A Lem formalization of EVM and some Isabelle/HOL proofs

Formalization of Ethereum Virtual Machine in Lem

This repository contains

• an EVM implementation in Lem lem/evm.lem
• a Keccak-256 implementation in Lem lem/keccak.lem
• a form of functional correctness defined in Lem lem/evmNonExec.lem
• a relational semantics that captures the environment's nondeterministic behavior RelationalSem.thy
• some example verified contracts in example
• a parser that parses hex code and emits an Isabelle/HOL expression representing the program parser/hexparser.rb

When you see \<Rightarrow> in the source, try using the Isabelle2016-1 interface. There you see ⇒ instead.

Lem?

Lem is a language that can be translated into Coq, Isabelle/HOL, HOL4, OCaml, HTML and LaTeX.

Prerequisites

• Isabelle2016-1
• lem
• OCaml 4.02.3
• opam 1.2.2
• Some opam packages: use opam install ocamlfind batteries yojson bignum easy-format bisect_ppx ocamlbuild sha
• ECC-OCaml from mrsmkl

How to read the proofs

First translate the Lem definitions into Isabelle/HOL:

$ make lem-thy

Then, use Isabelle2016-1 to open ./examples/AlwaysFail.thy. The prerequisite Isabelle/HOL files are automatically opened.

How to run VM tests and state tests

Make sure the tests submodule is cloned

$ git submodule init tests
$ git submodule update tests

Extract the OCaml definitions

$ make lem-ocaml

And move to tester directory.

$ cd tester

One way is to run the VM Test.

$ sh compile.sh
$ ./runVmTest.native

(When ./runVmTest.native takes an argument, it executes only the test cases whose names contain the argument as a substring.)

Another way is to run the VM Test and measure the coverage.

$ sh measure_coverage.sh

Moreover, it's possible to run the state tests:

for j in `ls ../../tests/StateTests/*.json`
do
./stateTestReturnStatus.native $j || break
done

Makefile goals

• make deed produces a verified PDF document for the Deed contract in output/document.pdf. Make sure that isabelle points to Isabelle2016-1/bin/isabelle (not earlier versions).
• make doc produces output/document.pdf as well as lem/*.pdf.
• make lem-thy compiles the Lem sources into Isabelle/HOL
• make lem-hol compiles the Lem sources into HOL4
• make lem-coq; cd lem; make compiles the Lem sources into Coq (and then compiles the Coq sources)
• make lem-pdf compiles some of the Lem sources into PDF through LaTeX
• make all-isabelle checks all Isabelle/HOL sources (but not the ones compiled from Lem)
• make does everything above
• script/gen_coq.sh generates a distribution useful for Coq users
