# Sprint: Activate VEX Signature Verification Pipeline
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Sprint ID** | SPRINT_1227_0004_0001 |
| **Batch** | 001 - Activate Verification |
| **Module** | BE (Backend) |
| **Topic** | Replace NoopVexSignatureVerifier with real verification |
| **Priority** | P0 - Critical Path |
| **Estimated Effort** | Medium |
| **Dependencies** | Attestor.Verify, Cryptography, IssuerDirectory |
| **Working Directory** | `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Verification/` |
---
## Objective
Replace `NoopVexSignatureVerifier` with a production-ready implementation that:
1. Verifies DSSE/in-toto signatures on VEX documents
2. Validates key provenance against IssuerDirectory
3. Checks certificate chains for keyless attestations
4. Supports all crypto profiles (FIPS, eIDAS, GOST, SM)
---
## Background
### Current State
- `NoopVexSignatureVerifier` always returns `verified: true`
- `AttestorVerificationEngine` has full verification logic but isn't wired to VEX ingest
- `IssuerDirectory` stores issuer keys with validity windows and revocation status
- Signature metadata captured at ingest but not validated
### Target State
- All VEX documents with signatures are cryptographically verified
- Invalid signatures marked `verified: false` with reason
- Key provenance checked against IssuerDirectory
- Verification results cached in Valkey for performance
- Offline mode uses bundled trust anchors
---
## Deliverables
### D1: IVexSignatureVerifier Interface Enhancement
**File:** `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Verification/IVexSignatureVerifier.cs`
```csharp
public interface IVexSignatureVerifier
{
/// <summary>
/// Verify all signatures on a VEX document.
/// </summary>
Task<VexSignatureVerificationResult> VerifyAsync(
VexRawDocument document,
VexVerificationContext context,
CancellationToken ct = default);
/// <summary>
/// Batch verification for ingest performance.
/// </summary>
Task<IReadOnlyList<VexSignatureVerificationResult>> VerifyBatchAsync(
IEnumerable<VexRawDocument> documents,
VexVerificationContext context,
CancellationToken ct = default);
}
public sealed record VexVerificationContext
{
public required string TenantId { get; init; }
public required CryptoProfile Profile { get; init; }
public DateTimeOffset VerificationTime { get; init; }
public bool AllowExpiredCerts { get; init; } = false;
public bool RequireTimestamp { get; init; } = false;
public IReadOnlyList<string>? AllowedIssuers { get; init; }
}
public sealed record VexSignatureVerificationResult
{
public required string DocumentDigest { get; init; }
public required bool Verified { get; init; }
public required VerificationMethod Method { get; init; }
public string? KeyId { get; init; }
public string? IssuerName { get; init; }
public string? CertSubject { get; init; }
public IReadOnlyList<VerificationWarning>? Warnings { get; init; }
public VerificationFailureReason? FailureReason { get; init; }
public string? FailureMessage { get; init; }
public DateTimeOffset VerifiedAt { get; init; }
}
public enum VerificationMethod
{
None,
Cosign,
CosignKeyless,
Pgp,
X509,
Dsse,
DsseKeyless
}
public enum VerificationFailureReason
{
NoSignature,
InvalidSignature,
ExpiredCertificate,
RevokedCertificate,
UnknownIssuer,
UntrustedIssuer,
KeyNotFound,
ChainValidationFailed,
TimestampMissing,
AlgorithmNotAllowed
}
```
### D2: ProductionVexSignatureVerifier Implementation
**File:** `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Verification/ProductionVexSignatureVerifier.cs`
Core logic:
1. Extract signature metadata from document
2. Determine verification method (DSSE, cosign, PGP, x509)
3. Look up issuer in IssuerDirectory
4. Get signing key or certificate chain
5. Verify signature using appropriate crypto provider
6. Check key validity (not_before, not_after, revocation)
7. Return structured result with diagnostics
```csharp
public sealed class ProductionVexSignatureVerifier : IVexSignatureVerifier
{
private readonly IIssuerDirectoryClient _issuerDirectory;
private readonly ICryptoProviderRegistry _cryptoProviders;
private readonly IAttestorVerificationEngine _attestorEngine;
private readonly IVerificationCacheService _cache;
private readonly VexSignatureVerifierOptions _options;
public async Task<VexSignatureVerificationResult> VerifyAsync(
VexRawDocument document,
VexVerificationContext context,
