest
postconditions is a standard tool for program verification, known as backward and forward …

In this talk, I will give an overview of the various formal verification projects around the
evolving seL4 microkernel, and discuss our experience in large scale proof engineering and …

Formal method tools are used in the initial stages of the software development cycle and
