A thin sigstore-go wrapper that validates a sigstore bundle against the live (or cached) Sigstore TUF trust root. Cross-ecosystem by design: handles any (digestAlg, digest) pair, so npm tarball (sha512), GitHub artifact (sha256), PyPI distribution, Maven Central, and Cargo package attestations all use the same code path.

go get github.com/git-pkgs/sigstore

import (
    "crypto/sha512"

    "github.com/sigstore/sigstore-go/pkg/root"

    "github.com/git-pkgs/sigstore"
)

tr, err := root.FetchTrustedRoot() // or FetchTrustedRootWithOptions for a local cache
if err != nil { return err }

v := sigstore.New(tr)
digest := sha512.Sum512(artifactBytes)
err = v.VerifyBundle(ctx, bundleBytes, "sha512", digest[:])

VerifyBundle returns nil when:

• the bundle's Fulcio cert chains to the trust root,
• the Rekor inclusion proof is valid,
• the DSSE envelope signature matches the cert,
• the in-toto subject digest matches the supplied (digestAlg, digest).

Use VerifyBundleDetailed when the caller also needs the certificate identity and OIDC issuer, verified hex-encoded Rekor log key ID, URI, and integrated time, in-toto subjects, or predicate data:

result, err := v.VerifyBundleDetailed(ctx, bundleBytes, "sha512", digest[:])

result.Statement contains the exact decoded DSSE payload and result.Predicate contains its raw JSON predicate. These fields are returned only after verification succeeds. The caller is responsible for deciding whether result.CertificateIdentity and result.CertificateIssuer are authorized for its use case.

Consumers typically declare a one-method interface so other verifiers (witness, SBOMit, plain in-toto) can swap in:

type ProvenanceVerifier interface {
    VerifyBundle(ctx context.Context, body []byte, alg string, digest []byte) error
}

*Verifier satisfies this structurally — no shared interface package needed.

sigstore-go is a heavy dependency (TUF, Fulcio, Rekor, x509, protobuf). Carrying it in larger surfaces (CLIs, libraries) is wasteful when consumers only want bundle verification. Importing this package opts in explicitly.

For identity-field extraction without verification, see github.com/git-pkgs/attestation (stdlib-only).
