It creates a verifiable record of the entire software development lifecycle by generating cryptographically signed attestations (called \"link metadata\") at each step, proving what happened, who performed it, and what artifacts were produced. For container environments, in-toto verifies that images deployed to Kubernetes followed approved build processes and have not been tampered with.\n\n\n## When to Use\n\n- When deploying or configuring implementing supply chain security with in toto capabilities in your environment\n- When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements\n- When building or improving security architecture for this domain\n- When conducting security assessments that require this implementation\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- Python 3.8+ or Go runtime for in-toto client libraries\n- GPG or Ed25519 keys for signing attestations\n- Container build pipeline (Docker, Buildah, or Kaniko)\n- Container registry (Docker Hub, ECR, GCR, or Harbor)\n- Kubernetes cluster for deployment verification\n\n## Core Concepts\n\n### Supply Chain Layout\n\nThe layout is the central policy document that defines:\n\n- **Steps**: Ordered operations in the supply chain (clone, build, test, package, push)\n- **Functionaries**: Authorized entities (people or CI systems) that perform each step\n- **Inspections**: Client-side verification checks performed at verification time\n- **Expected artifacts**: Input/output relationships between steps\n\n```python\nfrom in_toto.models.layout import Layout, Step, Inspection\nfrom securesystemslib.interface import import_ed25519_privatekey_from_file\n\n# Create the supply chain layout\nlayout = Layout()\nlayout.set_relative_expiration(months=3)\n\n# Define the code clone step\nstep_clone = Step(name=\"clone\")\nstep_clone.expected_materials = []\nstep_clone.expected_products = [[\"CREATE\", \"src/*\"]]\nstep_clone.pubkeys = [clone_functionary_keyid]\nstep_clone.expected_command = [\"git\", \"clone\"]\nstep_clone.threshold = 1\n\n# Define the build step\nstep_build = Step(name=\"build\")\nstep_build.expected_materials = [[\"MATCH\", \"src/*\", \"WITH\", \"PRODUCTS\", \"FROM\", \"clone\"]]\nstep_build.expected_products = [[\"CREATE\", \"image.tar\"]]\nstep_build.pubkeys = [build_functionary_keyid]\nstep_build.expected_command = [\"docker\", \"build\"]\nstep_build.threshold = 1\n\n# Define the scan step\nstep_scan = Step(name=\"scan\")\nstep_scan.expected_materials = [[\"MATCH\", \"image.tar\", \"WITH\", \"PRODUCTS\", \"FROM\", \"build\"]]\nstep_scan.expected_products = [[\"CREATE\", \"scan-report.json\"]]\nstep_scan.pubkeys = [scan_functionary_keyid]\nstep_scan.threshold = 1\n\nlayout.steps = [step_clone, step_build, step_scan]\n```\n\n### Link Metadata\n\nEach step execution generates a link file containing:\n\n- Materials consumed (input artifacts with hashes)\n- Products created (output artifacts with hashes)\n- Command executed\n- Cryptographic signature of the functionary\n\n### Verification Process\n\nAt deployment time, the verifier checks:\n1. All required steps were performed\n2. Each step was signed by an authorized functionary\n3. Artifact hashes chain correctly between steps\n4. No unauthorized modifications occurred between steps\n\n## Implementation\n\n### Step 1: Generate Signing Keys\n\n```bash\n# Generate Ed25519 key pairs for each functionary\nmkdir -p keys\n\n# Project owner key (signs the layout)\nin-toto-keygen --type ed25519 keys/owner\n\n# CI builder key\nin-toto-keygen --type ed25519 keys/builder\n\n# Security scanner key\nin-toto-keygen --type ed25519 keys/scanner\n```\n\n### Step 2: Create the Supply Chain Layout\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/env python3\n\"\"\"Generate in-toto supply chain layout for container builds.\"\"\"\n\nfrom

import_ed25519_publickey_from_file(\"keys/builder.pub\")\n    scanner_key = import_ed25519_publickey_from_file(\"keys/scanner.pub\")\n\n    layout.keys = {\n        builder_key[\"keyid\"]: builder_key,\n        scanner_key[\"keyid\"]: scanner_key,\n    }\n\n    # Step 1: Source code checkout\n    checkout = Step(name=\"checkout\")\n    checkout.expected_materials = []\n

Inspection(name=\"verify-no-critical-vulns\")\n    inspect_vulns.expected_materials = [\n        [\"MATCH\", \"vulnerability-report.json\", \"WITH\", \"PRODUCTS\", \"FROM\", \"scan\"]\n    ]\n    inspect_vulns.run = [\n        \"python\", \"-c\",\n        \"import json,sys; r=json.load(open('vulnerability-report.json')); \"\n        \"sys.exit(1) if any(v['severity']=='CRITICAL' for v in r.get('vulnerabilities',[])) else sys.exit(0)\"\n    ]\n\n    layout.steps = [checkout, build, scan]\n    layout.inspect = [inspect_vulns]\n\n    return layout\n\nif __name__ == \"__main__\":\n

