Support keyless Signature verification using only Root certificate

[Mukuls77]

Support keyless Signature verification using only Root certificate

Use case Description:

1. A company has a private CA which is being used to sign the artifacts.
2. Private CA generates Signature, Certificate and Cert Chain associated to the Artifact.
3. certificate linkage is Signature <- Leaf Cert <- Intermediate cert <- Root Cert.
4. Signer uses the cosign attach command to attach the Signature, Cert and Cert chain with artifact in registry
5. Root Cert is shared to the verifier via out of band mechanism.
6. Verifier uses the provided Root cert only to verify the Signature using the cosign verify command.

Issue Description
currently cosign support verification of the signature using just root certificate using following mechanism.

We have an artifact which has associated signature, cert and cert chain in the registry.

showing the manifest of the signature for refrence.

1. set Environment Variable SIGSTORE_ROOT_FILE to point to trusted Root certificate.
   export SIGSTORE_ROOT_FILE=
2. use cosign verify command as shown below.

It works only when i use the complete cert chain i.e. (Intermediate cert + Root Cert) in the argument

Impact and benefit of this issue
currently as i notice policy controller only support passing complete cert chain in the argument to validate the signature.
This will have impact on usability in the case where an organization generates separate Intermediate Certs for its departments, so in such case the policy logic will become complex

1. we need to create separate trust root including specific pairs of +
2. and use specific trust root in the policy logic as per the image being verified.

This can be made simple if we allow only Root cert to be used for verification as is allowed in cosign tool. In that case we will just need a single Trust Root and can use that trust root in all the policies.

I have tested the scenario on a cluster now sharing the working and not working logs
TestResults.zip

[hectorj2f]

@Mukuls77 I am afraid this behaviour is intentional to ask for any intermediate and the root certificate.

[Mukuls77]

Hi Hector the cosign base code support the flow in which we set the SIGSTORE_ROOT_FILE env variable to rootCert and than in verify command we dont pass any Intermediate cert so than cosign picks the cert chain and cert from the Registry and validate those using the Root cert provided in SIGSTORE_ROOT_FILE. so a similar behaviour should be supported when we are using policy controller
also kindly ignore the failed logs traces i shared before today there was a mistake in my policy i am now sharing the correct failed log traces here now
NotWorkingLogswithRootCertOnly.zip

[hectorj2f]

@Mukuls77 Alright! I'll have a look at the logs.

[hectorj2f]

@Mukuls77 I've tried using the certChain containing the SIGSTORE_ROOT_FILE (with only the root certificate), and it worked for me. Are you sure you set the right organization and commonName aligned with your certificate ? I saw the content of the certificate and they don't match the value entered in the trustRoot.

Please, make sure you're using the root certificate only.

[Mukuls77]

Hi Hector thanks for the update. actually i used a new set of certs for generating these logs, and i validated that i am using correct root cert in my test. I am sharing the cert used for this test for your view.

cert used.zip

also when i use Intemediate cert + root cert in the cert chain than the policy controller works fine. it only fails when i am using only root cert.

logs attached for working case

workingLogs.zip

[Mukuls77]

Hi Hector i tried the policy validation again with a different set of leaf, intermediate and root cert but the result is the same if it only use root cert in the Trustroot than validation fails but it works if i use Intermediate cert + root cert in the trust root. as you mentioned it worked for you can you pls share the certs you used for your case (leaf, intermediate, root) so that i can check what is the difference in my case.

[Mukuls77]

@hectorj2f can you pls provide the certs (leaf , intermediate, root) and the leaf key so that i can check this case, as i tried it myself using my certs and cert chain but it is not working till i provide complete cert chain (intermediate + root) in the trust root. It only work for me when i have only leaf and root cert as the complete chain i.e. no intermediate cert is present, as i use an intermediate cert than just setting root cert in trust root does not work.
But as i explained before the same scenario works with cosign when i just set SIGSTORE_ROOT_FILE to root cert.
