Google DeepMind has developed AlphaProof Code, an AI-powered framework that formally verifies complex software. Researchers used this system to mathematically prove the security properties of Signal's cryptographic protocol, a feat previously considered a grand security challenge. This breakthrough, achieved in four weeks, marks the first time AI has been used to formally verify a widely deployed cryptographic protocol at this depth, significantly reducing the time and effort required compared to traditional methods.
