Hi everyone

I did an internship few years ago at Gemalto. They use coq for formal
verification, particularly around the JavaCard platform, and they even
publish a few things.
You can have a look at the publications of:
Quang-Huy Nguyen :
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/pers/hd/n/Nguyen_0002:Quang_Huy.html
Boutheina Chetali :
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/pers/hd/c/Chetali:Boutheina.html

We also published a paper on a formal model of a smart card web server in Coq
(http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~neron/Publi/SCWS/scws_cardis.pdf).

I think people at Prove&Run also use Coq.

Another application is the use of Coq to verify the B tool used by Siemens,
see Melanie Jacquel work
(http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/pers/hd/j/Jacquel:M=eacute=lanie.html).

Pierre.
