Keynote: Approaching the SBOM: Best Practice for Software Supply Chain Security - Daniel Nurmi, Anchore
The software bill of materials (SBOM) has quickly become a critical foundation for software supply chain security. Gaining the ability to see and process the full picture of all software components included in your applications is the first step in preventing vulnerabilities and malware from reaching production systems.

The recent United States Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity details the need for software producers to supply SBOMs, as well as maintaining controls on the provenance of software components and tools. The U.S. NTIA has subsequently released minimum elements for a compliant SBOM. This highlights the important role of an SBOM for open source projects, whether they are incorporated in software applications or used as part of the development toolchain.

Multiple Linux Foundation and CNCF projects including SPDX, In-Toto, and SigStore are providing critical frameworks and specifications designed to advance the security of the software supply chain.

This session will explore best practices for generating SBOMs for both open source projects and software producers, we will share insights and lessons learned from creating SBOMs for CNCF projects using Syft, an open source SBOM generator, and predict ways that we see the role of the SBOM in securing software supply chains evolving over time.

Keynote: Software Supply Chains for Devops - Aysylu Greenberg, Google
Several recent high-profile security incidents were due to compromised software supply chains. Software Supply Chain is a collective term used to describe the stages of software lifecycle from source to deployment through CI/CD pipelines, and all the static and dynamic analyses in between. In the world of microservices and cloud computing, trust in your company’s supply chain is critical, as most of the tooling and dependencies are from open source and vendor projects. When the code hits production, it’s essential to have enough observability to detect and investigate the problem and get to the root cause and mitigation as quickly as possible. With software supply chain attacks, not only is the newly deployed code under suspicion, but also all the tooling used to produce it becomes a potential attack vector, so an efficient and effective way to verify the integrity of the supply chain is paramount. This talk will discuss what information needs to be collected to allow DevOps to inspect and verify the integrity of the supply chain, the challenges of having the right level of detail to reduce mean-time-to-detection and mean-time-to-understanding, some of the existing solutions and open problems in this space.

Whose Sign Is It Anyway? - Marina Moore, NYU & Matthew Riley, Google
Code signing is the security foundation of the software supply chains we rely on every day. But if you let yourself think about it for too long -- like we have -- it starts to seem weird that we’re so sure a random download won’t steal our credentials or ransom our data just because someone, somewhere happened to choose a very special point on an elliptic curve.

In this talk, we will explore what a digital signature really means -- and what it doesn’t. We’ll look at the implications of policy choices around key handling, what gets signed, and when we call a signature "valid". And we’ll dive so deeply into the very idea of identity that you may begin to question the nature of your reality.

5G and Challenges with Software Supply Chain Security - Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson
The new technologies such as cloud, containers, virtual & cloud native network functions result in tremendous advances in the telecommunications industry.
With the help of these new technologies, the 5G networks that are currently being rolled out all around the world are developed rapidly in heavily disaggregated manner, allowing communications service providers to introduce new services to their users much faster than before.

However, the new technologies and resulting disaggregation is not without their challenges and the security of the software supply chain is one of them.
The components that are part of the 5G networks originate from multiple sources, including but not limited to vendors and open source communities with many integration points and deployed into different environments such as public and private clouds, increasing the risk of breaking the chain of trust.

This session will give a short overview of the next generation telecommunications networks, highlight the challenges, and talk about the opportunities to tackle them in a collaborative manner.

Vulnerability Supply Chains - Art Manion, CERT Coordination Center
If you've analyzed or responded to software vulnerabilities like BadAlloc, KRACK, or the PROTOS SNMP test suite from 2002, then you've encountered the intersection of vulnerabilities and supply chains. Without supply chain knowledge, multi-party coordinated vulnerability disclosure efforts are largely limited to manual investigation, one-offs, and guesswork. Follow-on activities like vulnerability management and risk assessment are also hindered. To what extent are vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies inherited? What happens when build tools have or create vulnerabilities? How might we effectively perform coordinated disclosure and share supply chain knowledge at scale? What part will SBOM (software bill of materials) play?
