  • Support keyless and keyful signing backends.
  • Emit DSSE payloads consumed by Attestor and downstream bundles.
  • Maintain audit trails for all signing operations.

Key components

  • StellaOps.Signer service host.
  • Crypto providers under StellaOps.Cryptography.*.

Integrations & dependencies

  • Authority for OpTok validation.
  • Attestor for transparency logging.
  • Export Center and CLI for artifact signing flows.

Operational notes

  • Key management via Authority/DevOps runbooks.
  • Metrics for signing latency/throttle states.
  • Offline kit integration for signature verification.

Backlog references

Epic alignment

  • Epic 10 Export Center: provide signing pipelines, cosign interoperability, and provenance manifests for bundle promotion.
  • Epic 19 Attestor Console: supply DSSE payloads and Proof-of-Entitlement enforcement feeding attestation workflows described in docs/modules/attestor/.
