Changelog

All notable changes to sigstore-python will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

All versions prior to 0.9.0 are untracked.

Changed

  • CLI: When verifying, the --offline flag now fully disables all online operations, including routine local TUF repository refreshes (#1143)

  • sigstore-python's minimum supported Python version is now 3.9

Fixed

  • CLI: The sigstore verify subcommands now always check for a matching input file, rather than unconditionally falling back to matching on a valid sha256:... digest pattern (#1152)

Added

  • CLI: The sigstore verify command now outputs the inner in-toto statement when verifying DSSE envelopes. If verification is successful, the output will be the inner in-toto statement. This allows the user to see the statement's predicate, which sigstore-python does not verify and should be verified by the user.

  • CLI: The sigstore attest subcommand has been added. This command is similar to cosign attest in that it signs over an artifact and a predicate using a DSSE envelope. This commands requires the user to pass a path to the file containing the predicate, and the predicate type. Currently only the SLSA Provenance v0.2 and v1.0 types are supported.

  • CLI: The sigstore verify command now supports verifying digests. This means that the user can now pass a digest like sha256:aaaa.... instead of the path to an artifact, and sigstore-python will verify it as if it was the artifact with that digest.

Added

  • API: models.Bundle.BundleType is now a public API (#1089)

  • CLI: The sigstore plumbing subcommand hierarchy has been added. This hierarchy is for developer-only interactions, such as fixing malformed Sigstore bundles. These subcommands are not considered stable until explicitly documented as such. (#1089)

Changed

  • CLI: The default console logger now emits to stderr, rather than stdout (#1089)

Added

  • API: dsse.StatementBuilder has been added. It can be used to construct an in-toto Statement for subsequent enveloping and signing. This API is public but is not considered stable until the next major release. (#1077)

  • API: dsse.Digest, dsse.DigestSet, and dsse.Subject have been added. These types can be used with the StatementBuilder API as part of in-toto Statement construction. These API are public but are not considered stable until the next major release. (#1078)

Changed

  • API: verify_dsse now rejects bundles with DSSE envelopes that have more than one signature, rather than checking all signatures against the same key (#1062)

Maintainers' note: this is a major release, with significant public API and CLI changes. We strongly recommend you read the entries below to fully understand the changes between 2.x and 3.x.

Added

  • API: Signer.sign_artifact() has been added, replacing the removed Signer.sign() API

  • API: Signer.sign_dsse() has been added. It takes an in-toto Statement as an input, producing a DSSE-formatted signature rather than a "bare" signature (#804)

  • API: "v3" Sigstore bundles are now supported during verification (#901)

  • API: Verifier.verify(...) can now take a Hashed as an input, performing signature verification on a pre-computed hash value (#904)

  • API: The sigstore.dsse module has been been added, including APIs for representing in-toto statements and DSSE envelopes (#930)

  • CLI: The --trust-config flag has been added as a global option, enabling consistent "BYO PKI" uses of sigstore with a single flag (#1010)

  • CLI: The sigstore verify subcommands can now verify bundles containing DSSE entries, such as those produced by GitHub Artifact Attestations (#1015)

Removed

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: SigningResult has been removed. The public signing APIs now return sigstore.models.Bundle.

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: VerificationMaterials has been removed. The public verification APIs now accept sigstore.models.Bundle.

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: Signer.sign(...) has been removed. Use either sign_artifact(...) or sign_dsse(...), depending on whether you're signing opaque bytes or an in-toto statement.

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: VerificationResult has been removed. The public verification and policy APIs now raise sigstore.errors.VerificationError on failure.

  • BREAKING CLI CHANGE: The --rekor-url and --fulcio-url flags have been entirely removed. To configure a custom PKI, use --trust-config (#1010)

Changed

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: Verifier.verify(...) now takes a bytes | Hashed as its verification input, rather than implicitly receiving the input through the VerificationMaterials parameter (#904)

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: VerificationMaterials.rekor_entry(...) now takes a Hashed parameter to convey the digest used for Rekor entry lookup (#904)

  • BREAKING API CHANGE: Verifier.verify(...) now takes a sigstore.models.Bundle, instead of a VerificationMaterials (#937)

  • BREAKING CLI CHANGE: sigstore sign now emits {input}.sigstore.json by default instead of {input}.sigstore, per the client specification (#1007)

  • sigstore-python now requires inclusion proofs in all signing and verification flows, regardless of bundle version of input types. Inputs that do not have an inclusion proof (such as detached materials) cause an online lookup before any further processing is performed (#937)

