A Mechanized First-Order Theory of Algebraic Data Types with Pattern Matching

Authors: Joshua M. Cohen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
Algebraic data types (ADTs) and pattern matching are widely used to write elegant functional programs and to specify program behavior. These constructs are critical to most general-purpose interactive theorem provers (e.g. Lean, Rocq/Coq), first-order SMT-based deductive verifiers (e.g. Dafny, VeriFast), and intermediate verification languages (e.g. Why3). Such features require layers of compilation - in Rocq, pattern matches are compiled to remove nesting, while SMT-based tools further axiomatize ADTs with a first-order specification. However, these critical steps have been omitted from prior formalizations of such toolchains (e.g. MetaRocq). We give the first proved-sound sophisticated pattern matching compiler (based on Maranget’s compilation to decision trees) and first-order axiomatization of ADTs, both based on Why3 implementations. We prove the soundness of exhaustiveness checking, extending pen-and-paper proofs from the literature, and formulate a robustness property with which we find an exhaustiveness-related bug in Why3. We show that many of our proofs could be useful for reasoning about any first-order program verifier supporting ADTs.

Formalizing the Hidden Number Problem in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Sage Binder, Eric Ren, and Katherine Kosaian

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 352, 16th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2025)

Abstract
We formalize the hidden number problem (HNP), as introduced in a seminal work by Boneh and Venkatesan in 1996, in Isabelle/HOL. Intuitively, the HNP involves demonstrating the existence of an algorithm (the "adversary") which can compute (with high probability) a hidden number α given access to a bit-leaking oracle. Originally developed to establish the security of Diffie-Hellman key exchange, the HNP has since been used not only for protocol security but also in cryptographic attacks, including notable ones on DSA and ECDSA. Further, as the HNP establishes an expressive paradigm for reasoning about security in the context of information leakage, many HNP variants for other specialized cryptographic applications have since been developed. A main contribution of our work is explicating and clarifying the HNP proof blueprint from the original source material; naturally, formalization forces us to make all assumptions and proof steps precise and transparent. For example, the source material did not explicitly define the adversary and only abstractly defined what information is being leaked; our formalization concretizes both definitions. Additionally, the HNP makes use of an instance of Babai’s nearest plane algorithm, which solves the approximate closest vector problem; we formalize this as a result of independent interest. Our formalizations of Babai’s algorithm and the HNP adversary are executable, setting up potential future work, e.g. in developing formally verified instances of cryptographic attacks.

Time for Timed Monitorability

Authors: Thomas M. Grosen, Sean Kauffman, Kim G. Larsen, and Martin Zimmermann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Monitoring is an important part of the verification toolbox, in particular in situations where exhaustive verification using, e.g., model-checking is infeasible. The goal of online monitoring is to determine the satisfaction or violation of a specification during runtime, i.e., based on finite execution prefixes. However, not every specification is amenable to monitoring, e.g., properties for which no finite execution can witness satisfaction or violation. Monitorability is the question of whether a given specification is amenable to monitoring, and has been extensively studied in discrete time. Here, we study the monitorability problem for real-time properties expressed as Timed Automata. For specifications given by deterministic Timed Muller Automata, we prove decidability while we show that the problem is undecidable for specifications given by nondeterministic Timed Büchi automata. Furthermore, we refine monitorability to also determine bounds on the number of events as well as the time that must pass before monitoring the property may yield an informative verdict. We prove that for deterministic Timed Muller automata, such bounds can be effectively computed. In contrast we show that for nondeterministic Timed Büchi automata such bounds are not computable.

Monitorability for the Modal Mu-Calculus over Systems with Data: From Practice to Theory

Authors: Luca Aceto, Antonis Achilleos, Duncan Paul Attard, Léo Exibard, Adrian Francalanza, Anna Ingólfsdóttir, and Karoliina Lehtinen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Runtime verification consists in checking whether a system satisfies a given specification by observing the execution trace it produces. In the regular setting, the modal μ-calculus provides a versatile formalism for expressing specifications of the control flow of the system. This paper focuses on the data flow and studies an extension of that logic that allows it to express data-dependent properties, identifying fragments that can be verified at runtime and with what correctness guarantees. The logic studied here is closely related with register automata with guessing. That correspondence yields a monitor synthesis algorithm, and a strict hierarchy among the various fragments of the logic, in contrast to the regular setting. We then exhibit a fragment of the logic that can express all monitorable formulae in the logic without greatest fixed-points but not in the full logic, and show this is the best we can get.

