Spooky Updates for Sigstore!

October is almost done, so it’s time for another update! The supply chains are clearly haunted, so this one has a spooky theme. The community is still growing quickly, and the fancy new “Contributor Strength” dashboard reflects it! In other numbers, we’re at 820 commits from 85 committers, and our slack channel has reached 710 members! Keep the PRs coming everyone! The Sigstore talk at Kubecon went very well, and the Sigstore booth was a huge success!

It’s ten o’clock, do you know where your private keys are?

Short-lived certificates are great — a short lifetime removes the need for complicated revocation policies and reduces an attacker’s window of opportunity. Yet using short-lived certificates in the software supply chain brings a lifetime problem: how can users trust artifacts after the certificate’s expiration? Repeatedly signing artifacts and requesting certificates is tedious. Really, distributors only need to prove that artifacts were signed when the certificate was valid… with timestamps! Enter SigStore’s new, free, open-source RFC 3161 timestamping service on the transparency log Rekor!
