Formal verification of cryptographic hash function security in Lean 4.
TrustHash proves that hash functions resist structural attacks by formalizing a two-layer security model:
security_level = min(generic_floor, structural_cost)
- Layer 1 (Generic): Birthday bound, Wagner GBP, Joux cascade, sponge floor — attacks that work against ANY hash function.
- Layer 2 (Structural): Differential, linear, algebraic, zero-sum, round-skipping — attacks that exploit internal structure.
If structural cost >= generic floor, the hash is optimal (no structural weakness). If structural < generic, the hash has an exploitable weakness.
Recent results in the literature motivate formal verification of hash security:
- The STARK-friendly hash report (Canteaut et al. 2020) found that GMiMC-128-d's zero-sum covers the full permutation, and Poseidon-128-d has a narrow 2^61 distinguisher margin.
- "Skipping Class" (Merz & Rodriguez Garcia 2026) showed that collisions can be algebraically cheaper than preimages via invariant subspace attacks.
- The Ethereum Foundation bounty (2024-2026) revealed that original Poseidon-2 security estimates were underestimated.
TrustHash formalizes the underlying cost models (differential, algebraic, zero-sum, round-skipping) so that security claims can be machine-checked rather than estimated by hand.
Three-column analysis feeding into a unified verdict:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Threat Lattice + Attack Taxonomy | Degree Tracking + S-box Cost Model | Treewidth per Section |
| Hash Gone Bad 4D (COL x LE x OC x IL) | Skipping Class degree bounds | STARK report (HADES structure) |
The full pipeline (v3.1) runs on real hash functions:
S-box table → AutoSboxPipeline → SboxCertifiedParams →
HashExprF → E-graph saturation (12 rules, recursive rewriting) →
HashCircuit → constraint graph → tree decomposition →
nice tree → security DP (with optimality proof) → two-layer verdict
Each stage is verified: E-graph preserves semantics (allRules_realSaturate_sound), DP gives an optimal lower bound (dp_optimal_of_validNTD), certified params flow through with proof (claim3_certified_flow), and multi-round DP composes across rounds (multiRound_composedCost_ge_single).

TrustHash is a proof library, not an interactive tool. You use it by writing Lean 4: define your hash parameters, and Lean computes and verifies the security level at compile time. There are several ways to use it, from simplest to most powerful:
Import TrustHash.FullVerdict and fill in the FullAnalysis structure:
import TrustHash.FullVerdict
open TrustHash.FullVerdict
def poseidon128 : FullAnalysis where
outputBits := 256 -- n: hash output length in bits
diffUniformity := 4 -- δ: differential uniformity of the S-box
activeSboxes := 22 -- b: minimum active S-boxes over all trails
algebraicDeg := 5 -- d: algebraic degree of the S-box (x^5)
treewidth := 2 -- tw: treewidth of the HADES section (t-1 for t=3)
totalRounds := 8 -- R: total number of rounds
skippedRounds := 0 -- s: rounds the adversary can skip
h_output := by omega -- proofs that parameters are well-formed
h_delta := by omega
h_active := by omega
h_deg := by omega
h_tw := by omega
h_rounds := by omega
h_skip := by omegaEvaluate the security verdict:
#eval genericFloor poseidon128 -- 128 (birthday: 256/2)
#eval differentialCost poseidon128 -- 17592186044416 (4^22)
#eval algebraicCost poseidon128 -- 25 (5^2)
#eval structuralCost poseidon128 -- 25 (min of differential and algebraic)
#eval overallSecurity poseidon128 -- 25 (min of generic and structural)Interpretation: Poseidon-128 with treewidth 2 has overall security = 25, far below the generic floor of 128. The algebraic attack (degree 5, treewidth 2 = cost 25) is the bottleneck. Increasing treewidth or algebraic degree would improve security.
Prove properties about your hash:
-- Security is always at least 1
example : overallSecurity poseidon128 ≥ 1 :=
structural_cost_pos poseidon128 -- structural ≥ 1, and overall ≤ structural
-- Overall security can't exceed the birthday bound

