    Abstract

    In [Corin, den Hartog in ICALP 2006] we build a formal verification technique for game based correctness proofs of cryptograhic algorithms based on a probabilistic Hoare style logic [den Hartog, de Vink in IJFCS 13(3), 2002]. An important step towards enabling mechanized verification within this technique is an axiomatization of implication between predicates which is purely semantically defined in [den Hartog, de Vink in IJFCS 13(3), 2002]. In this paper we provide an axiomatization and illustrate its place in the formal verification technique of [Corin, den Hartog in ICALP 2006].
