Compositional Formal Verification of Zero-Knowledge Circuits

We provide a preliminary report of our ongoing work in formally defining and verifying, in a compositional way, the R1CS gadgets generated by Aleo\u27s snarkVM. The approach is applicable to other systems that generate gadgets in a similar manner, and that may use non-R1CS representations

UCLID5: Multi-Modal Formal Modeling, Verification, and Synthesis

UCLID5 is a tool for the multi-modal formal modeling, verification,and synthesis of systems. It enables one to tackle verification problems for heterogeneous systems such as combinations of hardware and software, or those that have multiple, varied specifications, or systems that require hybrid modes of modeling. A novel aspect of UCLID5 is an emphasis on the use of syntax-guided and inductive synthesis to automate steps in modeling and verification. This toolpaper presents new developments in the UCLID5 tool including new language features, integration with new techniques for syntax-guided synthesis and satisfiability solving, support for hyperproperties and combinations of axiomatic and operational modeling, demonstrations on new problem classes, and a more robust implementation
