Sigstore
A Linux Foundation-supported open-source software signing project that provides a keyless signing mechanism based on OpenID Connect, using a public transparency log (Rekor) to verify software package provenance and integrity, forming critical infrastructure for software supply chain security.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Mature tools adopt offline signing, multi-signature, transparency logs (such as Sigstore), and rollback-capable version pinning mechanisms to reduce the supply chain risk brought by self-updating.
Cosign is a container image signing tool provided by the Sigstore project.
cosign is an open-source tool under the Sigstore project, designed specifically for signing, verifying, and attesting OCI container images and artifacts.
The SLSA framework and the Sigstore project are dedicated to providing verifiable provenance attestations for build and release pipelines.
Supply chain security tools such as Sigstore/Cosign natively support signing and verifying OCI Artifacts.
GitHub introduced official signing support for Actions release artifacts (based on the Sigstore/cosign system) in 2022.
GitHub trusted signing (Sigstore/GitHub Attestations) verifies the provenance of release artifacts through cryptographic endorsement, serving as a means of strengthening npm supply chain security.
Protective mechanisms that crates.io is in the process of implementing or has already deployed include mandatory 2FA, immutability guarantees for published versions, and Sigstore-based transparency logs.
Promoting software package signing mechanisms can raise the cost of malicious packages impersonating legitimate ones, as even if an attacker registers a typosquatting package name, they cannot forge the signing credentials of the legitimate maintainer.
Sigstore is an open-source project backed by the Linux Foundation, designed to provide a keyless signing mechanism for software packages based on OpenID Connect.
