What does Witness do?

✏️ Attests - Witness is a dynamic CLI tool that integrates into pipelines and infrastructure to create an audit trail for your software's entire journey through the software development lifecycle (SDLC) using the in-toto specification.

🧐 Verifies - Witness also features its own policy engine with embedded support for OPA Rego, so you can ensure that your software was handled safely from source to deployment.

What can you do with Witness?

  • Verify how your software was produced and what tools were used
  • Ensure that each step of the supply chain was completed by authorized users and machines
  • Detect potential tampering or malicious activity
  • Distribute attestations and policy across air gaps

  • An embedded OPA Rego policy engine for policy enforcement
  • Keyless signing with Sigstore and SPIFFE/SPIRE
