cosign Verification of npm Provenance, GitHub Artifact Attestations, and Homebrew Provenance

One of the features of the cosign v2.4.0 release allows you to verify attestations in the bundle format used by npm provenance, GitHub Artifact Attestations, and Homebrew provenance. This is part of all Sigstore clients supporting the bundle format as outlined in the community roadmap. We’ll show how to perform that verification for each ecosystem, and explain some of the details involved. You’ll notice these examples follow the same general pattern of getting an artifact to verify, getting the bundle that contains the signed attestation about that artifact, and then providing a verification policy to cosign via command line flags.

sigstore-go verification and signing now in beta

sigstore-go verification and signing now in beta Recent sigstore-go releases include signing support, as well moving both the verification and signing API from unstable to beta. sigstore-go is used in several open source projects like the SLSA verifier, the GitHub CLI, and Stacklok Minder. Cosign and sigstore-go are similar in that they are both written in Go, but the main differences are that sigstore-go is not a full-fledged CLI, and that it supports the protobuf bundle format.

Homebrew's Sigstore-powered provenance is in beta

Last November, Alpha-Omega and Trail of Bits announced a collaboration to bring build provenance to homebrew-core. Today, we are pleased to announce that the core of that work is live and in public beta: homebrew-core is now using Sigstore to cryptographically attest to all bottles built in the official Homebrew CI. This is aligned with Sigstore’s mission: to support frictionless and transparent provenance on all artifact registries. Homebrew’s build provenance follows last year’s npm provenance feature, making Homebrew the second major packaging ecosystem to adopt Sigstore!