envelope.create_signature(owner_signer)\n    envelope.dump(\"root.layout\")\n    print(\"Layout created and signed: root.layout\")\n```\n\n### Step 3: Record Pipeline Steps\n\n```bash\n# In CI/CD pipeline - record each step\n\n# Step 1: Checkout\nin-toto-run --step-name checkout \\\n  --key keys/builder \\\n  --products Dockerfile src/* requirements.txt \\\n  -- git clone https://github.com/org/app.git .\n\n# Step 2: Build\nin-toto-run --step-name build \\\n  --key keys/builder \\\n  --materials Dockerfile src/* \\\n  --products image-digest.txt \\\n  -- bash -c \"docker build -t app:latest . && docker inspect --format='{{.Id}}' app:latest > image-digest.txt\"\n\n# Step 3: Scan\nin-toto-run --step-name scan \\\n  --key keys/scanner \\\n  --materials image-digest.txt \\\n  --products vulnerability-report.json sbom.json \\\n  -- bash -c \"trivy image --format json app:latest > vulnerability-report.json && syft app:latest -o json > sbom.json\"\n```\n\n### Step 4: Verify Before Deployment\n\n```bash\n# Verify the entire supply chain\nin-toto-verify --layout root.layout \\\n  --layout-key keys/owner.pub \\\n  --link-dir ./link-metadata/\n\n# If verification passes, proceed with deployment\nif [ $? -eq 0 ]; then\n  kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml\n  echo \"Supply chain verification passed - deploying\"\nelse\n  echo \"SUPPLY CHAIN VERIFICATION FAILED - blocking deployment\"\n  exit 1\nfi\n```\n\n### Step 5: Kubernetes Admission Control\n\nIntegrate with a policy engine to verify attestations at admission:\n\n```yaml\napiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1\nkind: ValidatingWebhookConfiguration\nmetadata:\n  name: in-toto-verifier\nwebhooks:\n  - name: verify.in-toto.io\n    rules:\n      - apiGroups: [\"apps\"]\n        resources: [\"deployments\"]\n        operations: [\"CREATE\", \"UPDATE\"]\n    clientConfig:\n      service:\n        name: in-toto-webhook\n        namespace: security\n        path: /verify\n    failurePolicy: Fail\n    sideEffects: None\n    admissionReviewVersions: [\"v1\"]\n```\n\n## SLSA Integration\n\nin-toto attestations map directly to SLSA (Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts) requirements:\n\n| SLSA Level | in-toto Requirement |\n|------------|-------------------|\n| Level 1 | Build process documented (layout exists) |\n| Level 2 | Signed attestations from hosted build service |\n| Level 3 | Hardened build platform, non-falsifiable provenance |\n| Level 4 | Two-party review, hermetic builds |\n\n## References\n\n- [in-toto

Key Concepts\n\n| Concept | Description |\n|---------|-------------|\n| **Layout** | Defines the expected supply chain steps, who performs them, and material/product rules |\n| **Step** | A single supply chain operation (clone, build, test, package) |\n| **Link** | Metadata recorded when a step is actually performed (materials, products, command) |\n| **Inspection** | Verification commands run at verification time |\n| **Functionary** | A person or CI system authorized to perform a step |\n| **Materials** | Input files consumed by a step |\n| **Products** | Output files produced by a step |\n\n## Output Format\n\n### Link Metadata\n```json\n{\n  \"signatures\": [{\"keyid\": \"abc123...\", \"sig\": \"...\"}],\n  \"signed\": {\n    \"_type\": \"link\",\n    \"name\": \"build\",\n

Security with in-toto\n\n## Implementation Workflow\n\n### Phase 1: Layout Design\n1. Map your CI/CD pipeline steps (source, build, test, scan, package, push)\n2. Identify functionaries for each step (CI runner, scanner, reviewer)\n3. Define artifact flow between steps (what inputs/outputs)\n4. Generate signing keys for each functionary\n5. Create and sign the supply chain layout\n\n### Phase 2: Pipeline Integration\n1. Wrap each CI/CD step with `in-toto-run` to generate link metadata\n2. Configure key management (Vault, KMS, or Sigstore keyless)\n3. Store link metadata alongside build artifacts\n4. Verify supply chain at end of pipeline before push to registry\n5. Attach attestations to container images via cosign\n\n### Phase 3: Deployment Verification\n1. Deploy admission webhook for in-toto verification\n2. Configure policy engine to require valid attestations\n3. Test with known-good and known-bad attestation chains\n4. Enable enforcement mode to block unverified images\n5. Monitor verification failures and alert on anomalies\n\n## CI/CD Pipeline Integration\n\n### GitHub Actions Example\n```yaml\njobs:\n  build:\n    steps:\n      - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n      - name: Record checkout step\n        run: |\n          in-toto-run --step-name checkout \\\n            --key ${{ secrets.BUILDER_KEY }} \\\n            --products Dockerfile src/* \\\n            -- echo \"checkout complete\"\n      - name: Build and record\n        run: |\n          in-toto-run --step-name build \\\n            --key ${{ secrets.BUILDER_KEY }} \\\n            --materials Dockerfile src/* \\\n            --products image-digest.txt \\\n            -- docker build -t app:${{ github.sha }} .\n      - name: Scan and record\n        run: |\n          in-toto-run --step-name scan \\\n            --key ${{ secrets.SCANNER_KEY }} \\\n            --materials image-digest.txt \\\n            --products vuln-report.json sbom.json \\\n            -- trivy image app:${{ github.sha }}\n      - name: Verify chain\n        run: |\n          in-toto-verify --layout root.layout \\\n            --layout-key keys/owner.pub\n```\n\n## Key Rotation Workflow\n\n1. Generate new key pair for the functionary\n2. Update the supply chain layout with new public key\n3. Re-sign the layout with the owner key\n4.
