A layered formal verification of ChaCha20-Poly1305 in TLS implementations

Sep 2026 · International Conference on Automated Software Engineering · Vol 33 · 0 citations · 45 references

TL;DR

A layered verification workflow that connects an RFC-level High Spec, implementation-oriented Low Specs, and concrete C implementations of ChaCha20-Poly1305 and proves auxiliary model-consistency lemmas between the RFC-level and implementation-oriented Cryptol models.

SeriCrypt: An LLM-Driven Context-Aware Serialization Framework for Cryptographic Protocols

Constructing syntactically correct and cryptographically valid message sequences is essential for protocol state machine learning, conformance testing, and fuzzing. Unlike plaintext protocols, cryptographic protocols involve complex cross-message state dependencies and cryptographic computation constraints. Existing au...

LLM-Assisted Automatic Security Proofs for Cryptographic Protocols: How Far Are We?

Large language models (LLMs) have shown strong potential for assisting software and security analysis tasks, yet their effectiveness in cryptographic symbolic protocol verification remains insufficiently understood. In this paper, we conduct the first systematic evaluation of the capability of state-of-the-art LLMs in...
