We are happy to announce the first formal release of Crux, a new open-source verification tool from Galois. This new tool aims to improve software assurance using symbolic testing, a technique that allows for smooth migration from testing to verification. Crux builds on the same infrastructure as our Software Analysis Workbench (SAW), but with a […]

The Software Analysis Workbench (SAW) is one of Galois’s flagship verification tools. SAW has been used to verify important, real-world cryptographic algorithms, such as AES block cipher, the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). We have used this to verify existing, widely used libraries such as libgcrypt and Bouncy Castle. […]
