Proofcraft News - 2025

4 years since the creation of Proofcraft

Proofcraft is celebrating its 4th year anniversary, still enjoying pushing the limits of verified software, with multiple multi-year projects started in the last year!

Pushing the availability and ability to use verified software for non-experts, in DARPA’s PROVERS program. Pushing verified software in areas where using multiple processors is imperative for high performance, in Cyberagentur’s ÖvIT program. And continuing to push the verification of seL4 on AArch64 with further funding from NCSC.

Many exciting developments to come.

Proofcraft recipient of Cyberagentur funding for verification of seL4 multikernel

Proofcraft, partnering with Kry10, is one of the 5 recipients of Germany’s Cyberagentur’s Ecosystem trustworthy IT research program (ÖvIT).

Kry10 and Proofcraft partner to deliver dynamism, performance, and proof for complex cyber-physical systems. The project will enable: over-the-air updates using dynamic configurations; high performance using multiple cores; and high security assurance using rigorous design and formal verification.

In particular, Proofcraft will extend the seL4 microkernel proofs to support a static multikernel configuration, where applications can benefit from the use of multiple CPU cores for performance, while at the kernel level a separate instance of seL4 run on each core.

At ÖvIT kick-off meeting on January 20th, 2025, at Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences in Halle (Saale) Germany, June Andronick presented Proofcraft’s contribution to the program, together with Matthew Brecknell from Kry10, while Boyd Multerer, CEO of Kry10, presented the vision for the whole project.
