## Key points

- DeepMind used AI to verify parts of the Signal protocol.
- The review found no new flaws in the sections checked.
- Scaling the approach affordably remains uncertain.

## Summary

Google DeepMind used its AlphaProof Code AI framework to formally check parts of the Signal protocol, which underpins private messaging on Signal, Google Messages and WhatsApp. The four-week research project found no new vulnerabilities in the sections examined, offering additional evidence about their security while demonstrating how AI could help speed up software verification.

The work did not verify the entire Signal app, and the researchers describe it as an early step towards applying the method more widely. AlphaProof Code also identified known vulnerabilities in older Signal versions. DeepMind is releasing its specification and proof, but the cost and practicality of scaling AI-assisted verification remain open questions; Google did not disclose the project’s cost or plans for a commercial service.
