We present a formal verification of the functional correctness of the Muen Separation Kernel. Muen is representative of the class of modern separation kernels that leverage hardware virtualization support, and are generative in nature in that they generate a specialized kernel for each system configuration. We propose a verification framework called conditional parametric refinement which allows us to formally reason about generative systems. We use this framework to prove the correctness of Muen. Our analysis of several system configurations shows that our technique is effective in producing mechanized proofs of correctness, and also in identifying issues that may compromise the separation property. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