  • sigstore-python now generates "v3" bundles by default during signing (#937)

  • CLI: Bundles are now always verified offline. The offline flag has no effect. (#937)

  • CLI: "Detached" materials are now always verified online, due to a lack of an inclusion proof. Passing --offline with detached materials will cause an error (#937)

  • API: sigstore.transparency has been removed, and its pre-existing APIs have been re-homed under sigstore.models (#990)

  • API: oidc.IdentityToken.expected_certificate_subject has been renamed to oidc.IdentityToken.federated_issuer to better describe what it actually contains. No functional changes have been made to it (#1016)

  • API: policy.Identity now takes an optional OIDC issuer, rather than a required one (#1015)

  • CLI: sigstore verify github now requires --cert-identity or --repository, not just --cert-identity (#1015)

Fixed

  • Backported b32ad1bd (slsa-github-generator upgrade) to make release possible

Fixed

  • Pinned securesystemslib dependency strictly to prevent future breakage

Fixed

  • Loosened a version constraint on the sigstore-protobuf-specs dependency, to ease use in testing environments (#943)

This is a corrective release for 2.1.1.

Fixed

  • Fixed an incorrect assumption about Rekor checkpoints that future releases of Rekor will not uphold (#891)

Added

  • CLI: sigstore verify's subcommands now discover {input}.sigstore.json by default, in addition to the previous {input}.sigstore. The former now takes precedence over the latter, and supplying both results in an error (#820)

Fixed

  • CLI: When using --certificate-chain, read as bytes instead of str as expected by the underlying API (#796)

Added

  • CLI: sigstore sign and sigstore get-identity-token now support the --oauth-force-oob option; which has the same behavior as the preexisting SIGSTORE_OAUTH_FORCE_OOB environment variable (#667)

  • Version 0.2 of the Sigstore bundle format is now supported (#705)

  • API addition: VerificationMaterials.to_bundle() is a new public API for producing a standard Sigstore bundle from sigstore-python's internal representation (#719)

  • API addition: New method sign.SigningResult.to_bundle() allows signing applications to serialize to the bundle format that is already usable in verification with verify.VerificationMaterials.from_bundle() (#765)

Changed

  • sigstore verify now performs additional verification of Rekor's inclusion proofs by cross-checking them against signed checkpoints (#634)

  • A cached copy of the trust bundle is now included with the distribution (#611)

  • Stopped emitting .sig and .crt signing outputs by default in sigstore sign. Sigstore bundles are now preferred (#614)

  • Trust root configuration now assumes that the TUF repository contains a trust bundle, rather than falling back to deprecated individual targets (#626)

  • API change: the sigstore.oidc.IdentityToken API has been stabilized as a wrapper for OIDC tokens (#635)

  • API change: Signer.sign now takes a sigstore.oidc.IdentityToken for its identity argument, rather than a "raw" OIDC token (#635)

  • API change: Issuer.identity_token now returns a sigstore.oidc.IdentityToken, rather than a "raw" OIDC token (#635)

  • sigstore verify is not longer a backwards-compatible alias for sigstore verify identity, as it was during the 1.0 release series (#642)

  • API change: the Signer API has been broken up into SigningContext and Signer, allowing a SigningContext to create individual Signer instances that correspond to a single IdentityToken. This new API also enables ephemeral key and certificate reuse across multiple inputs, reducing the number of cryptographic operations and network roundtrips required when signing more than one input (#645)

  • sigstore sign now uses an ephemeral P-256 keypair, rather than P-384 (#662)

  • API change: RekorClientError does not try to always parse response content as JSON (#694)

  • API change: LogEntry.inclusion_promise can now be None, but only if LogEntry.inclusion_proof is not None (#705)

  • sigstore-python's minimum supported Python version is now 3.8 (#745)

Fixed

  • Fixed a case where sigstore verify would fail to verify an otherwise valid inclusion proof due to an incorrect timerange check (#633)

  • Removed an unnecessary and backwards-incompatible parameter from the sigstore.oidc.detect_credential API (#641)

  • Fixed a case where sigstore sign (and sigstore verify) could fail while using a private instance due to a missing due to a missing ExtendedKeyUsage in the CA. We now enforce the fact that the TBSPrecertificate signer must be a valid CA (#658)

  • Fixed a case where identity token retrieval would produce an unhelpful error message (#767)

Fixed

  • Updated the staging-root.json for recent changes to the Sigstore staging instance (#602)

  • Switched TUF requests to their CDN endpoints, rather than direct GCS access (#609)

Added

  • sigstore sign now supports the --output-directory flag, which places default outputs in the specified directory. Without this flag, default outputs are placed adjacent to the signing input. (#627)

  • The whole test suite can now be run locally with make test-interactive. (#576) Users will be prompted to authenticate with their identity provider twice to generate staging and production OIDC tokens, which are used to test the sigstore.sign module. All signing tests need to be completed before token expiry, which is currently 60 seconds after issuance.

