  Sigstore is a set of free-to-use open source tools for signing, verifying,
  and protecting software supply chain artifacts. It provides a transparent
  and auditable signing infrastructure that eliminates the need for managing
  signing keys, making software supply chain security more accessible.
  The Sigstore ecosystem includes Cosign for artifact signing, Fulcio as
  the certificate authority, and Rekor as the cryptographically secure
  transparency log.
