Google Deepmind's AlphaProof Code verified Signal's cryptographic core in four weeks instead of years
Google DeepMind used its AlphaProof Code system to mathematically verify Signal's cryptographic core code in four weeks, compressing a process that typically requires years. AI agents powered by Gemini Carbon generated over six million lines of formal proof code, requiring human review for approximately one percent of the output. DeepMind stated plans to apply this automated verification methodology to critical infrastructure software, including power grids and medical devices.
