Galois

Galois applies cutting edge computer science and mathematics to solve difficult technological problems.
🚨 Paper accepted! Congrats to Galwegians Santiago Cuéllar, James Parker, Stuart Pernsteiner + co-authors Bill Harris, Ian Sweet & Eran Tromer on "Cheesecloth: ZK Proofs of Real-World Vulnerabilities” being accepted for publication in ACM TOPS! Read it!: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/37…
In his latest article, "Specifications Don't Exist," Galois Principal Scientist Mike Dodds explores formal specifications, informal specifications, and the inescapable burden of having to clarify our ideas. Give it a read! galois.com/articles/speci…

Shout out to Galois intern Mark Moeller, who is presenting “Active Learning of Symbolic NetKAT Automata” at #PLDI2025 in Seoul on Wed, June 18! If you’re at PLDI, swing by to say “Hi,” chat about Galois, and nerd out on automata & #NetKAT for packet-switched networks!
At Galois, we often say things like: “Formal methods form the backbone of everything we do.” But what exactly are formal methods? How do they work, and why are they so important? We created a handy reference page to explain: galois.com/what-are-forma…

What actually works when selling formal methods in industry? What doesn't? The way Galois Principal Mike Dodds sees it, many FM projects don’t pencil out not because clients are irrational, but because the cost/benefit tradeoffs don’t make sense. galois.com/articles/what-…