Detecting Functionality-Specific Vulnerabilities via Retrieving Individual Functionality-Equivalent APIs in Open-Source Repositories

Authors: Tianyu Chen, Zeyu Wang, Lin Li, Ding Li, Zongyang Li, Xiaoning Chang, Pan Bian, Guangtai Liang, Qianxiang Wang, and Tao Xie

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
Functionality-specific vulnerabilities, which mainly occur in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with specific functionalities, are crucial for software developers to detect and avoid. When detecting individual functionality-specific vulnerabilities, the existing two categories of approaches are ineffective because they consider only the API bodies and are unable to handle diverse implementations of functionality-equivalent APIs. To effectively detect functionality-specific vulnerabilities, we propose APISS, the first approach to utilize API doc strings and signatures instead of API bodies. APISS first retrieves functionality-equivalent APIs for APIs with existing vulnerabilities and then migrates Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) of the existing vulnerabilities for newly detected vulnerable APIs. To retrieve functionality-equivalent APIs, we leverage a Large Language Model for API embedding to improve the accuracy and address the effectiveness and scalability issues suffered by the existing approaches. To migrate PoCs of the existing vulnerabilities for newly detected vulnerable APIs, we design a semi-automatic schema to substantially reduce manual costs. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation to empirically compare APISS with four state-of-the-art approaches of detecting vulnerabilities and two state-of-the-art approaches of retrieving functionality-equivalent APIs. The evaluation subjects include 180 widely used Java repositories using 10 existing vulnerabilities, along with their PoCs. The results show that APISS effectively retrieves functionality-equivalent APIs, achieving a Top-1 Accuracy of 0.81 while the best of the baselines under comparison achieves only 0.55. APISS is highly efficient: the manual costs are within 10 minutes per vulnerability and the end-to-end runtime overhead of testing one candidate API is less than 2 hours. APISS detects 179 new vulnerabilities and receives 60 new CVE IDs, bringing high value to security practice.

IsaBIL: A Framework for Verifying (In)correctness of Binaries in Isabelle/HOL

Authors: Matt Griffin, Brijesh Dongol, and Azalea Raad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
This paper presents IsaBIL, a binary analysis framework in Isabelle/HOL that is based on the widely used Binary Analysis Platform (BAP). Specifically, in IsaBIL, we formalise BAP’s intermediate language, called BIL and integrate it with Hoare logic (to enable proofs of correctness) as well as incorrectness logic (to enable proofs of incorrectness). IsaBIL inherits the full flexibility of BAP, allowing us to verify binaries for a wide range of languages (C, C++, Rust), toolchains (LLVM, Ghidra) and target architectures (x86, RISC-V), and can also be used when the source code for a binary is unavailable. To make verification tractable, we develop a number of big-step rules that combine BIL’s existing small-step rules at different levels of abstraction to support reuse. We develop high-level reasoning rules for RISC-V instructions (our main target architecture) to further optimise verification. Additionally, we develop Isabelle proof tactics that exploit common patterns in C binaries for RISC-V to discharge large numbers of proof goals (often in the 100s) automatically. IsaBIL includes an Isabelle/ML based parser for BIL programs, allowing one to automatically generate the associated Isabelle/HOL program locale from a BAP output. Taken together, IsaBIL provides a highly flexible proof environment for program binaries. As examples, we prove correctness of key examples from the Joint Strike Fighter coding standards and the MITRE database.

