# Signy

[![GoDoc](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=godoc&message=reference&color=blue)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/cnabio/signy)

Signy is an experimental tool that implements the CNAB Security specification. It implements signing and verifying for CNAB bundles in [the canonical formats (thin and thick bundles)](https://github.com/deislabs/cnab-spec/blob/main/104-bundle-formats.md). As an added feature, it also supports pushing and pulling of container images alongside in-toto metadata with the `signy image` command.

## Notes

- the CNAB security specification uses TUF as a protocol for distributing trust metadata about bundles. This implementation uses Notary, a Go implementation of the TUF specification.
- this project has been tested using the open source Notary and Docker distribution.
- currently, the in-toto signing key for the root layout is passed in the TUF `custom` object. This invalidates the security model, and the priority is to move the distribution of that key out of bound (possibly using a TUF signing key - targets, for example).
- if pushing in-toto metadata, this tool assumes the in-toto metadata has already been generated using a different workflow.
- authentication currently has some transient issues. For now, it is best to use a local registry and trust server (see instructions below).

## Building Signy

```bash
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com
$ mkdir cnabio && cd cnabio && git clone https://github.com/cnabio/signy && cd signy
$ make bootstrap build
$ mv bin/signy $GOPATH/bin
```

## Using Signy

### Setting up

- Run local Docker Distribution and Notary services:

```bash
# Setup Docker Distribution and Notary.
$ ./scripts/bootstrap.sh
# Start Docker Distribution and Notary.
$ ./scripts/signy-start.sh
```

- Before running Signy, test pushing and pulling from local registry and Notary server:

```bash
# Push a signed hello-world image.
$ ./scripts/docker-push.sh
# Pull the signed hello-world image.
$ ./scripts/docker-pull.sh
```

At this point, Signy can be used by passing the Notary CA and URL to the trust server:

```
$ signy --tlscacert=$NOTARY_CA --server https://localhost:4443
```

### Common operations

- Computing the SHA256 digest of a canonical CNAB bundle, pushing it to the trust server, then pushing the bundle using `cnab-to-oci`:

```bash
$ ./scripts/signy-sign.sh testdata/cnab/bundle.json localhost:5000/cnab/thin-bundle:v1
INFO[0000] Starting to copy image cnab/helloworld:0.1.1
INFO[0000] Completed image cnab/helloworld:0.1.1 copy

INFO[0000] Pushed successfully, with digest "sha256:b4936e42304c184bafc9b06dde9ea1f979129e09a021a8f40abc07f736de9268"

```

- Verifying the metadata in the trusted collection for a CNAB bundle against the bundle pushed to an OCI registry

```
$ ./scripts/signy-verify.sh localhost:5000/cnab/thin-bundle:v1
INFO[0000] Pulled trust data for localhost:5000/thin-bundle:v1, with role targets - SHA256: c7e92bd51f059d60b15ad456edf194648997d739f60799b37e08edafd88a81b5

```

- Listing the targets for a trusted collection:

```bash
$ ./scripts/signy-list.sh

```

- Computing the SHA256 digest of a thick bundle, then pushing it to a trust sever

```
$ signy --tlscacert=$NOTARY_CA --server https://localhost:4443 sign --thick testdata/cnab/helloworld-0.1.1.tgz localhost:5000/thick-bundle:v1
INFO[0000] Pushed trust data for localhost:5000/thick-bundle:v1: 540cc4dc213548ebbdffb2ab0ef58729e089d1887edbcde6eeca851de624da70
```

- Verifying the metadata for a local thick bundle

```

```

### Using in-toto

- Add in-toto metadata when signing a thin bundle:

```
$ ./scripts/signy-sign.sh testdata/cnab/bundle.json localhost:5000/thin-intoto:v2 --in-toto --layout testdata/intoto/root.layout --links testdata/intoto --layout-key testdata/intoto/alice.pub

```

- verifying the signature of a thin bundle and running the in-toto verifications in a container:

- similarly for a thick bundle:

```
$ signy --tlscacert=$NOTARY_CA --server https://localhost:4443 sign testdata/cnab/helloworld-0.1.1.tgz --thick localhost:5000/thick-bundle-signature:v2 --in-toto --layout testdata/intoto/root.layout --links testdata/intoto --layout-key testdata/intoto/alice.pub
INFO[0000] Adding In-Toto layout and links metadata to TUF
INFO[0000] Pushed trust data for localhost:5000/thick-bundle-signature:v2: 540cc4dc213548ebbdffb2ab0ef58729e089d1887edbcde6eeca851de624da70

$ signy --tlscacert=$NOTARY_CA --server https://localhost:4443 verify localhost:5000/thick-bundle-signature:v2 --thick --local testdata/cnab/helloworld-0.1.1.tgz --in-toto
```

Notes:

- see current limitations about the in-toto signing key of the root layout

### To sign container images and put the info in TUF alongside its in-toto metadata

`signy --tlscacert root-ca.crt image push -i [image]`

This command is nearly identical to the docker CLI command `docker push` when the environment variable `DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1` and `DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST_SERVER=[server:4443]` are set. In addition to signing the digest, we require in-toto metadata to push to the trust server. Unlike `signy sign` where the in-toto metadata is optional, it is required for `signy push`.

```Flags:
-h, --help help for push
-i, --image string container image to push (must be built on your local system)
--layout string Path to the in-toto root layout file (default "intoto/root.layout")
--layout-key string Path to the in-toto root layout public keys (default "intoto/root.pub")
--links string Path to the in-toto links directory (default "intoto/")
--registryCredentials string docker registry credentials (api key or password), uses the PUSH_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS environment variable
--registryUser string docker registry user, also uses the PUSH_REGISTRY_USER environment variable

To pull an image and verify its digest SHA and in-toto metadata:

`signy --tlscacert root-ca.crt image pull -i [image]`

This will pull the image from the registry, verify its digest against what is stored in TUF/Notary, and verify the in-toto metadata that was pulled down from TUF/Notary.

```
TODO - `signy image` :
- Currently `signy image pull` copies all files from the current directory into the in-toto temp directory for verification. For most in-toto proof-of-concepts, a .tgz or .tar file is typically used. This was an easy way to get those files in for verification.
- Have an option to pull the in-toto metadata to a different directory.
- Provide a better way to `docker login`. Currently you must provide a login to the registry as a command line param or as environment variables "PUSH_REGISTRY_USER" and "PUSH_REGISTRY_CREDENTIALS". Look into how `docker push` does this.
- The image is pulled prior to testing the digest against the digest in Notary and prior to the in-toto verify. If the verify fails, we do not remove the image.
- Only does VerifyOnOS. Should add VerifyInContainer like `signy verify` does.
```

### Tearing down

- Stop all services:

```bash
./scripts/stop.sh
```

### Tips

On the first push to a repository, Signy generates the signing keys (using Notary). To avoid introducing the passphrases every time, set the following environment variables with the corresponding passphrases:

```
$ export SIGNY_ROOT_PASSPHRASE=PassPhrase#123
$ export SIGNY_TARGETS_PASSPHRASE=PassPhrase#123
$ export SIGNY_RELEASES_PASSPHRASE=PassPhrase#123
```
