SeL4 security proofs now complete on AArch64

The formal verification of the SeL4 microkernel has reached completion for the AArch64 architecture. This milestone confirms that the kernel's implementation matches its high-level specification on 64-bit ARM processors. The result extends the existing correctness guarantees to a broader range of hardware platforms used in embedded and mobile systems.

  • AArch64 is now fully covered by SeL4's formal security proofs.
  • Verifies kernel implementation matches specification on 64-bit ARM.
  • Expands trust boundaries for high-assurance embedded deployments.
  • Strengthens foundation for secure hypervisors and OS kernels.
