Supply Chain Security

Eidos (Eidos) provides supply chain security artifacts for all container images:

SBOM Attestation: Complete inventory of packages, libraries, and components in SPDX format
SLSA Build Provenance: Verifiable build information (how and where images were created)

Container Image Attestations

All container images published from tagged releases include multiple layers of attestations, providing comprehensive supply chain security:

Build Provenance – SLSA attestations signed using GitHub's OIDC identity
SBOM Attestations – SPDX v2.3 JSON format signed with Cosign
Binary SBOMs – SPDX v2.3 JSON format embedded in CLI binaries via GoReleaser

Attestation Types

Build Provenance (SLSA)

Complete record of the build environment, tools, and process
Source repository URL and exact commit SHA
GitHub Actions workflow that produced the artifact
Build parameters and environment variables
Cryptographically signed using Sigstore keyless signing
SLSA Build Level 3 compliant

SBOM Attestations

Complete inventory of packages, libraries, and dependencies
SPDX v2.3 JSON format (industry standard)
Attached to container images as attestations
Signed with Cosign using keyless signing (Fulcio + Rekor)
Enables vulnerability scanning and license compliance

Verify Image Attestations

Setup - Get Latest Release Tag and Resolve Digest:

# Get the latest release tag
export TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/NVIDIA/eidos/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name')
echo "Using tag: $TAG"

# Resolve tag to immutable digest (requires crane or docker)
export IMAGE="ghcr.io/nvidia/eidos"
export DIGEST=$(crane digest "${IMAGE}:${TAG}" 2>/dev/null || docker inspect "${IMAGE}:${TAG}" --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' | cut -d'@' -f2)
echo "Resolved digest: $DIGEST"

# Use digest for verification (recommended - immutable reference)
export IMAGE_DIGEST="${IMAGE}@${DIGEST}"

Why use digests? Tags are mutable and can be changed to point to different images. Digests are immutable SHA256 hashes that uniquely identify an image, providing stronger security guarantees.

Method 1: GitHub CLI (Recommended)

# Verify using digest (preferred - no warnings)
gh attestation verify oci://${IMAGE_DIGEST} --owner nvidia

# Verify the eidosd image
export IMAGE_API="ghcr.io/nvidia/eidosd"
export DIGEST_API=$(crane digest "${IMAGE_API}:${TAG}")
gh attestation verify oci://${IMAGE_API}@${DIGEST_API} --owner nvidia

# Note: You can still use tags, but tools may show warnings about mutability
# gh attestation verify oci://ghcr.io/nvidia/eidos:${TAG} --owner nvidia

Method 2: Cosign (SBOM Attestations)

# Verify SBOM attestation using digest (preferred - avoids warnings)
cosign verify-attestation \
  --type spdxjson \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/NVIDIA/eidos/.github/workflows/.*' \
  ${IMAGE_DIGEST}

# Extract and view SBOM
cosign verify-attestation \
  --type spdxjson \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/NVIDIA/eidos/.github/workflows/.*' \
  ${IMAGE_DIGEST} | jq -r '.payload' | base64 -d | jq '.predicate'

Method 3: Policy Enforcement (Kubernetes)

See In-Cluster Verification section below for automated admission policies.

What's Included in Attestations

Build Provenance Contains:

Build trigger (tag push event)
Builder identity (GitHub Actions runner)
Source repository and commit SHA
Build workflow path and run ID
Build parameters and environment

For more information:

Setup

Export variables for the image you want to verify:

# Get latest release tag
export TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/NVIDIA/eidos/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name')

export IMAGE="ghcr.io/nvidia/eidos"
export IMAGE_TAG="$IMAGE:$TAG"

# Get digest for the tag (requires crane or docker)
export DIGEST=$(crane digest "$IMAGE_TAG" 2>/dev/null || docker inspect "$IMAGE_TAG" --format='{{index .RepoDigests 0}}' | cut -d'@' -f2)
export IMAGE_DIGEST="$IMAGE@$DIGEST"
export IMAGE_SBOM="$IMAGE:sha256-$(echo "$DIGEST" | cut -d: -f2).sbom"

Authentication (if needed):

docker login ghcr.io

Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)

Eidos provides SBOMs in SPDX v2.3 JSON format for comprehensive supply chain visibility:

Binary SBOMs – Embedded in CLI binaries (SPDX v2.3 JSON)
Container Image SBOMs – Attached as attestations (SPDX v2.3 JSON)

Binary SBOMs (CLI)

Generated by GoReleaser during release builds, embedded directly in binaries.

