With None, the requests go to the repository itself, which works only for a server that lets this page in (CORS). This browser keeps your choice; a link cannot set it. This page needs JavaScript and WebAssembly.

Google DeepMind just mathematically verified key parts of Signal

Google DeepMind researchers used agentic AI to mathematically prove, or “formally verify,” a number of the Signal protocol’s key cryptographic guarantees—a landmark development for the widely used cryptography and AI itself. Conducted as a sort of proof-of-concept project in just four weeks, the work is significant in two ways. It serves as further independent validation of the cryptography that protects massive quantities of the world's communications on platforms like the Signal app,...
