Abstract

AbstractSatisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solvers are widely used to ensure the correctness of safety- and security-critical applications. Therefore, being able to trust a solver’s results is crucial. One way to increase trust is to generate independently checkable proof certificates, which record the reasoning steps done by the solver. A key challenge with this approach is that it is difficult to efficiently and accurately produce proofs for reasoning steps involving term rewriting rules. Previous work showed how a domain-specific language, Rare, can be used to capture rewriting rules for the purposes of proof production. However, in that work, the Rare rules had to be trusted, as the correctness of the rules themselves was not checked by the proof checker. In this paper, we present IsaRare, a tool that can automatically translate Rare rules into Isabelle/HOL lemmas. The soundness of the rules can then be verified by proving the lemmas. Because an incorrect rule can put the entire soundness of a proof system in jeopardy, our solution closes an important gap in the trustworthiness of SMT proof certificates. The same tool also provides a necessary component for enabling full proof reconstruction of SMT proof certificates in Isabelle/HOL. We evaluate our approach by verifying an extensive set of rewrite rules used by the cvc5 SMT solver.
