Summary
hax, an open-source tool from Cryspen, translates Rust into formal languages including F*, Rocq (Coq), Lean, EasyCrypt, and ProVerif via a cargo subcommand. It enforces a functional Rust subset by forbidding mutable references on return types, enabling high-assurance verification of cryptographic protocols and general proofs. Installation supports Nix, Docker, and manual setup.
