SPIRE (the [SPIFFE](https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe) Runtime Environment) is a toolchain of APIs for establishing trust between software systems across a wide variety of hosting platforms. SPIRE exposes the [SPIFFE Workload API](https://github.com/spiffe/go-spiffe/blob/main/v2/proto/spiffe/workload/workload.proto), which can attest running software systems and issue [SPIFFE IDs](https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/main/standards/SPIFFE-ID.md) and [SVID](https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/main/standards/SPIFFE-ID.md)s to them.  This in turn allows two workloads to establish trust between each other, for example by establishing an mTLS connection or by signing and verifying a JWT token. SPIRE can also enable workloads to securely authenticate to a secret store, a database, or a cloud provider service.

SPIRE is a [graduated](https://www.cncf.io/projects/spire/) project of the [Cloud Native Computing Foundation](https://cncf.io) (CNCF). If you are an organization that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF.



## Get SPIRE



- Pre-built releases of SPIRE can be found at [https://github.com/spiffe/spire/releases](https://github.com/spiffe/spire/releases). These releases contain both SPIRE Server and SPIRE Agent binaries.

- Container images are published for [spire-server](https://ghcr.io/spiffe/spire-server), [spire-agent](https://ghcr.io/spiffe/spire-agent), and [oidc-discovery-provider](https://ghcr.io/spiffe/oidc-discovery-provider).

- Alternatively, you can [build SPIRE from source](/CONTRIBUTING.md).



## Learn about SPIRE



- Before trying SPIRE, it's a good idea to learn about its [architecture](https://spiffe.io/spire/) and design goals.

- Once ready to get started, see the [Quickstart Guides](https://spiffe.io/spire/try/) for Kubernetes, Linux, and MacOS.

- There are several examples demonstrating SPIRE usage in the [spire-examples](https://github.com/spiffe/spire-examples) and [spire-tutorials](https://github.com/spiffe/spire-tutorials) repositories.

- Check [ADOPTERS.md](./ADOPTERS.md) for a list of production SPIRE adopters, a view of the ecosystem, and use cases.

- See the [SPIRE Roadmap](/ROADMAP.md) for a list of planned features and enhancements.

- [Join](https://slack.spiffe.io/) the SPIFFE community on Slack. If you have any questions about how SPIRE works, or how to get it up and running, the best places to ask questions are the [SPIFFE Slack channels](https://spiffe.slack.com).

- Download the free book about SPIFFE and SPIRE, "[Solving the Bottom Turtle](https://spiffe.io/book/)."



## Integrate with SPIRE



- See [Extend SPIRE](https://spiffe.io/spire/docs/extending/) to learn about the highly extensible SPIRE plugin framework.

- Officially maintained client libraries for interacting with the [SPIFFE Workload API](https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/main/standards/SPIFFE_Workload_API.md) are available in [Go](https://github.com/spiffe/go-spiffe/tree/main/v2) and [Java](https://github.com/spiffe/java-spiffe). See [SPIFFE Library Usage Examples](https://spiffe.io/spire/try/spiffe-library-usage-examples/) for a full list of official and community libraries, as well as code samples.

- SPIRE provides an implementation of the [Envoy](https://envoyproxy.io) [Secret Discovery Service](https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/security/secret) (SDS) for use with [Envoy Proxy](https://envoyproxy.io).  SDS can be used to transparently install and rotate TLS certificates and trust bundles in Envoy. See [Using SPIRE with Envoy](https://spiffe.io/spire/docs/envoy/) for more information.



For supported integration versions, see [Supported Integrations](/doc/supported_integrations.md).



## Contribute to SPIRE



The SPIFFE community maintains the SPIRE project. Information on the various SIGs and relevant standards can be found in

.



- See [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/spiffe/spire/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) to get started.

- Use [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/spiffe/spire/issues) to request features or file bugs.

- See [GOVERNANCE](https://github.com/spiffe/spiffe/blob/main/GOVERNANCE.md) for SPIFFE and SPIRE governance policies.



## Further Reading



- The [Scaling SPIRE guide](/doc/scaling_spire.md) covers design guidelines, recommendations, and deployment models.

## Security



### Security Assessments



A third party security firm ([Cure53](https://cure53.de/)) completed a security audit of SPIFFE and SPIRE in February of 2021. Additionally, the [CNCF Technical Advisory Group for Security](https://github.com/cncf/tag-security) conducted two assessments on SPIFFE and SPIRE in 2018 and 2020. Please find the reports and supporting material, including the threat model exercise results, below.
