smimecosign

Keyless Git signing with cosign!

This is heavily inspired by https://github.com/github/smimesign, but uses keyless cosign to sign Git commits with your own GitHub / OIDC identity.

Installation

$ go install github.com/wlynch/smimecosign@latest

Configuration

Single Repository:

$ cd /path/to/my/repository
$ git config --local gpg.x509.program smimecosign
$ git config --local gpg.format x509

All respositories:

$ git config --global gpg.x509.program smimecosign
$ git config --global gpg.format x509

Cosign configuration options

Environment Variable Default Description
COSIGN_FULCIO_URL https://fulcio.sigstore.dev Address of Fulcio server
COSIGN_OIDC_CLIENT_ID sigstore OIDC client ID for application
COSIGN_OIDC_ISSUER https://oauth2.sigstore.dev/auth OIDC provider to be used to issue ID token
COSIGN_REKOR_URL https://rekor.sigstore.dev Address of Rekor server

Usage

Once configured, you can sign commits as usual with git commit -S (or git config --global commit.gpgsign true to enable signing for all commits).

$ git commit --allow-empty --message="Signed commit"
[main cb6eee1] Signed commit

This will redirect you through the Sigstore Keyless flow to authenticate and sign the commit.

Commits can then be verified using git log:

$ git --no-pager log --show-signature -1

Limitations

  • Due to how Git invokes signing tools, smimecosign does not work in device mode - a browser session is required to sign commits.

Advanced

Inspecting the Git commit signature

Git commit signatures use CMS/PKCS7 signatures. We can inspect the underlying data / certificate used by running:

$ git cat-file commit HEAD | sed -n '/BEGIN/, /END/p' | sed 's/^ //g' | sed 's/gpgsig //g' | sed 's/SIGNED MESSAGE/PKCS7/g' | openssl pkcs7 -print -print_certs -text

Verifying the Transparency Log

As part of signature verification, smimecosign not only checks that the given signature matches the commit, but also that the commit exists within the Rekor transparency log.

We can manually validate that the commit exists in the transparency log by running:

$ uuid=$(rekor-cli search --artifact <(git rev-parse HEAD | tr -d '\n') | tail -n 1)
$ sig=$(rekor-cli get --uuid=$uuid --format=json | jq -r .Body.HashedRekordObj.signature.content)
$ cert=$(rekor-cli get --uuid=$uuid --format=json | jq -r .Body.HashedRekordObj.signature.publicKey.content)
$ cosign verify-blob --cert <(echo $cert | base64 --decode) --signature <(echo $sig | base64 --decode) <(git rev-parse HEAD | tr -d '\n')
tlog entry verified with uuid: d0444ed9897f31fefc820ade9a706188a3bb030055421c91e64475a8c955ae2c index: 2212633
