Program verification tools are often implemented as front-end translations of an input
program into an intermediate verification language (IVL) such as Boogie, GIL, Viper, or …

Foundational verification considers the functional correctness of programming languages
with formalized semantics and uses proof assistants (eg, Coq, Isabelle) to certify proofs. The …

Bounded verification has proved useful to detect bugs and to increase confidence in the
correctness of a program. In contrast to unbounded verification, reasoning about calls via …

Program verification tools are often implemented as front-end translations of an input
program into an intermediate verification language (IVL) such as Boogie, GIL, Viper, or …

Information flow security ensures that the secret data manipulated by a program does not
influence its observable output. Proving information flow security is especially challenging …

Formal verification is a promising technique to ensure the reliability of low-level programs
like operating systems and hypervisors, since it can show the absence of whole classes of …

Many separation logics [11] support fractional permissions [3, 2] to distinguish between read
and write access to a heap location, for instance, to allow concurrent reads while enforcing …

Automated program verifiers automatically check whether a software program conforms to a
user-provided specification. This includes checking whether the program will not crash and …

Viper is a powerful toolchain and infrastructure for program verification. It automates and
provides native support for permission-based reasoning by using separation logic …

Program verification techniques enable proving the absence of bugs in programs, which is
becoming increasingly important given the widespread use of programs in critical domains …
