Automated Formal Verification of Software Network Functions

Solal Vincenzo Pirelli

Formally verifying the correctness of software is necessary to merit the trust people put in software systems. Currently, formal verification requires human effort to prove that a piece of code matches its specification and code changes to improve verifiab ...

Formal Autograding in a Classroom (Experience Report)

Viktor Kuncak, Mario Bucev, Dragana Milovancevic, Samuel Chassot

We report our experience in enhancing automated grading in a functional programming course using formal verification. In our approach, we deploy a verifier for Scala programs to check equivalences between student submissions and reference solutions. Conseq ...

Creating Trust by Abolishing Hierarchies

Mathias Josef Payer, Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Adrien Ghosn, Charly Nicolas Lucien Castes, Neelu Shivprakash Kalani, Yuchen Qian

Software is going through a trust crisis. Privileged code is no longer trusted and processes insufficiently protect user code from unverified libraries. While usually treated separately, confidential computing and program compartmentalization are both symp ...

ACTOR: Action-Guided Kernel Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing reliably and efficiently finds bugs in software, including operating system kernels. In general, higher code coverage leads to the discovery of more bugs. This is why most existing kernel fuzzers adopt strategies to generate a series of inputs that ...

Berkeley2023

Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...

EPFL2022

Writing correct software is hard, yet in systems that have a high failure cost or are not easily upgraded like blockchains, bugs and security problems cannot be tolerated. Therefore, these systems are perfect use cases for formal verification, the task of ...

Chirok: a post-refinement tool to analyse absolute structure

Philip Pattison

Chirok is software for a post-refinement test of the absolute structure. The software allows a user to calculate a distribution of the measure of chirality based on intensity quotients and linked to the Flack parameter. The distribution is fitted by a set ...

A Study on More Realistic Room Simulation for Far-Field Keyword Spotting

Eric Bezzam, Robin Scheibler

We investigate the impact of more realistic room simulation for training far-field keyword spotting systems without fine-tuning on in-domain data. To this end, we study the impact of incorporating the following factors in the room impulse response (RIR) ge ...

IEEE2020

Program synthesis was first proposed a few decades ago, but in the last decade it has gained increased momentum in the research community. The increasing complexity of software has dictated the urgent need for improved supporting tools that verify the soft ...

Verifying Software Network Functions with No Verification Expertise

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Rishabh Ramesh Iyer, Luis David Figueiredo Mascarenhas Moreira Pedrosa, Matteo Rizzo

We present the design and implementation of Vigor, a software stack and toolchain for building and running software network middleboxes that are guaranteed to be correct, while preserving competitive performance and developer productivity. Developers write ...
