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.

Formal Verification of a Fail-Safe Cross-Chain Bridge

Authors: Filip Marić, Bernhard Scholz, and Pavle Subotić

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 129, 6th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Blockchains (FMBC 2025)

Abstract
Cross-chain bridges are financial services that interconnect blockchains. High monetary values flow through these bridges, and their security must be safeguarded. However, designing real-world cross-chain bridges is a difficult endeavor. Due to blockchain’s closed-world nature, tokens cannot be transferred from a sender to a receiver chain; on the contrary, they need complex logic that maintains an equilibrium on both chains, even if either the chains or the bridge fail. This paper formally verifies a model of a novel fail-safe cross-chain bridge to ensure correctness. We define formal requirements and prove the bridge is safe using the Isabelle/HOL proof assistant.

Foundational Verification of Stateful P4 Packet Processing

Authors: Qinshi Wang, Mengying Pan, Shengyi Wang, Ryan Doenges, Lennart Beringer, and Andrew W. Appel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 268, 14th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2023)

Abstract
P4 is a standardized programming language for the network data plane. But P4 is not just for routing anymore. As programmable switches support stateful objects, P4 programs move beyond just stateless forwarders into new stateful applications: network telemetry (heavy hitters, DDoS detection, performance monitoring), middleboxes (firewalls, NAT, load balancers, intrusion detection), and distributed services (in-network caching, lock management, conflict detection). The complexity of stateful programs and their richer specifications are beyond what existing P4 program verifiers can handle. Verifiable P4 is a new interactive verification framework for P4 that (1) allows reasoning about multi-packet properties by specifying the per-packet relation between initial and final states; (2) performs modular verification, especially providing a modular description for stateful objects; (3) is foundational, i.e., with a machine-checked soundness proof with respect to a formal operational semantics of P4_{16} (the current specification of P4) in Coq. In addition, our framework includes a proved-correct reference interpreter. We demonstrate the framework with the specification and verification of a stateful firewall that uses a sliding-window Bloom filter on a Tofino switch to block (most) unsolicited traffic.