v1.2 closes the gap between the arithmetic model and real cryptanalytic computation. Instead of manually providing derived parameters (active S-boxes, treewidth), you define only design parameters and the pipeline computes everything.
Define design parameters only:
import TrustHash.Pipeline.PipelineInstances
open TrustHash.HashSpec
open TrustHash.PipelineVerdict
def myHash : HashSpec where
construction := .Sponge
outputBits := 256
stateWidth := 3
rate := 128
capacity := 128
sboxDegree := 5 -- S-box degree
diffUniformity := 4 -- S-box differential uniformity
branchNumber := 3 -- MDS branch number
fullRounds := 8 -- R_F full rounds
partialRounds := 57 -- R_P partial rounds
h_output := by omega; h_width := by omega; h_deg := by omega
h_delta := by omega; h_branch := by omega; h_rounds := by omegaPipeline computes derived values automatically:
-- Pipeline computes treewidth from round structure
-- tw(full) = max(1, t-1), tw(partial) = 1
-- Pipeline computes active S-boxes from wide trail
-- active = branchNumber * fullRounds + partialRounds
-- Pipeline computes costs and verdict
#eval pipelineVerdictTag myHash -- "WEAKNESS"
#eval computeVerdict myHash -- 25Prove pipeline verdicts (native_decide):
theorem myHash_weakness :
pipelineVerdictTag myHash = "WEAKNESS" := by native_decide
theorem myHash_verdict_val :
computeVerdict myHash = 25 := by native_decidev1.2 also includes:
- DegreeFold: Degree tracking catamorphism over HADES round sequences (adapted from DynamicTreeProg.treeFold)
- FoldCostBound: Proof that fold-based computation matches pipeline computation
- AlgExpr + CryptoRewrites: Sound algebraic rewrite rules for S-box degree simplification (adapted from OptiSat.SoundRewriteRule)
- SimplificationVerifier: End-to-end verified simplification (e.g.,
d^8 * 1^57 = d^8for Poseidon partial rounds)
v2.0 replaces manual parameter entry with real cryptanalytic computation. It adds 5 functional components that compute security parameters directly from S-box tables and constraint graph structure:
- S-box analysis: Computes DDT, LAT, and algebraic degree FROM the S-box lookup table
- Differential trail search: Analytical + exhaustive search for minimum active S-boxes
- Treewidth computation: Greedy min-degree elimination on constraint graphs, tree decomposition, nice tree conversion
- E-graph engine: Union-find with congruence closure, pattern matching, fuel-based saturation, greedy extraction — with semantic preservation proofs
- DP over tree decompositions: niceTreeFold catamorphism with crypto-specific cost functions, connecting differential and algebraic DP to a unified security bound

v5.0 extends TrustHash from a static verifier to a dynamic security analyzer with three new capabilities:
- AG quantum bounds (Feng-Ling-Xing): algebraic-geometry codes that surpass naive Grover halving
- Composable attack engine: a parallel E-graph that discovers optimal attack combinations
- Distribution + collision variety bounds: inverse sieve and Hilbert irreducibility as new security dimensions
The FullAnalysisV5 structure captures all security-relevant parameters. Lean enforces well-formedness via proof obligations (h_output, h_deg, etc.) — if your parameters are invalid, the code does not compile.

else quantumGenericFloor n
expandedStructuralCostV5 =

Everything is nested min. The adversary picks the cheapest attack. TrustHash reports that minimum.
-- Lean kernel-verifies that the result is exactly 42

-- Lean verifies the security never exceeds the quantum floor
theorem myHash_bounded :

