SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VERIFYING A SOFTWARE PRODUCT USING A SOFTWARE-SUPPLY-CHAIN-PROVENANCE VERIFICATION SERVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202307 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VERIFYING A SOFTWARE PRODUCT USING A SOFTWARE-SUPPLY-CHAIN-PROVENANCE VERIFICATION SERVICE
The abstract of the patent application describes systems and methods for verifying a software product using a software-supply-chain-provenance verification service.
- Receiving an indication of a software product for verification from a deployment management system
- Retrieving artifacts associated with the software product for verification
- Performing provenance verification on the artifacts to generate results
- Sending the results of the verification and the indication of the software product back to the deployment management system
- Allowing the software product to be installed based on the results of the verification
Potential Applications: - Enhancing software security - Ensuring the authenticity of software products - Streamlining software deployment processes
Problems Solved: - Verifying the origin and authenticity of software products - Ensuring compliance with security policies - Improving trust in software supply chains
Benefits: - Increased security for software products - Streamlined deployment processes - Enhanced trust in software supply chains
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Software Security with Provenance Verification" This technology can be utilized by software development companies, IT departments, and cybersecurity firms to enhance the security and authenticity of software products. It can also be integrated into software distribution platforms to provide users with assurance regarding the origin and integrity of the software they are installing.
Questions about Software Supply Chain Provenance Verification: 1. How does software-supply-chain-provenance verification enhance software security?
- Software-supply-chain-provenance verification ensures that software products are authentic and have not been tampered with, thus reducing the risk of security breaches.
2. What are the key benefits of using a software-supply-chain-provenance verification service?
- The key benefits include increased security, improved trust in software products, and streamlined deployment processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
in some examples, systems and methods for verifying a software product using a software-supply-chain-provenance verification service are provided. for example, a method includes: receiving, at the software-supply-chain-provenance verification service from a deployment management system, an indication of a first software product for verification, retrieving one or more artifacts associated with the first software product for verification, performing provenance verification to the one or more artifacts to generate one or more results, and sending the one or more results of the provenance verification and the indication of the first software product to the deployment management system. the deployment management system is configured to: determine whether the first software product satisfies a security policy of a release channel based at least in part on the one or more results of the provenance verification, and allowing for the first software product to be installed through the release channel.
