Tools Support for Linux Kernel Deductive Verification Workflow

Errors in critically important systems may become very expensive. If such systems must provide confidentiality when working with some critically important data such as classified information or private know-how, an error cost may become difficult to evaluate. For these systems, formal verification methods should be used to prove they are error-free. In the paper, a case of formal verification of such system – a Linux kernel security module – is considered the chosen toolset, the verification process workflow are reviewed, along with some auxiliary tools required for this process and developed by the authors.
