It works by wrapping commands executed in a continuous integration process. Its attestation system is pluggable and offers support out of the box for most major CI and infrastructure providers.

Each attestor has a `Name`, `Type`, and `RunType`. The `Type` is a versioned string corresponding to the JSON schema of the attestation. For example, the AWS attestor is defined as follows: - -``` - Name = "aws" - Type = "https://witness.dev/attestations/aws/v0.1" - RunType = attestation.PreRunType -``` - -The attestation types are used when we evaluate policy against these attestations. - -## Attestor Security Model - -Attestations are only as secure as the data that feeds them. Where possible cryptographic material should be validated, evidence of validation should be included in the attestation for out-of-band validation. - -Examples of cryptographic validation is found in the [GCP](https://github.com/in-toto/go-witness/blob/main/attestation/gcp-iit/gcp-iit.go), [AWS](https://github.com/in-toto/go-witness/blob/main/attestation/aws-iid/aws-iid.go), and [GitLab](https://github.com/in-toto/go-witness/blob/main/attestation/gitlab/gitlab.go) attestors. - -## Attestor Life Cycle - -- **Pre-material:** Pre-material attestors run before any other attestors. These attestors generally collect information about the environment. - -- **Material:** Material attestors run after any prematerial attestors and prior to any execute attestors. Generally these collect information about state that may change after any execute attestors, such as file hashes. - -- **Execute:**: Execute attestors run after any material attestors and generally record information about some command or process that is to be executed. - -- **Product:** Product attestors run after any execute attestors and generally record information about what changed during the execute lifecycle step, such as changed or created files. - -- **Post-product:** Post-product attestors run after product attestors and generally record some additional information about specific products, such as OCI image information from a saved image tarball. - -### Attestation Lifecycle - -![](docs/assets/attestation.png) - -## Attestor Types - -### Pre-material Attestors -- [AWS](docs/attestors/aws-iid.md) - Attestor for AWS Instance Metadata -- [GCP](docs/attestors/gcp-iit.md) - Attestor for GCP Instance Identity Service -- [GitLab](docs/attestors/gitlab.md) - Attestor for GitLab Pipelines -- [Git](docs/attestors/git.md) - Attestor for Git Repository -- [Maven](docs/attestors/maven.md) Attestor for Maven Projects -- [Environment](docs/attestors/environment.md) - Attestor for environment variables (**_be careful with this - there is no way to mask values yet_**) -- [JWT](docs/attestors/jwt.md) - Attestor for JWT Tokens - -### Material Attestors -- [Material](docs/attestors/material.md) - Records secure hashes of files in current working directory - -### Execute Attestors -- [CommandRun](docs/attestors/commandrun.md) - Records traces and metadata about the actual process being run - -### Product Attestors -- [Product](docs/attestors/product.md) - Records secure hashes of files produced by commandrun attestor (only detects new files) - -### Post-product Attestors - -- [OCI](docs/attestors/oci.md) - Attestor for tar'd OCI images - -### AttestationCollection - -An `attestationCollection` is a collection of attestations that are cryptographically bound together. Because the attestations are bound together, we can trust that they all happened as part of the same attesation life cycle. Witness policy defines which attestations are required. - -### Attestor Subjects - -Attestors define subjects that act as lookup indexes. The attestationCollection can be looked up by any of the subjects defined by the attestors. - -## Witness Policy - -### What is a witness policy? - -A witness policy is a signed document that encodes the requirements for an artifact to be validated. A witness policy includes public keys for trusted functionaries, which attestations must be found, and rego policy to evaluate against the attestation meta-data. - -I witness policy allowers administrators trace the compliance status of an artifact at any point during it's lifecycle. - -## Witness Verification - -### Verification Lifecycle - -![](docs/assets/verification.png) - -## Using [SPIRE](https://github.com/spiffe/spire) for Keyless Signing - -Witness can consume ephemeral keys from a [SPIRE](https://github.com/spiffe/spire) node agent. Configure witness with the flag `--spiffe-socket` to enable keyless signing. - -During the verification process witness will use the [Rekor](https://github.com/sigstore/rekor) integrated time to make a determination on certificate validity. The SPIRE certificate only needs to remain valid long enough for the attestation to be integrated into the Rekor log. - -## Witness Examples - -- [Using Witness To Prevent SolarWinds Type Attacks](examples/solarwinds/README.md) -- [Using Witness To Find Artifacts With Hidden Vulnerable Log4j Dependencies](examples/log4shell/README.md) - -## Media - -- [Blog - What is a supply chain attestation, and why do I need it?](https://www.testifysec.com/blog/what-is-a-supply-chain-attestation/) -- [Talk - Securing the Software Supply Chain with the in-toto & SPIRE projects](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lFbdkB62QI) -- [Talk - Securing the Software Supply Chain with SBOM and Attestation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX6aTZfpJv0) - -## Roadmap - -- Attestors for all major platforms -- CaC Card Attestor -- GovCloud Attestor -- OIDC Attestor -- FIDO Attestor -- Vault Key Provider -- Cloud KMS Support -- Kubernetes Admission Controller -- SIEM Collection Agent -- Cosign Signature Validation -- Notary v2 Signature Validation -- [Zarf](https://github.com/defenseunicorns/zarf) Integration -- IronBank Attestor - -## Support - -[TestifySec](https://testifysec.com) Provides support for witness and other CI security tools. -[Contact Us](mailto:info@testifysec.com) +Features: +- Creation and signing of in-toto attestations From 7205474c7848b69acfccc6b231f4bc3850991096 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chaosinthecrd Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2023 12:44:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/5] README progress --- README.md | 16 +++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index dbb79618..d18c1e0f 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,5 +1,19 @@ # go-witness A client library for [Witness](https://github.com/in-toto/witness), written in Go. -Features: +[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/in-toto/go-witness.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/in-toto/go-witness) +[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/in-toto/go-witness)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/in-toto/go-witness) +[![OpenSSF-Scorecard](https://api.securityscorecards.dev/projects/github.com/in-toto/go-witness/badge)](https://api.securityscorecards.dev/projects/github.com/in-toto/go-witness) +## Features - Creation and signing of in-toto attestations +- Verification of in-toto attestations and associated signatures with: + - Witness policy engine + - [OPA Rego policy language](https://www.openpolicyagent.org/docs/latest/policy-language/) +- A growing list of attestor types defined under a common interface +- A selection of attestation sources to search for attestation collections + +## Documentation +For more detail regarding the library itself, we recommend viewing [pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/testifysec/go-witness).
