Microsoft Research has developed a new methodology for formally verifying cryptographic algorithms written in Rust, utilizing the Lean proof framework and the Aeneas toolchain. This approach aims to provide higher security assurance for production cryptographic code, including post-quantum cryptography standards like ML-KEM and SHA-3. The verified code, specifications, and proofs are being open-sourced, with initial releases for algorithms currently used in Windows Insider builds. AI