CancellationToken ct)
{
// 1. Check cache
var cacheKey = $"vex-sig:{document.Digest}:{context.Profile}";
if (await _cache.TryGetAsync(cacheKey, out var cached))
return cached with { VerifiedAt = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow };
// 2. Extract signature info
var sigInfo = ExtractSignatureInfo(document);
if (sigInfo is null)
return NoSignatureResult(document.Digest);
// 3. Lookup issuer
var issuer = await _issuerDirectory.GetIssuerByKeyIdAsync(
sigInfo.KeyId, context.TenantId, ct);
// 4. Select verification strategy
var result = sigInfo.Method switch
{
VerificationMethod.Dsse => await VerifyDsseAsync(document, sigInfo, issuer, context, ct),
VerificationMethod.DsseKeyless => await VerifyDsseKeylessAsync(document, sigInfo, context, ct),
VerificationMethod.Cosign => await VerifyCosignAsync(document, sigInfo, issuer, context, ct),
VerificationMethod.Pgp => await VerifyPgpAsync(document, sigInfo, issuer, context, ct),
VerificationMethod.X509 => await VerifyX509Async(document, sigInfo, issuer, context, ct),
_ => UnsupportedMethodResult(document.Digest, sigInfo.Method)
};
// 5. Cache result
await _cache.SetAsync(cacheKey, result, _options.CacheTtl, ct);
return result;
}
}
```
### D3: Crypto Profile Selection
**File:** `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Verification/CryptoProfileSelector.cs`
Select appropriate crypto profile based on:
- Issuer metadata (jurisdiction field)
- Tenant configuration
- Document metadata hints
- Fallback to World profile
### D4: Verification Cache Service
**File:** `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Cache/VerificationCacheService.cs`
```csharp
public interface IVerificationCacheService
{
Task<bool> TryGetAsync(string key, out VexSignatureVerificationResult? result);
Task SetAsync(string key, VexSignatureVerificationResult result, TimeSpan ttl, CancellationToken ct);
Task InvalidateByIssuerAsync(string issuerId, CancellationToken ct);
}
```
Valkey-backed with:
- Key format: `vex-sig:{document_digest}:{crypto_profile}`
- TTL: Configurable (default 4 hours)
- Invalidation on key revocation events
### D5: IssuerDirectory Client Integration
**File:** `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/Clients/IIssuerDirectoryClient.cs`
```csharp
public interface IIssuerDirectoryClient
{
Task<IssuerInfo?> GetIssuerByKeyIdAsync(string keyId, string tenantId, CancellationToken ct);
Task<IssuerKey?> GetKeyAsync(string issuerId, string keyId, CancellationToken ct);
Task<bool> IsKeyRevokedAsync(string keyId, CancellationToken ct);
Task<IReadOnlyList<IssuerKey>> GetActiveKeysForIssuerAsync(string issuerId, CancellationToken ct);
}
```
### D6: DI Registration & Feature Flag
**File:** `src/Excititor/StellaOps.Excititor.WebService/Program.cs`
```csharp
if (configuration.GetValue<bool>("VexSignatureVerification:Enabled", false))
{
services.AddSingleton<IVexSignatureVerifier, ProductionVexSignatureVerifier>();
}
else
{
services.AddSingleton<IVexSignatureVerifier, NoopVexSignatureVerifier>();
}
```
### D7: Configuration
**File:** `etc/excititor.yaml.sample`
```yaml
VexSignatureVerification:
Enabled: true
DefaultProfile: "world"
RequireSignature: false # If true, reject unsigned documents
AllowExpiredCerts: false
CacheTtl: "4h"
IssuerDirectory:
ServiceUrl: "https://issuer-directory.internal/api"
Timeout: "5s"
OfflineBundle: "/var/stellaops/bundles/issuers.json"
TrustAnchors:
Fulcio:
- "/var/stellaops/trust/fulcio-root.pem"
Sigstore:
- "/var/stellaops/trust/sigstore-root.pem"
```
### D8: Unit & Integration Tests
**Files:**
- `src/Excititor/__Tests/StellaOps.Excititor.Core.Tests/Verification/ProductionVexSignatureVerifierTests.cs`
- `src/Excititor/__Tests/StellaOps.Excititor.WebService.Tests/VerificationIntegrationTests.cs`
Test cases:
- Valid DSSE signature → verified: true
- Invalid signature → verified: false, reason: InvalidSignature
- Expired certificate → verified: false, reason: ExpiredCertificate
- Revoked key → verified: false, reason: RevokedCertificate
- Unknown issuer → verified: false, reason: UnknownIssuer
- Keyless with valid chain → verified: true
- Cache hit returns cached result
- Batch verification performance (1000 docs < 5s)
- Profile selection based on jurisdiction

| T3 | Implement `CryptoProfileSelector` | DONE | Jurisdiction-based selection |
| T4 | Implement `VerificationCacheService` | DONE | InMemory + Valkey stub |
