Abstract

Verifying the implementation of complex algorithms in reasonable time goes beyond the state of the art of current verification tools. Certifying algorithms compute in addition to each output a witness certifying that the output is correct. A checker for a certifying algorithm checks the witness for correctness and is usually much simpler than the algorithm. Verification of checkers is feasible with current tools and leads to computations that can be completely trusted.


We verified several checkers from the algorithmic library LEDA using the interactive theorem prover Isabelle/HOL as a backend to the automatic code verifier VCC. Currently, using newly developed tools, we show that the verification can be carried out completely within Isabelle/HOL.

In this talk I will give an overview of both approaches and a comparison.
