Let \$\newcommand{\&}[]{\text{ & }}j\$ be a strictly positive integer. \$j + 1\$ toggles all trailing set bits of \$j\$ and the adjacent unset bit. For example, \$10011_{2} + 1 = 10100_{2}\$.
Since \$~j = -(j + 1) = -j - 1\$\${\sim}j = -(j + 1) = -j - 1\$, \$-j = ~j + 1\$\$-j = {\sim}j + 1\$, so \$-n\$ applies the above to the bitwise NOT of \$j\$ (which toggles all bits), thus toggling all bits before the last \$1\$.
By taking \$j \& (-j)\$ (the bitwise AND of \$j\$ and \$-j\$), all bits before and after the last set bit are nullified (since unequal in \$j\$ and \$-j\$), thus yielding the highest power of \$2\$ that divides \$j\$ evenly.
For input \$N\$, we want to apply the above to \$N - 1\$ to find \$2^{n}\$, the highest power of \$2\$ that divides \$N - 1\$. If \$m = N - 1\$, \$-m = -(N - 1) = 1 - N\$, so \$(N - 1) \& (1 - N)\$ yields \$2^{n}\$.
All that's left to test is if \$2^{n} > k\$. If \$k > 0\$, this is true if and only if \$(2^{n})^{2} > k2^{n}\$, which is true itself if and only if \$(2^{n})^{2} \ge k2^{n} + 1 = N\$.
Finally, if \$(2^{n})^{2} = N = k2^{n} + 1\$, \$2^{n}\$ must be odd (\$1\$) so the parities of both sides can match, implying that \$k = 0\$ and \$N = 1\$. In this case \$(N - 1) \& (1 - N) = 0 \& 0 = 0\$ and \$((N - 1) \& (1 - N))^{2} = 0 < 1 = N\$.
Therefore, \$((N - 1) \& (1 - N))^{2} > N\$ is true if and only if \$N\$ is a Proth number.