Access Binary SBOM:

# Get latest release tag
export TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/NVIDIA/eidos/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name')
export VERSION=${TAG#v}  # Remove 'v' prefix for filenames

# Detect OS and architecture
export OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
export ARCH=$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/; s/aarch64/arm64/')

# Download binary from GitHub releases
curl -LO https://github.com/NVIDIA/eidos/releases/download/${TAG}/eidos_${TAG}_${OS}_${ARCH}
chmod +x eidos_${TAG}_${OS}_${ARCH}

# Download SBOM (separate file)
curl -LO https://github.com/NVIDIA/eidos/releases/download/${TAG}/eidos_${VERSION}_${OS}_${ARCH}.sbom.json

SBOM Use Cases:

Vulnerability Scanning – Feed SBOM to Grype, Trivy, or Snyk
```
grype sbom:./sbom.json
```

License Compliance – Analyze licensing obligations

jq -r '.packages[] | select(.licenseDeclared != "NOASSERTION") | "\(.name) \(.versionInfo) \(.licenseDeclared)"' sbom.json

Dependency Tracking – Monitor for supply chain risks

jq '.packages[] | select(.name | contains("vulnerable-lib"))' sbom.json

Audit Trail – Maintain records for compliance

# SBOM timestamp proves when components were included
jq '.creationInfo.created' sbom.json

SLSA Build Provenance

SLSA (Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts) provides verifiable information about how images were built. Eidos achieves SLSA Build Level 3 through GitHub Actions OIDC integration.

What is SLSA?

SLSA is a security framework that protects against supply chain attacks by ensuring:

Source integrity – Code comes from expected repository
Build integrity – Build process is secure and reproducible
Provenance – Complete record of how artifacts were created
Auditability – Cryptographically signed evidence

SLSA Level 3 Requirements (Achieved)

Build as Code – GitHub Actions workflows define reproducible builds
Provenance Available – Attestations generated for all releases
Provenance Authenticated – Signed using Sigstore keyless signing
Service Generated – GitHub Actions generates provenance (not self-asserted)
Non-falsifiable – Strong authentication of identity (OIDC)
Dependencies Complete – Full dependency graph in SBOM

Verify SLSA Provenance

Method 1: GitHub CLI

# Get latest release tag and resolve digest
export TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/NVIDIA/eidos/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name')
export IMAGE="ghcr.io/nvidia/eidos"
export DIGEST=$(crane digest "${IMAGE}:${TAG}")
export IMAGE_DIGEST="${IMAGE}@${DIGEST}"

# Verify provenance exists and is valid (using digest)
gh attestation verify oci://${IMAGE_DIGEST} --owner nvidia

# Output shows:
# ✓ Verification succeeded!
# 
# Attestations:
#   • Build provenance (SLSA v1.0)
#   • SBOM (SPDX)

Method 2: Extract and Inspect Provenance

# Get full provenance data (using digest)
gh attestation verify oci://${IMAGE_DIGEST} \
  --owner nvidia \
  --format json | jq '.[] | select(.verificationResult.statement.predicateType | contains("slsa"))'

# Key fields in provenance:
# - buildDefinition.buildType: GitHub Actions workflow type
# - runDetails.builder.id: Workflow file and commit
# - buildDefinition.externalParameters.workflow: Workflow path and ref
# - buildDefinition.resolvedDependencies: Source code commit SHA
# - runDetails.metadata.invocationId: GitHub run ID
