Docs

This repostiory contains the specification and other related documents.

• You can read the current version of the specification here.
• The latest stable version (1.0) is here.

Release Cadence

Note that the specification is released whenever there is a change deemed important enough by a majority of the ITSC. As this is a specification, it is not expected to change frequently, hence many months will regularly pass before a new release is provided. See the ITE repository for information about how to propose changes to the specification and get more immediate feedback.

Support For Old Releases

The specification is a living document and as such is expected to improve over time. The expectation is that changes will improve the security and usability over in-toto implementations and thus will be desirable for implementers to adopt. However, the community will also happily answer questions about implementations that match older versions of the specification. In particular, we expect changes around why a specific change was made to occur whenever a non-trivial alteration is performed. Feel free to ask on our slack channel or in a commnuity call!

Given the slow rate of change of the specification and the incremental nature of those changes, we do not have any cutoff for which versions of the specification we will answer questions about. We reserve the right to change this in the future.

Examples and Demos

There are a couple of repositories within this organization that you can use to play around and better understand in-toto. Here's a list of them along with a brief description.

• demo: This is a very basic dummy supply chain example to help you understand the in-toto python toolchain. We recommend getting started here.
• kubectl-in-toto: Inside of this repository, you will find a demo to test a kubectl in-toto plugin to scan containers in your kubernetes deployment against in-toto metadata.
• demo OpenSUSE: This repository uses the OpenSUSE build toolchain to exemplify how in-toto could be integrated inside of OpenSUSE-based distros.
• totoify-grafeas: This repository provides an interface that converts standard in-toto links into Grafeas occurrences, and back for use in an in-toto verification workflow.
• layout-web-tool: The layout-web-tool is a simple Flask-based web app that walks users through creating an in-toto layout.

Other informative repositories

Along with this Docs repository, the in-toto enhancements (ITE) repository contains information about features, recommendations and other extensions that are not part of the core specification