Contract Systems Need Domain-Specific Notations (Pearl/Brave New Idea)

Authors: Cameron Moy, Ryan Jung, and Matthias Felleisen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 333, 39th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2025)

Abstract
Contract systems enable programmers to state specifications and have them enforced at run time. First-order contracts are expressed using ordinary code, while higher-order contracts are expressed using the notation familiar from type systems. Most interface descriptions, though, come with properties that involve not just assertions about single method calls, but entire call chains. Typical contract systems cannot express these specifications concisely. Such specifications demand domain-specific notations. In response, this paper proposes that contract systems abstract over the notation used for stating specifications. It presents an architecture for such a system, some illustrative examples, and an evaluation in terms of common notations from the literature.

Propositional Logics of Overwhelming Truth

Authors: Thibaut Antoine and David Baelde

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 326, 33rd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2025)

Abstract
Cryptographers consider that asymptotic security holds when, for any possible attacker running in polynomial time, the probability that the attack succeeds is negligible, i.e. that it tends fast enough to zero with the size of secrets. In order to reason formally about cryptographic truth, one may thus consider logics where a formula is satisfied when it is true with overwhelming probability, i.e. a probability that tends fast enough to one with the size of secrets. In such logics it is not always the case that either ϕ or ⌝ϕ is satisfied by a given model. However, security analyses will inevitably involve specific formulas, which we call determined, satisfying this property - typically because they are not probabilistic. The Squirrel proof assistant, which implements a logic of overwhelming truth, features ad-hoc proof rules for this purpose. In this paper, we study several propositional logics whose semantics rely on overwhelming truth. We first consider a modal logic of overwhelming truth, and show that it coincides with S5. In addition to providing an axiomatization, this brings a well-behaved proof system for our logic in the form of Poggiolesi’s hypersequent calculus. Further, we show that this system can be adapted to elegantly incorporate reasoning on determined atoms. We then consider a logic that is closer to Squirrel’s language, where the overwhelming truth modality cannot be nested. In that case, we show that a simple proof system, based on regular sequents, is sound and complete. This result justifies the core of Squirrel’s proof system.

Practical Relational Calculus Query Evaluation

Authors: Martin Raszyk, David Basin, Srđan Krstić, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 220, 25th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2022)

Abstract
The relational calculus (RC) is a concise, declarative query language. However, existing RC query evaluation approaches are inefficient and often deviate from established algorithms based on finite tables used in database management systems. We devise a new translation of an arbitrary RC query into two safe-range queries, for which the finiteness of the query’s evaluation result is guaranteed. Assuming an infinite domain, the two queries have the following meaning: The first is closed and characterizes the original query’s relative safety, i.e., whether given a fixed database, the original query evaluates to a finite relation. The second safe-range query is equivalent to the original query, if the latter is relatively safe. We compose our translation with other, more standard ones to ultimately obtain two SQL queries. This allows us to use standard database management systems to evaluate arbitrary RC queries. We show that our translation improves the time complexity over existing approaches, which we also empirically confirm in both realistic and synthetic experiments.

Verified Progress Tracking for Timely Dataflow

Authors: Matthias Brun, Sára Decova, Andrea Lattuada, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 193, 12th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2021)

Abstract
Large-scale stream processing systems often follow the dataflow paradigm, which enforces a program structure that exposes a high degree of parallelism. The Timely Dataflow distributed system supports expressive cyclic dataflows for which it offers low-latency data- and pipeline-parallel stream processing. To achieve high expressiveness and performance, Timely Dataflow uses an intricate distributed protocol for tracking the computation’s progress. We modeled the progress tracking protocol as a combination of two independent transition systems in the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant. We specified and verified the safety of the two components and of the combined protocol. To this end, we identified abstract assumptions on dataflow programs that are sufficient for safety and were not previously formalized.

Generic Authenticated Data Structures, Formally

Authors: Matthias Brun and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 141, 10th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2019)

Abstract
Authenticated data structures are a technique for outsourcing data storage and maintenance to an untrusted server. The server is required to produce an efficiently checkable and cryptographically secure proof that it carried out precisely the requested computation. Recently, Miller et al. [https://doi.org/10.1145/2535838.2535851] demonstrated how to support a wide range of such data structures by integrating an authentication construct as a first class citizen in a functional programming language. In this paper, we put this work to the test of formalization in the Isabelle proof assistant. With Isabelle’s help, we uncover and repair several mistakes and modify the small-step semantics to perform call-by-value evaluation rather than requiring terms to be in administrative normal form.

