Altran Praxis and AdaCore have released SPARKSkein - a new reference
implementation of Skein-512 written and verified using the SPARK
language and toolset. In particular, this release includes a complete
proof of type-safety for the implementation, test cases for structural
coverage, performance, and the reference test vectors from the Skein
specification. Performance is very close to that of the C reference
implementation.

Check it out at www.skein-hash.info

There's also a technical paper describing the implementation and
results, available from
the same place.
