Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification

Self-Assess

v1.0 GA (2024)
8 domains
17 controls

Sigstore is a set of open-source tools for signing, verifying, and protecting software artifacts. Created by Google, Red Hat, and Purdue University, now under the OpenSSF. Components: Cosign (container and artifact signing), Fulcio (certificate authority for ephemeral certificates), Rekor (transparency log), and Gitsign (git commit signing). Sigstore enables keyless signing using OIDC identity (GitHub, Google, Microsoft accounts). Used by npm, PyPI, Kubernetes, Homebrew, and major package ecosystems. Over 20 million signatures in the public Rekor transparency log. Adopted by Kubernetes as the standard for supply chain security.

Verified

Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification is a compliance framework from International (OpenSSF) with 8 domains and 17 controls that map to 120 other frameworks. The largest domains are Sigstore: Cosign Signing and Storage (4 controls), Sigstore: Fulcio Certificate Authority (3 controls), Sigstore: Rekor Transparency Log (3 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Compare Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification with NIST SP 800-171A Rev 3 - Assessing CUI Security Requirements

What is Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification and who does it apply to?

Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification is a compliance framework from International (OpenSSF) with 8 domains and 17 controls. Sigstore is a set of open-source tools for signing, verifying, and protecting software artifacts. Created by Google, Red Hat, and Purdue University, now under the OpenSSF. Components: Cosign (container and artifact signing), Fulcio (certificate authority for ephemeral certificates), Rekor (transparency log), and Gitsign (git commit signing). Sigstore enables keyless signing using OIDC identity (GitHub, Google, Microsoft accounts). Used by npm, PyPI, Kubernetes, Homebrew, and major package ecosystems. Over 20 million signatures in the public Rekor transparency log. Adopted by Kubernetes as the standard for supply chain security. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification actually require?

Sigstore - Software Artifact Signing and Verification has 17 controls organised across 8 domains. The largest domains are Sigstore: Cosign Signing and Storage (4 controls), Sigstore: Fulcio Certificate Authority (3 controls), Sigstore: Rekor Transparency Log (3 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.