| T5 | Create `IIssuerDirectoryClient` | DONE | InMemory + HTTP clients |
| T6 | Wire DI with feature flag | DONE | VexVerificationServiceCollectionExtensions |

| T8 | Write unit tests | DONE | ProductionVexSignatureVerifierTests |
| T9 | Write integration tests | DONE | VerificationIntegrationTests.cs |
| T10 | Add telemetry/metrics | DONE | VexVerificationMetrics |
| T11 | Document offline mode | DONE | docs/airgap/VEX_SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION_OFFLINE_MODE.md |
---
## Telemetry
### Metrics
- `excititor_vex_signature_verification_total{method, outcome, profile}`
- `excititor_vex_signature_verification_latency_seconds{quantile}`
- `excititor_vex_signature_cache_hit_ratio`
- `excititor_vex_issuer_lookup_latency_seconds{quantile}`
### Traces
- Span: `VexSignatureVerifier.VerifyAsync`
- Attributes: document_digest, method, issuer_id, outcome
---
## Acceptance Criteria
1. [ ] DSSE signatures verified with Ed25519/ECDSA keys
2. [ ] Keyless attestations verified against Fulcio roots
3. [ ] Key revocation checked on every verification
4. [ ] Cache reduces p99 latency by 10x on repeated docs
5. [ ] Feature flag allows gradual rollout
6. [ ] GOST/SM2 profiles work when plugins loaded
7. [ ] Offline mode uses bundled trust anchors
8. [ ] Metrics exposed for verification outcomes
9. [ ] Unit test coverage > 90%
---
## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Feature flag default OFF | Non-breaking rollout |
| Cache by document digest + profile | Different profiles may have different outcomes |
| Fail open if IssuerDirectory unavailable | Availability over security (configurable) |
| No signature = warning, not failure | Many legacy VEX docs unsigned |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Performance regression on ingest | Cache aggressively; batch verification |
| Trust anchor freshness | Auto-refresh from Sigstore TUF |
| Clock skew affecting validity | Use configured tolerance (default 5min) |

- `findings-list.component.ts` has 7-column table (Score, Advisory, Package, Flags, Severity, Status)
- `VexTrustStatus` interface exists in `gating.model.ts`
- Data is available from API but not displayed as column
### Target State
- Trust column added to findings-list, triage-list, vulnerability tables
- Compact badge with hover popover showing breakdown
- Default sort option by trust score
- "Show evidence" link to issuer profile and Rekor transparency log

}
});
export const MediumTrust: Story = () => ({
props: {
trustStatus: { trustScore: 0.55, policyTrustThreshold: 0.7, meetsPolicyThreshold: false }
}
});
export const LowTrust: Story = () => ({
props: {
trustStatus: { trustScore: 0.25, policyTrustThreshold: 0.7, meetsPolicyThreshold: false }
}
});

8. [ ] Keyboard navigation works (Tab, Enter, Escape)
9. [ ] Dark mode renders correctly
10. [ ] Storybook stories cover all states

## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Reuse confidence-badge color palette | Consistent design system |
| Popover (not modal) for breakdown | Less disruptive, quick glance |
| Compact mode for card views | Space constraints in metadata row |
| Score visible on hover only (compact) | Reduce visual noise |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| Popover positioning edge cases | Use existing popover service |
| Missing trust data | Show "No VEX" badge gracefully |
| Performance with many rows | Virtual scrolling (existing) |

# Sprint: VexTrustGate Policy Integration
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Sprint ID** | SPRINT_1227_0004_0003 |
| **Batch** | 003 - Policy Gates |
| **Module** | BE (Backend) |
| **Topic** | VexTrustGate for policy enforcement |
| **Priority** | P1 - Control |
| **Estimated Effort** | Medium |
| **Dependencies** | SPRINT_1227_0004_0001 (verification data) |
| **Working Directory** | `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/` |
---
## Objective
Implement `VexTrustGate` as a new policy gate that:
1. Enforces minimum trust thresholds per environment
2. Blocks status transitions when trust is insufficient
3. Adds VEX trust as a factor in confidence scoring
4. Supports tenant-specific threshold overrides
---
## Background
### Current State
- Policy gate chain: EvidenceCompleteness → LatticeState → UncertaintyTier → Confidence
- `ConfidenceFactorType.Vex` exists but not populated with trust data
- `VexTrustStatus` available in `FindingGatingStatus` model
