Lightweight Hypervisor Verification: Putting the Hardware Burger on a Diet

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Hypervisors are an essential part of our computing infrastructure, yet ensuring their correctness remains a significant challenge for the community. While several hypervisors have been formally verified using traditional methods, they have typically required a huge effort and significant input from verification experts. With the increasing diversity of hypervisors, driven by open hardware and custom ISAs, there is a growing need for more accessible approaches that can be used by non-experts.
