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.

Matt works on Kubernetes security at Google. His previous work has involved various combinations of container infrastructure, platform security, code integrity, and applied cryptography.
In this talk, Steven will provide a comprehensive introduction to DevSecOps. He'll help attendees get past the buzzwords and demystify the various kinds of software security scanning that teams can incorporate into their software delivery processes to shift-left security. Equally important - you'll then learn how to apply these principles at scale using the Jenkins Templating Engine to develop tool-agnostic pipelines that can be shared across teams.
SLSA – Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts – introduces a comprehensive methodology to prevent tampering with the software supply chain. To illustrate the impact of SLSA, we follow a few gremlins as they try to introduce malicious code into a container image used by thousands of projects. At each step of the supply chain we show how SLSA controls raise the cost of attack, preventing the gremlins from causing any harm.

In this talk, we’ll explore the complementary roles that TUF, in-toto, and SigStore play in creating a transparent hack-proof software supply chain that thwarts man-in-the-middle attacks anywhere between developers and end-users. The talk will build off the basics of using in-toto and TUF together to deliver hack-proof updates, especially how it was done for the first time in the industry at Datadog, and then going the extra mile with SigStore. We’ll see how SigStore’s transparent and auditable model holds publishers accountable in this system. Finally, we’ll see a real example of the whole stack in action for the first time with Datadog’s integration, and show just how easy it is to adopt yourself!

If you build software on Kubernetes and want to learn more about how to do it in a secure way, then this talk is for you! In this talk, Christie Wilson and Priya Wadhwa will provide a hands on overview to creating a secure zero-trust supply chain on Kubernetes. We'll show you how to use tools like Tekton, Tekton Chains and sigstore together to protect your pipelines and generate provenance for your builds. We'll also cover how the audience can integrate these tools with other projects like In-Toto and SPIRE to securely build, sign and verify software components today.

With the growing frequency of supply chain attacks and complexity of technology environments securing the software supply chain has never been more important, especially in highly regulated environments like banking. The road to a secure supply is long and challenging but getting started is easy. There are a series of practices that you can implement today to get you started on your supply chain security journey that will help you: better understand the technologies currently in your environments, establish provenance of source code, and help you audit and respond quickly in the event of supply chain vulnerabilities.
