[Podman] Re: image signing

Hi, Cosign looks interesting but does not seem to feature the nice verification integration podman offers with the build in signing support. So it does not seem to protect from unsigned images if I simply invoke podman run, which was the nice part of the existing solution.

Our requirements actually changed a bit. First of all we need a sha512 for the container as sha256 is not considered safe enough. Secondly we need the signing to happen with a specific algorithm. Actually we want to sign the image with multiple algorithms in parallel.

So I maybe the best solution would be to somehow provide a plug point for the verification (the defect also seems to suggest something like that in the last update). The code could be invoked after the image was pulled into the local registry and then a handle to image is passed. The plugin could now either take the existing hash for the image or calculate a new one, verify the signature in what ever way required and then return the verification result. Cosign could be integrating in that way as well and would now be able to prevent podman from starting illegal images. Just not sure how such a plugin integration might work. regards, Hendrik On 3/24/21 9:18 PM, Scott McCarty wrote: > Hendrik/All, >     I'm reviving this thread because we are taking a look at a cool > new project called Cosign [1][2][3].
