SBOM

WH Theme: SBOMS /  Notifications

• Look at OpenSSF SLSA/SBOM work (SLSA).  See also mail from GOSST
• Look at https://github.com/ossf/wg-security-tooling
• https://github.com/apache/commons-parent/pull/122
• https://github.com/spdx/spdx-maven-plugin

Draft ASF Position:

• SBOMs needs to be automatically generated for builds at build time
• SBOMs need to be signed with the same keys used for releases
• SBOMs are expected to be static, never changed after release
• SBOMs need to be useful (i.e. can be parsed, machine readable by current/future tools)

Questions

• What type of projects/builds should include SBOMs?
• What format should be used (e.g., SPDX, CycloneDX)
