Abstract
Embodiments describe techniques for validating the integrity and compliance of software artifacts through the use of attestations. An attestation manager is capable of retrieving an attestation file from storage, validating the software artifact and the attestation chain within the attestation, and optionally generate new attestations to add to the attestation chain when the software artifact and the attestation chain have been validated. A public-key encryption scheme may be applied to validate attestations while a fingerprint comparison scheme may be applied to validate the software artifact.
