Using EasyCrypt and Jasmin for post-quantum verification

What's this blog post about?

Cryptographic code is essential for secure communication in various applications, but ensuring its correctness and security can be challenging. Formal verification techniques are used to prove that a piece of code correctly implements a specification. In this blog post, the authors discuss formal verification tools such as EasyCrypt and Jasmin, which help verify cryptographic implementations. They also emphasize the importance of formal verification for post-quantum cryptography, as deploying algorithms with flaws in their security properties could have severe consequences. The authors are working towards a formally verified implementation of FrodoKEM and collaborating to create a library that can be used in real-world connections.
