Detecting inconsistencies via universal reachability analysis
Recent research has suggested that a large class of software bugs fall into the category of inconsistencies, or cases where two pieces of program code make incompatible assumption...

Experimenting with Deduction Modulo
Deduction modulo is a generic framework to describe proofs in a theory better than using raw axioms. This is done by presenting the theory through rules rewriting terms and proposi...

An Inductive Approach to Provable Anonymity
—We formalise in a theorem prover the notion of provable anonymity proposed by Garcia et al. Our formalization relies on inductive definitions of message distinguish ability and...

Securing social networks
We present a cryptographic framework to achieve access control, privacy of social relations, secrecy of resources, and anonymity of users in social networks. The main idea is to u...

Separation logic + superposition calculus = heap theorem prover
Program analysis and verification tools crucially depend on the ability to symbolically describe and reason about sets of program behaviors. Separation logic provides a promising...

An Even Closer Integration of Linear Arithmetic into Inductive Theorem Proving
To broaden the scope of decision procedures for linear arithmetic, they have to be integrated into theorem provers. Successful approaches e.g. in NQTHM or ACL2 suggest a close int...

A Formalisation of the Normal Forms of Context-Free Grammars in HOL4
We describe the formalisation of the normal forms of context-free grammars (CFGs) using the HOL4 theorem prover. These straightforward pen and paper proofs easily understood from t...

A Theorem Prover for Prioritized Circumscription
In a recent paper, Ginsberg shows how a backward-chaining ATMS can be used to construct a theorem prover for circumscription. Here, this work is extended to handle prioritized cir...

Practical Partition-Based Theorem Proving for Large Knowledge Bases
Query answering over commonsense knowledge bases typically employs a first-order logic theorem prover. While first-order inference is intractable in general, provers can often b...

Mechanized Information Flow Analysis through Inductive Assertions
We present a method for verifying information flow properties of software programs using inductive assertions and theorem proving. Given a program annotated with information flow a...
