| Abstract | The Isabelle Insider and Infrastructure framework (IIIf) supports formal security engineering by using attack trees to identify attacks that lead to security improvements by refinement. Based on the interactive theorem prover Isabelle, the framework combines mathematical rigor with automation for interactive proofs. However, this process is highly complex and applying it to realistic case study is challenging in terms of time and expert knowledge. Integrating generative AI into this process of formal security engineering appears inevitable. In this paper, we illustrate the IIIf on summarizing and improving a previous case study of the Corona Warning App (CWA). This provides a relevant basis for using Claude Code as a proof-copilot for IIIf refinements. We derive an alternative refinement for CWA that represents a more realistic solution. Based on this experience, we extract rules and heuristics for proof-copiloting of security engineering in IIIf and define valid refinement contexts. |