- `MinimumConfidenceGate` provides pattern for threshold enforcement
### Target State
- `VexTrustGate` added to policy gate chain (after LatticeState)
- Trust score contributes to confidence calculation
- Per-environment thresholds (production stricter than staging)
- Block/Warn/Allow based on trust level
- Audit trail includes trust decision rationale
---
## Deliverables
### D1: VexTrustGate Implementation
**File:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/VexTrustGate.cs`
```csharp
public sealed class VexTrustGate : IPolicyGate
{
private readonly IVexLensClient _vexLens;

public async Task<PolicyGateResult> EvaluateAsync(
PolicyGateContext context,
CancellationToken ct = default)
{
// 1. Check if gate applies to this status
if (!_options.ApplyToStatuses.Contains(context.RequestedStatus))
{
return PolicyGateResult.Pass(GateId, "status_not_applicable");
}
// 2. Get VEX trust data
var trustStatus = context.VexEvidence?.TrustStatus;
if (trustStatus is null)
{
return HandleMissingTrust(context);
}
// 3. Get environment-specific thresholds
var thresholds = GetThresholds(context.Environment);
// 4. Evaluate trust dimensions
var checks = new List<TrustCheck>

new("freshness",
IsAcceptableFreshness(trustStatus.Freshness, thresholds),
$"Freshness: {trustStatus.Freshness ?? "unknown"}")
};
if (thresholds.MinAccuracyRate.HasValue && trustStatus.TrustBreakdown?.AccuracyScore.HasValue == true)
{
checks.Add(new("accuracy_rate",
trustStatus.TrustBreakdown.AccuracyScore >= thresholds.MinAccuracyRate,
$"Accuracy {trustStatus.TrustBreakdown.AccuracyScore:P0} vs required {thresholds.MinAccuracyRate:P0}"));
}
// 5. Aggregate results
var failedChecks = checks.Where(c => !c.Passed).ToList();
if (failedChecks.Any())
{
var action = thresholds.FailureAction;
return new PolicyGateResult
{
GateId = GateId,
Decision = action == FailureAction.Block ? PolicyGateDecisionType.Block : PolicyGateDecisionType.Warn,
Reason = "vex_trust_below_threshold",
Details = ImmutableDictionary<string, object>.Empty
.Add("failed_checks", failedChecks.Select(c => c.Name).ToList())

};
}
private record TrustCheck(string Name, bool Passed, string Reason);
}
```
### D2: VexTrustGateOptions
**File:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/VexTrustGateOptions.cs`
```csharp
public sealed class VexTrustGateOptions
{
public bool Enabled { get; set; } = false; // Feature flag
public IReadOnlyDictionary<string, VexTrustThresholds> Thresholds { get; set; } =
new Dictionary<string, VexTrustThresholds>
{
["production"] = new()
{
MinCompositeScore = 0.80m,

FailureAction = FailureAction.Warn
}
};
public IReadOnlyCollection<VexStatus> ApplyToStatuses { get; set; } = new[]
{
VexStatus.NotAffected,
VexStatus.Fixed
};
public decimal VexTrustFactorWeight { get; set; } = 0.20m;
public MissingTrustBehavior MissingTrustBehavior { get; set; } = MissingTrustBehavior.Warn;
}
public sealed class VexTrustThresholds

public FailureAction FailureAction { get; set; }
}
public enum FailureAction { Block, Warn }
public enum MissingTrustBehavior { Block, Warn, Allow }
```
### D3: Confidence Factor Integration
**File:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Confidence/VexTrustConfidenceFactor.cs`
```csharp
public sealed class VexTrustConfidenceFactorProvider : IConfidenceFactorProvider
{
public ConfidenceFactorType Type => ConfidenceFactorType.Vex;
public ConfidenceFactor? ComputeFactor(
PolicyEvaluationContext context,
ConfidenceFactorOptions options)
{
var trustStatus = context.Vex?.TrustStatus;
if (trustStatus?.TrustScore is null)
return null;
var score = trustStatus.TrustScore.Value;
var tier = ComputeTier(score);
return new ConfidenceFactor
{
Type = ConfidenceFactorType.Vex,
Weight = options.VexTrustWeight,
RawValue = score,
Reason = BuildReason(trustStatus, tier),
EvidenceDigests = BuildEvidenceDigests(trustStatus)
};
}
private string BuildReason(VexTrustStatus status, string tier)
{
var parts = new List<string>
{
$"VEX trust: {tier}"
};
if (status.IssuerName is not null)
parts.Add($"from {status.IssuerName}");
if (status.SignatureVerified == true)
parts.Add("signature verified");
if (status.Freshness is not null)
parts.Add($"freshness: {status.Freshness}");
return string.Join("; ", parts);
}
private IReadOnlyList<string> BuildEvidenceDigests(VexTrustStatus status)
{
var digests = new List<string>();
if (status.IssuerName is not null)
