sigstore

Software supply chain security toolkit for signing, verifying, and recording the provenance of software artifacts, container images, and releases.

Overview

sigstore (most commonly used through its cosign tool) lets developers sign software artifacts - container images, binaries, release files - and lets anyone else verify those signatures came from the expected source, using short-lived certificates instead of long-term keys a team has to manage and protect. Signing events are recorded in a public, tamper-resistant transparency log.

sigstore is a fit for teams that want to verify the authenticity and integrity of software they build, publish, or consume - a supply-chain security concern distinct from Trivy's vulnerability scanning or Falco's runtime detection (also in this catalog), focused specifically on provenance and signing.