  • Network-related errors from the sigstore._internal.tuf module now have better diagnostics. (#525)

Changed

  • Replaced ambient credential detection logic with the id package (#535)

  • Revamped error diagnostics reporting. All errors with diagnostics now implement sigstore.errors.Error.

  • Trust root materials are now retrieved from a single trust bundle, if it is available via TUF (#542)

  • Improved diagnostics around Signed Certificate Timestamp verification failures. (#555)

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug in TUF target handling revealed by changes to the production and staging TUF repos (#522)

Added

  • sigstore sign now supports Sigstore bundles, which encapsulate the same state as the default {input}.crt, {input}.sig, and {input}.rekor files combined. The default output for the Sigstore bundle is {input}.sigstore; this can be disabled with --no-bundle or changed with --bundle <FILE> (#465)

  • sigstore verify now supports Sigstore bundles. By default, sigstore looks for an {input}.sigstore; this can be changed with --bundle <FILE> or the legacy method of verification can be used instead via the --signature and --certificate flags (#478)

  • sigstore verify identity and sigstore verify github now support the --offline flag, which tells sigstore to do offline transparency log entry verification. This option replaces the unstable --require-rekor-offline option, which has been removed (#478)

Fixed

  • Constrained our dependency on pyOpenSSL to >= 23.0.0 to prevent a runtime error caused by incompatible earlier versions (#448)

Removed

  • --rekor-bundle and --require-rekor-offline have been removed entirely, as their functionality have been wholly supplanted by Sigstore bundle support and the new sigstore verify --offline flag (#478)

Changed

  • sigstore.rekor is now sigstore.transparency, and its constituent APIs have been renamed to removed implementation detail references (#402)

  • sigstore.transparency.RekorEntryMissing is now LogEntryMissing (#414)

Fixed

  • The TUF network timeout has been relaxed from 4 seconds to 30 seconds, which should reduce the likelihood of spurious timeout errors in environments like GitHub Actions (#432)

Added

  • sigstore now supports the -v/--verbose flag as an alternative to SIGSTORE_LOGLEVEL for debug logging (#372)

  • The sigstore verify identity has been added, and is functionally equivalent to the existing sigstore verify subcommand. sigstore verify is unchanged, but will be marked deprecated in a future stable version of sigstore-python (#379)

  • sigstore now has a public, importable Python API! You can find its documentation here (#383)

  • sigstore --staging is now the intended way to request Sigstore's staging instance, rather than per-subcommand options like sigstore sign --staging. The latter is unchanged, but will be marked deprecated in a future stable version of sigstore-python (#383)

  • The per-subcommand options --rekor-url and --rekor-root-pubkey have been moved to the top-level sigstore command. Their subcommand forms are unchanged and will continue to work, but will be marked deprecated in a future stable version of sigstore-python (#381)

  • sigstore verify github has been added, allowing for verification of GitHub-specific claims within given certificate(s) (#381)

Changed

  • The default behavior of SIGSTORE_LOGLEVEL has changed; the logger configured is now the sigstore.* hierarchy logger, rather than the "root" logger (#372)

  • The caching mechanism used for TUF has been changed slightly, to use more future-proof paths (#373)

Fixed

  • Fulcio certificate handling now includes "inactive" but still valid certificates, allowing users to verify older signatures without custom certificate chains (#386)

Added

  • sigstore verify now supports --certificate-chain and --rekor-url during verification. Ordinary uses (i.e. the default or --staging) are not affected (#323)

Changed

  • sigstore sign and sigstore verify now stream their input, rather than consuming it into a single buffer (#329)

  • A series of Python 3.11 deprecation warnings were eliminated (#341)

  • The "splash" page presented to users during the OAuth flow has been updated to reflect the user-friendly page added to cosign (#356)

  • sigstore now uses TUF to retrieve its trust material for Fulcio and Rekor, replacing the material that was previously baked into sigstore._store (#351)

Removed

  • CLI: The --certificate-chain, --rekor-root-pubkey and -ctfe flags have been entirely removed (#936)
