Hi,cosign is a demonstration, the current thought is we will integrate cosign directly into podman so that podman sign, run, build will all be able to work with sigstore.
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.Add Luke Hinds to conversation, since he is one of the people behind sigstore, to get his ideas.
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

Hendrik/All,I'm reviving this thread because we are taking a look at a cool new project called Cosign [1][2][3]. He briefly mentioned that he has a roadmap to handle key storing devices like Yubikeys and I thought about this email thread (yes, my memory is strange like that). With a little searching I found it and decided to revive it. I'm also tracking a RHEL feature which could potentially implement this.
I'd love feedback from the people on this thread. Many of you seem to have very crisp use cases around keys, know podman, and have strong opinions (which is good). Product Managers love feedback from the community :-) Thoughts?
Also feel free to continue discussion in the GitHub issue [4].

Hendrik,Thank you for capturing this. We really appreciate it. I've added it to our backlog to discuss at our next planning meeting. I also tagged Mitr (security ninja) in to take a look.

Hendrik,Thank you for helping me get my brain around this potential feature. We very much appreciate these kinds of ideas. Currently, we are working heavily on the Podman API V2, but I have captured this as a backlogged feature that we will discuss in upcoming planning sessions. I've also captured this thread to come back to it and update when we get a chance to discuss and think about it further.

Hi Scott,
we would like to sign images using an HSM and those provide PKCS#11 (https://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/pciecc/overview, https://www.yubico.com/product/yubihsm-2, https://www.nitrokey.com/#comparison) and there does not seem to be any proper connection from that to the OpenPGP world. The only thing I found might be https://github.com/alonbl/gnupg-pkcs11-scd and that looks also a bit limited and dated. I'm currently especially interested in a way to use that IBM crypto card. A relatively easy solution might be to just store the signature hash in the signature file. To verify that it seem to be enough to something like "openssl dgst -sha256 -verify public.pem -signature manifest.sig manifest.json". My understanding so far is that this is actually a PKCS#1 hash calculation. Anyhow if I could get podman doing that openssl call instead of openpgp things would be working for me.
regards,
Hendrik

Hendrik,That's all that's supported today. Do you have any other tools you would be looking for?

Hi,
is OpenPGP the only supported image signing open supported by podman /
skopeo or are there other options? Using OpenGPG works quite fine for me
so far but in the end we are trying to sign an image using an IBM 4765
crypto card and so far have not figured out how this can play together.
thanks,
Hendrk