From Nondeterministic to Multi-Head Deterministic Finite-State Transducers (Track B: Automata, Logic, Semantics, and Theory of Programming)

Authors: Martin Raszyk, David Basin, and Dmitriy Traytel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 132, 46th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2019)

Abstract
Every nondeterministic finite-state automaton is equivalent to a deterministic finite-state automaton. This result does not extend to finite-state transducers - finite-state automata equipped with a one-way output tape. There is a strict hierarchy of functions accepted by one-way deterministic finite-state transducers (1DFTs), one-way nondeterministic finite-state transducers (1NFTs), and two-way nondeterministic finite-state transducers (2NFTs), whereas the two-way deterministic finite-state transducers (2DFTs) accept the same family of functions as their nondeterministic counterparts (2NFTs). We define multi-head one-way deterministic finite-state transducers (mh-1DFTs) as a natural extension of 1DFTs. These transducers have multiple one-way reading heads that move asynchronously over the input word. Our main result is that mh-1DFTs can deterministically express any function defined by a one-way nondeterministic finite-state transducer. Of independent interest, we formulate the all-suffix regular matching problem, which is the problem of deciding for each suffix of an input word whether it belongs to a regular language. As part of our proof, we show that an mh-1DFT can solve all-suffix regular matching, which has applications, e.g., in runtime verification.

Failure-aware Runtime Verification of Distributed Systems

Authors: David Basin, Felix Klaedtke, and Eugen Zalinescu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 45, 35th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2015)

Abstract
Prior runtime-verification approaches for distributed systems are limited as they do not account for network failures and they assume that system messages are received in the order they are sent. To overcome these limitations, we present an online algorithm for verifying observed system behavior at runtime with respect to specifications written in the real-time logic MTL that efficiently handles out-of-order message deliveries and operates in the presence of failures. Our algorithm uses a three-valued semantics for MTL, where the third truth value models knowledge gaps, and it resolves knowledge gaps as it propagates Boolean values through the formula structure. We establish the algorithm's soundness and provide completeness guarantees. We also show that it supports distributed system monitoring, where multiple monitors cooperate and exchange their observations and conclusions.

FAST: An Efficient Decision Procedure for Deduction and Static Equivalence

Authors: Bruno Conchinha, David A. Basin, and Carlos Caleiro

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 10, 22nd International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications (RTA'11) (2011)

Abstract
Message deducibility and static equivalence are central problems in symbolic security protocol analysis. We present FAST, an efficient decision procedure for these problems under subterm-convergent equational theories. FAST is a C++ implementation of an improved version of the algorithm presented in our previous work. This algorithm has a better asymptotic complexity than other algorithms implemented by existing tools for the same task, and FAST's optimizations further improve these complexity results. We describe here the main ideas of our implementation and compare its performance with competing tools. The results show that our implementation is significantly faster: for many examples, FAST terminates in under a second, whereas other tools take several minutes.

Runtime Monitoring of Metric First-order Temporal Properties

Authors: David Basin, Felix Klaedtke, Samuel Müller, and Birgit Pfitzmann

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 2, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (2008)

Abstract
We introduce a novel approach to the runtime monitoring of complex system properties. In particular, we present an online algorithm for a safety fragment of metric first-order temporal logic that is considerably more expressive than the logics supported by prior monitoring methods. Our approach, based on automatic structures, allows the unrestricted use of negation, universal and existential quantification over infinite domains, and the arbitrary nesting of both past and bounded future operators. Moreover, we show how to optimize our approach for the common case where structures consist of only finite relations, over possibly infinite domains. Under an additional restriction, we prove that the space consumed by our monitor is polynomially bounded by the cardinality of the data appearing in the processed prefix of the temporal structure being monitored.
