Rust relies on its unique ownership mechanism to ensure thread and memory safety. However, numerous potential security vulnerabilities persist in practical applications. New language features in Rust pose new challenges for vulnerability…

Existing automated verification techniques for safe Rust code rely on the strong type-system properties to reason about programs, especially to deduce which memory locations do not change (i.e., are framed) across function calls. However,…

Rust is a popular programming language in building various low-level software in recent years. It aims to provide safe concurrency when implementing multi-threaded software through a suite of compiler checking rules. Unfortunately, there is…

We present Crux, a cross-language verification tool for Rust and C/LLVM. Crux targets bounded, intricate pieces of code that are difficult for humans to get right: for example, cryptographic modules and serializer / deserializer pairs. Crux…

Rust is a relatively new system programming language that has been experiencing a rapid adoption in the past 10 years. Rust incorporates a memory ownership model enforced at a compile time. Since this model involves zero runtime overhead,…

Rust claims to advance industrial programming by bridging the gap between low-level systems programming and high-level application programming. At the heart of the argument that this enables programmers to build more reliable and efficient…

VeriFast is a leading tool for the modular formal verification of correctness properties of single-threaded and multi-threaded C and Rust programs. It verifies a program by symbolically executing each function in isolation, exploiting…

The growing adoption of Rust for its memory safety and performance has increased the demand for effective migration of legacy C codebases. However, existing rule-based translators (e.g., \ctorust) often generate verbose, non-idiomatic code…

Rust represents a major advancement in production programming languages because of its success in bridging the gap between high-level application programming and low-level systems programming. At the heart of its design lies a novel…

Context: The integration of Rust into kernel development is a transformative endeavor aimed at enhancing system security and reliability by leveraging Rust's strong memory safety guarantees. Objective: We aim to find the current advances in…

Rust is a low-level programming language known for its unique approach to memory-safe systems programming and for its steep learning curve. To understand what makes Rust difficult to adopt, we surveyed the top Reddit and Hacker News posts…

Relational program verification is a variant of program verification where one can reason about two programs and as a special case about two executions of a single program on different inputs. Relational program verification can be used for…

Rust is an emerging programming language designed for the development of systems software. To facilitate the reuse of Rust code, crates.io, as a central package registry of the Rust ecosystem, hosts thousands of third-party Rust packages.…

This article provides an introduction to Rust, a systems language by Mozilla, to programmers already familiar with Haskell, OCaml or other functional languages.

Migrating existing C programs into Rust is increasingly desired, as Rust offers superior memory safety while maintaining C's high performance. However, vastly different features between C and Rust--e.g., distinct definitions and usages of…

RustMC is a stateless model checker that enables verification of concurrent Rust programs. As both Rust and C/C++ compile to LLVM IR, RustMC builds on GenMC which provides a verification framework for LLVM IR. This enables the automatic…

Rust is a modern systems programming language that ensures memory safety by enforcing ownership and borrowing rules at compile time. While the unsafe keyword allows programmers to bypass these restrictions, it introduces significant risks.…

Advanced type systems that enforce various correctness and safety guarantees--such as linear and ownership types--have a long history in the Programming Languages research community. Despite this history, a human-centered evaluation of…

We propose a hybrid approach to end-to-end Rust verification where the proof effort is split into powerful automated verification of safe Rust and targeted semi-automated verification of unsafe Rust. To this end, we present Gillian-Rust, a…

Programming language documentation refers to the set of technical documents that provide application developers with a description of the high-level concepts of a language. Such documentation is essential to support application developers…
