About This Project

This GitHub action implements the level 1 requirements of the SLSA framework. By using this GitHub Action it is possible to easily generate the provenance file for different artifact types. Different artifact types include, but not limited to:

Files
Push event (Docker Hub, trigger different workflow, etc)

While there are no integrity guarantees on the produced provenance at L1, publishing artifact provenance in a common format opens up opportunities for automated analysis and auditing. Additionally, moving build definitions into source control and onto well-supported, secure build systems represents a marked improvement from the ecosystem's current state.

This is not an official GitHub Action set up and maintained by the SLSA team. This GitHub Action is built for research purposes by Philips Research. It is heavily inspired by the original Provenance Action example built by SLSA.

Background

SLSA is a framework intended to codify and promote secure software supply-chain practices. SLSA helps trace software artifacts (e.g. binaries) back to the build and source control systems that produced them using in-toto's Attestation metadata format.

Usage

The easiest way to use this action is to add the following into your workflow file. Additional configuration might be necessary to fit your usecase.

GitHub Releases

Add the following part in your workflow file:

See ci workflow for a full example using GitHub releases.

⚠️ NOTE: this job depends on a release job that publishes the release assets to a GitHub Release.

provenance:
  name: provenance
  needs: [release]
  runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
  permissions:
    # required to update the release.
    contents: write

  steps:
    - name: Generate provenance for Release
      uses: philips-labs/slsa-provenance-action@v0.7.2
      with:
        command: generate
        subcommand: github-release
        arguments: --artifact-path release-assets --output-path 'provenance.json' --tag-name ${{ github.ref_name }}
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

GitHub artifacts

Add the following part in your workflow file:

See example workflow for a full example using GitHub artifacts.

generate-provenance:
  name: Generate build provenance
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - name: Download build artifact
      uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
      with:
        path: artifact/

    - name: Download extra materials for provenance
      uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
      with:
        name: extra-materials
        path: extra-materials/

    - name: Generate provenance
      uses: philips-labs/slsa-provenance-action@v0.7.2
      with:
        command: generate
        subcommand: files
        arguments: --artifact-path artifact/ --extra-materials extra-materials/file1.json,extra-materials/some-more.json

    - name: Upload provenance
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
      with:
        path: provenance.json
