kani-verifier

You prove memory safety in Rust using Kani by automating rigorous verification with symbolic inputs and assertions. This targets specific functions to provide mathematical guarantees against undefined behavior across all possible inputs.

A Kani proof harness uses the #[kani::proof] attribute to verify code properties for all inputs. It applies symbolic inputs and assertions to automatically check for memory safety, arithmetic overflows, and panics.

Yes, Kani supports contract-based verification, loop unwinding, and stubs for modular verification in Rust. This allows isolating modules and applying reusable verification patterns to achieve formal guarantees.

Yes, Kani automatically checks for arithmetic overflows and panics during verification. It performs these checks alongside memory safety validation using loop unwinding and contract support across all inputs.

You need formal verification when Rust applications require mathematical guarantees about memory safety beyond conventional testing. Kani provides exhaustive verification to surface issues early and prove the absence of undefined behavior.
