Santiago Torres-Arias, "Practical software Supply Chain Security and Transparency"




CERIAS Weekly Security Seminar - Purdue University show

Summary: The software development process, or software supply chain, is quite complex and involves a number of independent actors. Due to this ever-growing complexity has led to various software supply chain compromises: from XCodeGhost injecting malware on millions of apps, to the highly-publicized SolarWinds Compromise. In this talk, Santiago will introduce various research challenges, as well as attempts from both Open Source and Industry --- such as SigStore, CoSign and in-toto --- to protect millions of users across the globe.