For hashes built over algebraic-geometry codes, set agFieldSize to the base field size. The quantum floor then uses the Drinfeld-Vladut bound instead of naive BHT:
def hyperellipticV5 : FullAnalysisV5 where
outputBits := 256
agFieldSize := 2048 -- F_{2^11}, so DV(2048) = isqrt(2048) - 1 = 44
-- ...other fields...
#eval quantumFloorV5 hyperellipticV5 -- min(85, 44) = 44
-- AG bound is tighter: 44 < 85 (classical BHT for 256-bit)| Hash | Security (bits) | Binding factor | Family |

| PRESENT-80 | 26 | Quantum floor (n/3) | Classical |

TrustHash formalizes the computation of the verdict, not the cryptanalytic work that precedes it. You must supply the parameters:
| Parameter | Source |
|---|---|
diffUniformity |
DDT of your S-box (e.g., AES S-box has delta=4) |
activeSboxes |
Wide trail strategy: branchNumber * fullRounds + partialRounds |
algebraicDeg |
ANF polynomial degree of your S-box |
treewidth |
Structural analysis of your round's constraint graph |
agFieldSize |
Base field size if your hash uses AG codes (0 otherwise) |
The value is not the point — a calculator can compute min(42, 81). What TrustHash provides:
- Formula correctness:
v5_le_quantumFloor,v5_le_structural,v5_le_v4are kernel-verified theorems - Parameter validation: invalid parameters (e.g.,
algebraicDeg := 0) are rejected at compile time - Formal comparisons:
poseidon_beats_gmimcis a machine-checked proof, not a paper claim - Composition soundness: each of the 15 attack rewrite rules has an individual soundness proof
- Upgrade safety:
v5_le_v4proves that v5.0 can only decrease or maintain v4.0 security levels
- Treewidth computation uses greedy min-degree elimination (heuristic upper bound). It gives exact results for HADES-specific graphs (complete K_t, star S_t) but is not guaranteed optimal for arbitrary graphs.
- E-graph extraction uses greedy bottom-up cost selection. v2.5 adds ILP encoding (TENSAT formulation) with solution checking, but the solver itself is external.
- Security DP values are abstract cost units (not directly bits of security). The mapping from DP cost to concrete bit-security requires domain-specific interpretation.
- Exponential DP uses fuel to bound computation. When fuel is exhausted, it falls back to v2.1 linear DP (always terminates, provably correct but less tight).
- TreeDecomp validity is checked via boolean predicates (
isValid), not connected to a formal specification type. - Executable ciphers (v3.1) implement individual round functions, not full cipher encryption/decryption with key schedules. Test vectors validate round-level operations.
- Multi-round DP (v3.1) composes round-level DP results additively. This assumes independent rounds; correlated round attacks are not modeled.
The following areas represent open directions where TrustHash could be extended:
All proofs use Init/Std only (no Mathlib). Several areas would benefit from Mathlib's library:
- Walsh-Hadamard transform: Currently modeled over
Nat;Mathlib.Analysis.Fourierwould give properℂ-valued transforms. - Algebraic immunity: Currently uses
Nat-based annihilator counting;Mathlib.FieldTheorywould formalize GF(2^n). - Collision probability bounds: Currently discrete;
Mathlib.Probabilitywould give measure-theoretic foundation.
v3.1 recursive rewriting operates on tree syntax (HashExprF). Connecting to the v2.0 union-find E-graph engine (EGraph.Core) would enable congruence closure and sharing-aware optimization, potentially discovering deeper simplifications.
v3.1 implements individual round functions (AES SubBytes/MixColumns, Keccak χ/θ). Full cipher encryption with key expansion would enable end-to-end test vector validation against NIST standards.
Multi-round DP (v3.1) assumes independent rounds. Modeling round-key-dependent correlations (e.g., slide attacks, related-key differentials) would strengthen the security analysis.
v3.1 covers SPN (PRESENT, AES, Poseidon, Rescue-Prime), sponge (SHA-3), and generalized Feistel (GMiMC). Natural extensions:
- Poseidon2/Poseidon2b: Extended HADES with external matrix multiplication.
- BLAKE2/BLAKE3: Compression function analysis via ARX model.
- Ascon: Lightweight authenticated encryption (NIST LWC winner).
Current bounds are worst-case (minimum active S-boxes, algebraic degree). Probabilistic analysis using differential probability distributions would give tighter expected-case bounds.
