"Signing Images with Docker Content Trust" explains how cryptographic container image signatures work w/ Docker Notary (TUF) https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/trust/#signing-image...

The TUF spec (and PyPI TUF PEPs) explains why a tar over https (with optional DNSSEC, a CA cert bundle, CRL, OCSP,) isn't sufficient for secure software distribution. "#ZeroTrust DevOps"; #DevSecOps

What's the favorite package format with content signatures, key distribution, a keyring of trusted (authorized) keys, and a cryptographically-signed manifest of per-file hashes, permissions, and extended file attributes? FWIW, ZIP at least does a CRC32.

We now have the Linux Foundation CNCF sigstore for any artifact, including OCI container images.

W3C ld-proofs is a newer web standard that unfortunately all package managers haven't yet migrated to. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29355786

Because ld-proofs is RDF, it works in JSON-LD and you could merge the entire SBOM [1] and e.g. CodeMeta [2] Linked Data metadata for all of the standardized-metadata-documented components in a stack.
