Source Certification Contract (SCC)

Question:

Are You Who You Say You Are?

Answer:

Trust the Source, User

Overview

SCC aims to allow verification of the binary identity.

Its goal is to verify a binaries source code origins, i.e. that is is build with a unique set of source code.

Use source and binary signature tags stored in accessible source code repository (SCR).

The source tag is provided at build time.

The binary tags are generated for each build and target and retroactively added to the SCR.

The binary contains both, source and binary tags, i.e. it claims a source code identification while providing it's binary identification.

SCC then validates whether both exist and are equal as stored on the SCR.