digests.Add($"issuer:{status.IssuerId}");
if (status.SignatureVerified == true)
digests.Add($"sig:{status.SignatureMethod}");
if (status.RekorLogIndex.HasValue)
digests.Add($"rekor:{status.RekorLogId}:{status.RekorLogIndex}");
return digests;
}
}
```
### D4: Gate Chain Registration
**File:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/Gates/PolicyGateEvaluator.cs`
```csharp
// Add to gate chain
private IReadOnlyList<IPolicyGate> BuildGateChain(PolicyGateOptions options)
{
var gates = new List<IPolicyGate>();
if (options.EvidenceCompleteness.Enabled)
gates.Add(_serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<EvidenceCompletenessGate>());
if (options.LatticeState.Enabled)
gates.Add(_serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<LatticeStateGate>());
// NEW: VexTrust gate
if (options.VexTrust.Enabled)
gates.Add(_serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<VexTrustGate>());
if (options.UncertaintyTier.Enabled)
gates.Add(_serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<UncertaintyTierGate>());
if (options.Confidence.Enabled)
gates.Add(_serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ConfidenceThresholdGate>());
return gates.OrderBy(g => g.Order).ToList();
}
```
### D5: DI Registration
**File:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/ServiceCollectionExtensions.cs`
```csharp
public static IServiceCollection AddPolicyGates(
this IServiceCollection services,
IConfiguration configuration)
{
services.Configure<VexTrustGateOptions>(
configuration.GetSection("PolicyGates:VexTrust"));
services.AddSingleton<VexTrustGate>();
services.AddSingleton<IConfidenceFactorProvider, VexTrustConfidenceFactorProvider>();
return services;
}
```
### D6: Configuration Schema
**File:** `etc/policy-engine.yaml.sample`
```yaml
PolicyGates:
Enabled: true
VexTrust:
Enabled: true
Thresholds:
production:
MinCompositeScore: 0.80
RequireIssuerVerified: true
MinAccuracyRate: 0.90
AcceptableFreshness: ["fresh"]
FailureAction: Block
staging:
MinCompositeScore: 0.60
RequireIssuerVerified: false
MinAccuracyRate: 0.75
AcceptableFreshness: ["fresh", "stale"]
FailureAction: Warn
development:
MinCompositeScore: 0.40
RequireIssuerVerified: false
AcceptableFreshness: ["fresh", "stale", "expired"]
FailureAction: Warn
ApplyToStatuses: ["not_affected", "fixed"]
VexTrustFactorWeight: 0.20
MissingTrustBehavior: Warn
VexLens:
ServiceUrl: "https://vexlens.internal/api"
Timeout: "5s"
RetryPolicy: "exponential"
```
### D7: Audit Trail Enhancement
**File:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Persistence/Entities/PolicyAuditEntity.cs`
Add VEX trust details to audit records:
```csharp
public sealed class PolicyAuditEntity
{
// ... existing fields ...
// NEW: VEX trust audit data
public decimal? VexTrustScore { get; set; }
public string? VexTrustTier { get; set; }
public bool? VexSignatureVerified { get; set; }
public string? VexIssuerId { get; set; }
public string? VexIssuerName { get; set; }
public string? VexTrustGateResult { get; set; }
public string? VexTrustGateReason { get; set; }
}
```
### D8: Unit & Integration Tests
**Files:**
- `src/Policy/__Tests/StellaOps.Policy.Engine.Tests/Gates/VexTrustGateTests.cs`
- `src/Policy/__Tests/StellaOps.Policy.Gateway.Tests/VexTrustGateIntegrationTests.cs`
Test cases:
- High trust + production → Allow
- Low trust + production → Block
- Medium trust + staging → Warn
- Missing trust data + Warn behavior → Warn
- Missing trust data + Block behavior → Block
- Signature not verified + RequireIssuerVerified → Block
- Stale freshness + production → Block
- Confidence factor correctly aggregated
- Audit trail includes trust details

---
## Telemetry
### Metrics
- `policy_vextrust_gate_evaluations_total{environment, decision, reason}`
- `policy_vextrust_gate_latency_seconds{quantile}`
- `policy_vextrust_confidence_contribution{tier}`
### Traces
- Span: `VexTrustGate.EvaluateAsync`
- Attributes: environment, trust_score, decision, issuer_id
---
## Acceptance Criteria
1. [ ] VexTrustGate evaluates after LatticeState, before UncertaintyTier
2. [ ] Production blocks on low trust; staging warns
3. [ ] Per-environment thresholds configurable
4. [ ] VEX trust contributes to confidence score
5. [ ] Audit trail records trust decision details
6. [ ] Feature flag allows gradual rollout
7. [ ] Missing trust handled according to config
8. [ ] Metrics exposed for monitoring
9. [ ] Unit test coverage > 90%
