+#+begin_abstract
+All good implementations of any algorithm should be correct and fast. To
+maximise performance some algorithms are written in hand-tuned assembly. This
+can introduce subtle bugs that invalidate correctness or other safety
+properties. Whilst tools exists to help formally verify these algorithms, none
+are designed to target the recent M-profile Vector Extension for the Armv8.1-M
+architecture. This work describes a denotational and Hoare logic semantics for
+the language used to specify the instructions, and attempts to use them to
+formally verify the correctness of hand-written assembly for cryptographic
+applications.
