Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP) is an annual international
academic conference on the topic of
automated theorem proving,
proof assistants and related topics, ranging from theoretical foundations to implementation aspects and applications in
program verification,
security
Security is protection from, or resilience against, potential harm (or other unwanted coercive change) caused by others, by restraining the freedom of others to act. Beneficiaries (technically referents) of security may be of persons and social ...

formalization of mathematics.
ITP brings together the communities using many systems based on higher-order logic such as

Together with
CADE and

International Joint Conference on Automated Reasoning (IJCAR) whenever it convenes,
History
The inaugural meeting of ITP was held on 11–14 July 2010 in Edinburgh, Scotland, as part of the Federated Logic Conference. It is the extension of the Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics (TPHOLs) conference series to the broad field of interactive theorem proving. TPHOLs meetings took place every year from 1988 until 2009.
The first three were informal users' meetings for the
