agentskillexchange Sigstore Cosign Verifier
Automates container image signature verification using Cosign CLI and the Rekor transparency log API. Validates SLSA provenance attestations and checks Fulcio certificate chains for keyless signing.
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- $ git clone https://github.com/sigstore/cosign
- $ go install ./cmd/cosign
- $ docker push $IMAGE_URI
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- {"Critical":{"Identity":{"docker-reference":""},"Image":{"Docker-manifest-digest":"sha256:87ef60f558bad79beea6425a3b28989f01dd417164150ab3baab98dcbf04def8"},"Type":"cosign container image signature"},"Optional":null}
- Note: Most verification workflows require periodically requesting service keys from a TUF repository.
- Verification fails with failed to verify timestamps: threshold not met for verified log entry integrated timestamps: 0 < 1: You may be verifying a signature that requires RFC3161 timestamp support