---
## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Feature flag default OFF | Non-breaking rollout to existing tenants |
| Order 250 (after LatticeState) | Trust validation after basic lattice checks |
| Block only in production | Progressive enforcement; staging gets warnings |
| Trust factor weight 0.20 | Balanced with other factors (reachability 0.30, provenance 0.25) |
| Risk | Mitigation |
|------|------------|
| VexLens unavailable | Fallback to cached trust scores |
| Performance regression | Cache trust scores with TTL |
| Threshold tuning needed | Shadow mode logging before enforcement |
---
## Rollout Plan
1. **Phase 1 (Feature Flag):** Deploy with `Enabled: false`
2. **Phase 2 (Shadow Mode):** Enable with `FailureAction: Warn` everywhere
3. **Phase 3 (Analyze):** Review warn logs, tune thresholds
4. **Phase 4 (Production Enforcement):** Set `FailureAction: Block` for production
5. **Phase 5 (Full Rollout):** Enable for all tenants

# Sprint: Signed TrustVerdict Attestations
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Sprint ID** | SPRINT_1227_0004_0004 |
| **Batch** | 004 - Attestations & Cache |
| **Module** | LB (Library) |
| **Topic** | Signed TrustVerdict for deterministic replay |
| **Priority** | P1 - Audit |
| **Estimated Effort** | Medium |
| **Dependencies** | SPRINT_1227_0004_0001, SPRINT_1227_0004_0003 |
| **Working Directory** | `src/Attestor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Attestor.TrustVerdict/` |
---
## Objective
Create signed `TrustVerdict` attestations that:
1. Bundle verification results with evidence chain
2. Are DSSE-signed for non-repudiation
3. Can be OCI-attached for distribution
4. Support deterministic replay (same inputs → same verdict)
5. Are Valkey-cached for performance
---
## Background
### Current State
- `AttestorVerificationEngine` verifies signatures but doesn't produce attestations
- DSSE infrastructure complete (`DsseEnvelope`, `EnvelopeSignatureService`)
- OCI attachment patterns exist in Signer module
- Valkey cache infrastructure available
- No `TrustVerdict` predicate type defined
### Target State
- `TrustVerdictPredicate` in-toto predicate type
- `TrustVerdictService` generates signed verdicts
- OCI attachment for distribution with images
- Valkey cache for fast lookups
- Deterministic outputs for replay
---

- No insignificant whitespace
- Timestamps in ISO-8601 UTC (`YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ`)
- Numbers without trailing zeros
### Verdict Digest Computation
```csharp
var canonical = CanonicalJsonSerializer.Serialize(predicate);
var digest = SHA256.HashData(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(canonical));
return $"sha256:{Convert.ToHexStringLower(digest)}";
```
### Evidence Ordering
- Items sorted by digest ascending
- Merkle tree built deterministically (power-of-2 padding)
---
## Acceptance Criteria
1. [ ] `TrustVerdictPredicate` schema matches in-toto conventions
2. [ ] Same inputs produce identical verdict digest
3. [ ] DSSE envelope verifiable with standard tools
4. [ ] Evidence Merkle root reproducible
5. [ ] Valkey cache reduces generation latency by 10x
6. [ ] OCI attachment works with standard registries
7. [ ] Rekor publishing works when enabled
8. [ ] Offline mode works without Rekor/OCI
9. [ ] Unit test coverage > 90%
---
## Decisions & Risks
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| Predicate URI `stellaops.dev/predicates/trust-verdict@v1` | Namespace for StellaOps-specific predicates |

# Advisory Analysis: VEX Trust Verifier
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Advisory ID** | ADV-2025-1227-002 |
| **Title** | VEX Trust Verifier with Trust Column |
| **Status** | APPROVED - Ready for Implementation |
| **Priority** | P0 - Strategic Differentiator |
| **Overall Effort** | Low-Medium (85% infrastructure exists) |
| **ROI Assessment** | VERY HIGH - Polish effort, major UX win |
---
## Executive Summary
This advisory proposes a VEX Trust Verifier that cryptographically verifies VEX statement origin, freshness, and issuer reputation, surfaced as a "Trust" column in tables. **Analysis reveals StellaOps already has 85% of this infrastructure built.**
### Verdict: **PROCEED - Activation and Integration Effort**
This is primarily about **wiring existing components together** and **activating dormant capabilities**, not building from scratch.
