Google DeepMind researchers used AlphaProof Code to mathematically verify key cryptographic guarantees of the Signal protocol in a four-week proof-of-concept project, WIRED reported. The framework also correctly identified known, fixed vulnerabilities when tested against older protocol versions. Researchers are releasing their specification and proof to support further verification work.

The process combines AI agents with human input and review. It built on earlier Signal Foundation verification work and did not verify the entire Signal mobile app. Google declined to disclose the analysis cost or plans for a commercial verification service, leaving the economics of broader deployment unresolved.
