Bayes Security (β*, higher better) of DP-SGD against membership and attribute inference on the Adult and Purchase datasets as a function of the number of training steps. The green dashed line shows the corresponding DP budget (ε). Membership and attribute inference curves decrease monotonically as the model is trained for longer and the accuracy and DP budget grow.

Verifying Rust cryptography in SymCrypt, from standards to code

July 13, 2026 | Son Ho, Cédric Fournet, Antoine Delignat-Lavaud, Samuel Lee, Jason Fisher, Jessica Krynitsky

Cryptographic code supports vital protections in modern computing systems. Learn how a new method helps verify code as developers write it while preserving speed and adaptability as it gets implemented and evolves.

Diagram showing the process of verifying cryptographic code. An algorithm from a standard is converted into a formal specification, while Rust code is converted into a code model. The specification and code model are then compared through proof and verification steps.
