#!/usr/bin/env python3 # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # recovery_registry_smt.py # # SMT proof (z3) of the FAIL-CLOSED, APPEND-ONLY, REPLAY-PROOF guarantees of # AereRecoveryRegistry, the on-chain attested consensus-recovery evidence trail # authenticated by the LIVE Falcon-512 precompile (0x0AE1). Plus load-bearing # NEGATIVE CONTROLS for the per-operator nonce and for append-only. # # Contract: contracts/contracts/AereRecoveryRegistry.sol # # submitRecovery() records a recovery event ONLY if a real Falcon-512 signature by # the registered operator key over THIS contract's per-operator, per-nonce record # hash verifies on-chain (fail-closed), then appends the record and consumes the # nonce. The safety-critical guarantees: # AP. APPEND-ONLY. Records live in a push-only array; recordId is the index; there # is no edit/delete/owner path. A committed record is never rewritten. # NO. STRICTLY-INCREASING per-operator nonce. Each write consumes op.nonce and sets # op.nonce = nonce + 1; the record hash BINDS the nonce, so a (record, signature) # pair cannot be replayed to rewrite history. # FC. FAIL-CLOSED. An invalid / short / tampered Falcon-512 signature records nothing # and advances no nonce (a stale caller on an un-activated chain, where 0x0AE1 # returns empty, also records nothing). # # recordHash = keccak256(abi.encode(RECORD_DOMAIN, chainId, this, operatorId, nonce, # halt, resume, faultKind, nValidators, quorum, aliveDuringFault)) # # We model the guards / append relation as first-order constraints and prove each # property by asserting its NEGATION and showing z3 returns UNSAT. keccak256 is # modelled as an INJECTIVE function in the nonce ([VERIFY]); Falcon-512 verification # is modelled as an EUF-CMA predicate: a signature produced over message m1 verifies # ONLY for m1 ([VERIFY]: 0x0AE1 precompile soundness). Each NEG-CTRL removes exactly # one guard and shows the corresponding attack becomes SAT.
