We develop a new methodology for verifying cryptographic software. We target production code written in Rust for performance and system integration, rather than verification convenience. Rust's ownership discipline enables Aeneas to extract a pure model of this code in Lean, relieving us from low-level reasoning about pointer liveness and aliasing. Lean's extensibility lets us develop tactics and libraries that greatly simplify reasoning about extracted Rust code. We design and tune our toolchain to facilitate the use of AI. Agents autonomously write formal proofs, which are independently verified by the Lean kernel. Agents also assist in the formalization of cryptographic standards and platform-specific intrinsics, which still requires expert design and review. We apply our methodology to SymCrypt, Microsoft's cryptographic provider. We verify its implementations of algorithms such as SHA-3 and ML-KEM, which were ported from C to Rust. We also extend SymCrypt with experimental optimizations and implementations of algorithms such as FrodoKEM, ML-DSA, and HPKE to explore the scalability of writing, adapting, and verifying cryptographic code. Our 237~KLOC Lean development establishes safety, panic-freedom, and functional correctness of 16.7~KLOC of Rust code supporting post-quantum cipher suites for x86-64 and ARM platforms. Our evaluation shows that verified Rust can meet SymCrypt's performance, portability, deployment, and maintainability requirements.