---
## Gap Analysis Summary
| Capability | Advisory Proposes | StellaOps Has | Gap |
|------------|------------------|---------------|-----|
| Origin verification | Sig verify (DSSE/x509) | ✅ AttestorVerificationEngine | NoopVerifier active |
| Freshness checking | issued_at/expires_at/supersedes | ✅ Trust decay service | Complete |
| Reputation scoring | Rolling score per issuer | ✅ TrustScorecard (5 dimensions) | AccuracyMetrics alpha |
| Trust formula | 0.5×Origin + 0.3×Freshness + 0.2×Reputation | ✅ ClaimScore formula | Weights differ |
| Badge system | 🟢/🟡/🔴 | ✅ confidence-badge component | Complete |
| Trust column | New table column | ✅ Components exist | Integration needed |
| Policy gates | Block on low trust | ✅ MinimumConfidenceGate | VexTrustGate missing |
| Crypto profiles | FIPS/eIDAS/GOST/SM | ✅ 6 profiles + plugin arch | Complete |
| Signed verdicts | OCI-attachable TrustVerdict | ✅ DSSE infrastructure | Predicate type missing |
| Valkey cache | Fast lookups | ✅ Cache infrastructure | TrustVerdict caching |
---
## Existing Asset Inventory
### Trust Lattice (Excititor)
**Location:** `src/Excititor/__Libraries/StellaOps.Excititor.Core/`
```
ClaimScore = BaseTrust(S) × M × F
BaseTrust = 0.45×Provenance + 0.35×Coverage + 0.20×Replayability
```
**Default trust vectors:**
| Source | Provenance | Coverage | Replayability |
|--------|-----------|----------|---------------|
| Vendor | 0.90 | 0.70 | 0.60 |
| Distro | 0.80 | 0.85 | 0.60 |
| Internal | 0.85 | 0.95 | 0.90 |
| Hub | 0.60 | 0.50 | 0.40 |
### Source Trust Scoring (VexLens)
**Location:** `src/VexLens/StellaOps.VexLens/`
5-dimensional composite:
```
TrustScore = 0.25×Authority + 0.30×Accuracy + 0.15×Timeliness + 0.10×Coverage + 0.20×Verification
```
**TrustScorecardApiModels.cs provides:**
- `TrustScoreSummary` with composite score and tier
- `AccuracyMetrics` with confirmation/revocation/false-positive rates
- `VerificationMetrics` with signature status
### Issuer Trust Registry (IssuerDirectory)
**Location:** `src/IssuerDirectory/`
**PostgreSQL schema (`issuer.*`):**
- `issuers` - Identity, endpoints, tags, status
- `issuer_keys` - Public keys with validity windows, fingerprints
- `trust_overrides` - Per-tenant weight overrides (0.01.0)
- `audit` - Full audit trail of changes
### Signature Verification (Attestor)
**Location:** `src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.Verify/`
**AttestorVerificationEngine supports:**
- KMS mode (HMAC-SHA256)
- Keyless mode (X.509 chains with custom Fulcio roots)
- Rekor integration (Merkle proofs, checkpoint validation)
- Fixed-time comparison (timing-attack resistant)
**Gap:** `NoopVexSignatureVerifier` is active in runtime.
### Crypto-Sovereign Profiles
**Location:** `src/__Libraries/StellaOps.Cryptography/`
| Profile | Hash | Signature |
|---------|------|-----------|
| World (ISO) | BLAKE3/SHA-256 | ECDSA/Ed25519 |
| FIPS 140-3 | SHA-256 | ECDSA P-256/P-384 |
| GOST R 34.11 | Stribog | GOST 34.10-2012 |
| GB/T SM3 | SM3 | SM2 |
| eIDAS | SHA-256/384 | ECDSA/RSA |
| KCMVP | SHA-256 | ECDSA with ARIA/SEED |
Plugin architecture with jurisdiction enforcement.
### Policy Integration
**Location:** `src/Policy/StellaOps.Policy.Engine/`
**Already has:**
- `ConfidenceFactorType.Vex` in enum
- `MinimumConfidenceGate` with per-environment thresholds
- `VexTrustStatus` in `FindingGatingStatus` model
- Gate chain architecture (EvidenceCompleteness → LatticeState → UncertaintyTier → Confidence)
### UI Components
**Location:** `src/Web/StellaOps.Web/src/app/`
| Component | Purpose | Reusable |
|-----------|---------|----------|
| `vex-status-chip` | OpenVEX status badges | ✅ Yes |
| `vex-trust-display` | Score vs threshold breakdown | ✅ Yes |
| `confidence-badge` | 3-tier visual (🟢/🟡/🔴) | ✅ Yes |
| `score-breakdown-popover` | Auto-positioning detail panel | ✅ Yes |
| `findings-list` | Table with sortable columns | Integration target |

## Recommended Implementation Batches
### Batch 001: Activate Verification (P0 - Do First)
Wire signature verification to replace NoopVerifier.
| Sprint | Topic | Effort |
|--------|-------|--------|
| SPRINT_1227_0004_0001 | Activate signature verification pipeline | Medium |
### Batch 002: Trust Column UI (P0 - User Value)
Add Trust column to all VEX-displaying tables.
| Sprint | Topic | Effort |
|--------|-------|--------|
| SPRINT_1227_0004_0002 | Trust column UI integration | Low |
### Batch 003: Policy Gates (P1 - Control)
Implement VexTrustGate for policy enforcement.
| Sprint | Topic | Effort |
|--------|-------|--------|
| SPRINT_1227_0004_0003 | VexTrustGate policy integration | Medium |
### Batch 004: Attestations & Cache (P1 - Audit)
Signed TrustVerdict for deterministic replay.
