sigstore ·
A JavaScript library for generating and verifying Sigstore signatures. One of the intended uses is to sign and verify npm packages but it can be used to sign and verify any file.
Features
- Support for signing using an OpenID Connect identity
- Support for publishing signatures to a Rekor instance
- Support for verifying Sigstore bundles
Prerequisites
- Node.js version >= 14.17.0
Installation
npm install sigstore
Compatibility
The following table documents which combinations of Sigstore bundle versions
and Rekor types can be verified by different versions of the sigstore
library. It also lists which sigstore
versions were shipped with different
npm
CLI versions.

Usage
const { sigstore } = require('sigstore')
import { sigstore } from 'sigstore'
sign(payload[, options])
Generates a Sigstore signature for the supplied payload. Returns a Sigstore bundle containing the signature and the verification material necessary to verify the signature.
payload
<Buffer>
: The bytes of the artifact to be signed.options
<Object>
fulcioURL
<string>
: The base URL of the Fulcio instance to use for retrieving the signing certificate. Defaults to'https://fulcio.sigstore.dev'

.identityToken
<string>
: The OIDC token identifying the signer. If no explicit token is supplied, an attempt will be made to retrieve one from the environment. This config cannot be used withidentityProvider
.identityProvider
<IdentityProvider>

attest(payload, payloadType[, options])
Generates a Sigstore signature for the supplied in-toto statement. Returns a Sigstore bundle containing the DSSE-wrapped statement and signature as well as the verification material necessary to verify the signature.

<Buffer>
: The bytes of the statement to be signed.payloadType
<string>
: MIME or content type describing the statement to be signed.options
<Object>
fulcioURL
<string>
: The base URL of the Fulcio instance to use for retrieving the signing certificate. Defaults to'https://fulcio.sigstore.dev'
.rekorURL
<string>
: The base URL of the Rekor instance to use when adding the signature to the transparency log. Defaults to'https://rekor.sigstore.dev'
.tsaServerURL
<string>
: The base URL of the Timestamp Authority instance to use when requesting a signed timestamp. If omitted, no timestamp will be requested.tlogUpload
<boolean>
: Flag indicating whether or not the signed statement should be recorded on the Rekor transparency log. Defaults totrue
.identityToken
<string>
: The OIDC token identifying the signer. If no explicit token is supplied, an attempt will be made to retrieve one from the environment. This config cannot be used withidentityProvider
.identityProvider
<IdentityProvider>
: Object which implementsgetToken: () => Promise<string>
. The supplied provider will be used to retrieve an OIDC token. If no provider is supplied, an attempt will be made to retrieve an OIDC token from the environment. This config cannot be used withidentityToken
.
verify(bundle[, payload][, options])
Verifies the signature in the supplied bundle.
bundle
<Bundle>
: The Sigstore bundle containing the signature to be verified and the verification material necessary to verify the signature.payload
<Buffer>
: The bytes of the artifact over which the signature was created. Only necessary when thesign
function was used to generate the signature since the Bundle does not contain any information about the artifact which was signed. Not required when theattest
function was used to generate the Bundle.options
<Object>
ctLogThreshold
<number>
: The number of certificate transparency logs on which the signing certificate must appear. Defaults to1
.tlogThreshold
<number>
: The number of transparency logs on which the signature must appear. Defaults to1
.certificateIssuer
<string>
: Value that must appear in the signing certificate's issuer extension (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.57264.1.1). Not verified if no value is supplied.certificateIdentityEmail
<string>
: Email address which must appear in the signing certificate's Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension. Must be specified in conjunction with thecertificateIssuer
option. Takes precedence over thecertificateIdentityURI
option. Not verified if no value is supplied.certificateIdentityURI
<string>
: URI which must appear in the signing certificate's Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extension. Must be specified in conjunction with thecertificateIssuer
option. Ignored if thecertificateIdentityEmail
option is set. Not verified if no value is supplied.certificateOIDs
<Object>
: A collection of OID/value pairs which must be present in the certificate's extension list. Not verified if no value is supplied.keySelector
<Function>
: Callback invoked to retrieve the public key (as eitherstring
orBuffer
) necessary to verify the bundle signature. Not used when the signature was generated from a Fulcio-issued signing certificate.hint
<String>
: The hint from the bundle used to identify the the signing key.
tuf
The tuf
object contains utility function for working with the Sigstore TUF repository.
client([options])
Returns a TUF client which can be used to retrieve targets from the Sigstore TUF repository.
options
<Object>
tufMirrorURL
<string>
: Base URL for the Sigstore TUF repository. Defaults to'https://tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev'
tufRootPath
<string>
: Path to the initial trusted root for the TUF repository. Defaults to the embedded root.tufCachePath
<string>
: Absolute path to the directory to be used for caching downloaded TUF metadata and targets. Defaults to a directory named "sigstore-js" within the platform-specific application data directory.
The returned object exposes a getTarget(path)
function which returns the
contents of the target at the specified path in the Sigstore TUF repository.
getTarget(path[, options]) (deprecated)
Returns the contents of the target at the specified path in the Sigstore TUF repository.
This method has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
You should use the TUF client
function to retrieve a stateful TUF client and
then call getTarget
against that object. This will avoid re-initializing the
internal TUF state between requests.
path
<string>
: The path-relative-url string that uniquely identifies the target within the Sigstore TUF repository.options
<Object>
tufMirrorURL
<string>
: Base URL for the Sigstore TUF repository. Defaults to'https://tuf-repo-cdn.sigstore.dev'
tufRootPath
<string>
: Path to the initial trusted root for the TUF repository. Defaults to the embedded root.tufCachePath
<string>
: Absolute path to the directory to be used for caching downloaded TUF metadata and targets. Defaults to a directory named "sigstore-js" within the platform-specific application data directory.
utils
The utils
object contains a few internal utility functions. These are exposed
to support the needs of specific sigstore-js
consumers but should NOT be
considered part of the stable public interface.
CLI
The sigstore-js
library comes packaged with a basic command line interface
for testing and demo purposes. However, the CLI should NOT be considered
part of the stable interface of the library. If you require a production-ready
Sigstore CLI, we recommend you use cosign
.
$ npx sigstore help
sigstore <command> <artifact>
Usage:
sigstore sign sign an artifact
sigstore attest sign an artifact using dsse (Dead Simple Signing Envelope)
sigstore verify verify an artifact
sigstore version print version information
sigstore help print help information
Credential Sources
GitHub Actions
If sigstore-js detects that it is being executed on GitHub Actions, it will use ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_URL
and ACTIONS_ID_TOKEN_REQUEST_TOKEN
environment variables to request an OIDC token with the correct scope.
Note: the id_token: write
permission must be granted to the GitHub Action Job.
See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/security-hardening-your-deployments/about-security-hardening-with-openid-connect for more details.
Environment Variables
If the SIGSTORE_ID_TOKEN
environment variable is set, it will use this to authenticate to Fulcio.
It is the callers responsibility to make sure that this token has the correct scopes.
Interactive Flow
If sigstore-js cannot detect ambient credentials, then it will prompt the user to go through the interactive flow.
