Towards Easier, More Secure Signature Technology for the Java Ecosystem with Sigstore
In October 2022, the Sigstore project announced the General Availability of its free software signing service giving open source communities access to production-grade services for artifact signing and verification. As the project matures, so do the language client integrations that are actively being developed. In January 2023, sigstore-python announced the 1.0 version of Sigstore for Python. The Java community has always taken a mature approach to security. So it should come as no surprise that there is plenty of activity towards integrating Sigstore into the existing ecosystem and offering first-class support for software signing and verification with Sigstore.