| Sprint | Topic | Effort |
|--------|-------|--------|
| SPRINT_1227_0004_0004 | Signed TrustVerdict attestations | Medium |
---
## Success Metrics
| Metric | Target | Measurement |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| Signature verification rate | > 95% of VEX statements | Telemetry: verification outcomes |
| Trust column visibility | 100% of VEX tables | UI audit |
| Policy gate adoption | > 50% of production tenants | Config audit |
| Reputation accuracy | < 5% false trust (validated by post-mortems) | Retrospective analysis |
| Cache hit rate | > 90% for TrustVerdict lookups | Valkey metrics |
---
## Comparison: Advisory vs. Existing
### Trust Score Formula
**Advisory proposes:**
```
score = 0.5×Origin + 0.3×Freshness + 0.2×ReputationHistory
```
**StellaOps has (ClaimScore):**
```
score = BaseTrust × M × F
BaseTrust = 0.45×Provenance + 0.35×Coverage + 0.20×Replayability
F = freshness decay with 90-day half-life
```
**VexLens has (SourceTrustScore):**
```
score = 0.25×Authority + 0.30×Accuracy + 0.15×Timeliness + 0.10×Coverage + 0.20×Verification
```
**Recommendation:** Align advisory formula with existing VexLens 5-dimensional model. It's more granular and already operational.
### Badge Thresholds
**Advisory proposes:** ≥0.8 🟢, ≥0.6 🟡, else 🔴
**StellaOps has (ConfidenceTier):**
- ≥0.9 VeryHigh
- ≥0.7 High
- ≥0.5 Medium
- ≥0.3 Low
- <0.3 VeryLow
**Recommendation:** Map VeryHigh/High 🟢, Medium 🟡, Low/VeryLow 🔴
---
## Risk Assessment
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|------------|
| Signature verification performance | Medium | Medium | Cache verified status by DSSE hash |
| Key revocation during flight | Low | High | Check revocation list on verify |
| Trust score gaming | Low | Medium | Cross-issuer consensus, anomaly detection |
| Offline mode without fresh data | Medium | Medium | Bundle trust scores with staleness signals |
---
## Schema Additions (Minimal)
Most schema already exists. Only additions:
```sql
-- Trust verdict cache (optional, Valkey preferred)
CREATE TABLE vex.trust_verdicts (
vex_digest TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
origin_ok BOOLEAN NOT NULL,
freshness TEXT CHECK (freshness IN ('fresh', 'stale', 'superseded', 'expired')),
reputation_score NUMERIC(5,4) NOT NULL,
composite_score NUMERIC(5,4) NOT NULL,
tier TEXT NOT NULL,
reasons JSONB NOT NULL DEFAULT '[]',
evidence_merkle_root TEXT,
attestation_dsse_hash TEXT,
computed_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
expires_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL
);
CREATE INDEX idx_trust_verdicts_expires ON vex.trust_verdicts(expires_at)
WHERE expires_at > NOW();
```
---

| Replay success rate | > 99% verdict reproducibility | Replay engine metrics |
---
## Comparison: Advisory vs. Existing
### Proof Tree Structure
**Advisory proposes:**
```
Finding
├── SBOM Evidence (component identification)
├── Match Evidence (vulnerability match)
├── Reachability Evidence (call path)
├── Runtime Evidence (signals)
└── Policy Evidence (evaluation)
```
**StellaOps has (ProofSpine):**
```
ProofSpine
├── SbomSlice (component digest + coordinates)
├── Match (advisory reference + version check)
├── Reachability (call graph path + entry points)
├── GuardAnalysis (mitigations + guards)
├── RuntimeObservation (signal correlation)
└── PolicyEval (policy result + factors)
```
**Recommendation:** Existing ProofSpine is more granular. Map GuardAnalysis to "Mitigation Evidence" in UI.
### Diff Detection
**Advisory proposes:** Highlight changed findings between scans
**StellaOps has (SmartDiff):**
- R1-R4 detection rules with severity classification
- `MaterialRiskChangeResult` with risk state snapshots
- `DiffBadgeComponent` for visual indicators
**Recommendation:** Existing SmartDiff exceeds advisory requirements.
---
## Risk Assessment
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|------------|
| Performance with large proof trees | Medium | Low | Lazy loading, virtualization |
| Audit pack size for complex findings | Low | Medium | Compression, selective export |
| Replay determinism edge cases | Low | High | Extensive test coverage |
---
## Schema Additions (Minimal)
Most schema already exists. Only UI state additions:
```typescript
// User preference for default view
interface UserDashboardPreferences {
defaultView: 'detail' | 'diff';
proofTreeExpandedByDefault: boolean;
showConfidenceBadges: boolean;
}
```
---
## Decision Log
| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|------|----------|-----------|
| 2025-12-27 | Use existing ProofSpine as-is | Already comprehensive (6 segments) |
| 2025-12-27 | Diff-first as toggle, not forced | User preference respected |
| 2025-12-27 | Adapt existing CompareView | 95% code reuse |
| 2025-12-27 | Complete AuditPack vs rebuild | Scaffolding solid, just wiring needed |
