摘要:
A method for formal verification of a digital circuit using a cloud-based verification engine. The method comprises extracting a proof problem from a design of a digital circuit with a local processor, reducing said proof problem to proof relevant data, encrypting said reduced proof problem, transmitting said encrypted reduced proof problem to a remote server, decrypting said encrypted reduced proof problem at said remote server, storing said reduced proof problem in a memory at said remote server, running a proof on said reduced proof problem at said remote server to generate a proof result; encrypting said proof result at said remote server; transmitting said encrypted proof result to said local processor; decrypting said encrypted proof result at said local processor; and reconstructing a verification result of said digital circuit design at said local processor using said decrypted proof result.
