What it supplies: The README presents in-toto as a framework that protects supply chain integrity by verifying steps, authorized functionaries and untampered products.
Useful for: - Define a layout of steps and authorized functionaries for a build pipeline.
- Record signed link metadata as each step runs.
- Verify the released product against the layout and links.
First action: - Install with pip install in-toto.
- Create a layout as project owner and sign it.
- Run steps so functionaries produce signed links, then verify.
Prerequisites and limits: The README gives no Python version in the text read and points to its documentation for system dependencies.
- The README is a conceptual overview; the demo and detailed usage are in linked docs not read here.
- Verification depends on trusted functionary keys.
The README text read states no licence, so check the repository licence file. Keys used for signing are yours to manage.
Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
Based on opening, install and layout README text only; later sections and code were not read. Nothing was installed or run.
