Re: [SCITT] [EXT]Re: Endor: A SCITT PoC for W3C Verifiable Credentials

[ProSapien Sam Smith <[e-mail]>]

One solution to this class of problems is to use a Web-of-Trust approach with reputable trust anchors. 
For example the GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) is setting up a trust anchor where using a type of verifiable credential, they can make an attestation that a given cryptonymous identifier controlled by a set of (public, private) key pairs is associated with a given Legal Entity. Authorized Qualified Issuers perform identity assurance and identity authentication as a precursor to issuing those credentials. This provides a Global cryptographically verifiable mechanism for establishing that any attestions by Wabbit networks my be securely attributed to authorized representatives of Wabbit Networks.  

Using the same open source protocols and libraries (KERI/ACDC) as that used by GLEIF any ecosystem can set up their own root-of-trust for a trust anchor to provide a complementary establishment (instead of or in addition to) GLEIF's.  The underlying protocols support provenance chains-of-authority for any issued credential (indeed trees not just chains) so that the secure attribution problem is solved.

So a way to address this in the SCITT working group is to accept these types of provenancing for secure attribution and then focus on supply chain specific schema and formats for managing supply chains given a solution  to the secure attribution problem.

But, they can also specify which public keys they trust. For instance, they might trust content signed by Docker Inc, Wabbit Networks and Microsoft. If they attempt to import something from evilco, it’s denied by default. Even if evilco got a valid public certificate, import would still be denied. This is also where DiD would come in. Within the eNotary, based on the policy, ACME rockets confirms the Wabbit Networks identity is valid, at the time of evaluation.

Current code signing mechanisms don’t achieve this (as Dick has noted). Ideally, public keys would not be trusted for a broader context than is actually necessary.

This is overly simplistic. With SCITT, we can now add “context” to what scenarios/environments the net-monitor:v1 software was approved for use within ACME Rockets.
> The premise is consumers within ACME Rockets check for a specific claim/attestation/endorsement to allow the artifact to pass a check. However, the filter on the claims check is based on a set of approved identities. For instance, if Wabbit Networks says it passes ABC123 compliance, that’s nice, but it wouldn’t pass the check. Only claims from ACME Rockets for ABC123 compliance would be allowed to pass.

>  
> [CW] Each of these polices describing what is fit for internal use may require proof of origin, integrity, etc. before the ACME Rockets’ signature is applied. A goal of the spec I referenced is representation of trust anchors along with constraints on usage. These constraints would apply to CAs and end entities, if any, and be used by relying parties. In this case, the component that applies the ACME signature would be a relying party. ACME Rockets doesn’t get to choose what key Wabbit Networks used to sign something, but can enforce constraints on the usage of public keys to limit damage if the corresponding private key is ever stolen (so that they don’t consume a net-monitor:v1 that purports to be from Wabbit Networks but was signed by Coyote, Inc.). Expressing/enforcing constraints is the hard part. The spec is loosely based on the FIDO metadata syntax, where authenticator values provide a clean target. At present it uses identifiers, claims, etc. from various specs related to the RATS working group, but is a work in progress.

The code signing example has cropped up here fairly often (i.e., why should my code signing key be accepted as fit to verify a signature on some other company’s code). FIDO attestation roots suggest that at least in some cases per-company TAs/CAs are the norm. TAs/CAs could be constrained to codify that practice.
