SPRINT 3200 - Attestation Ecosystem Interop - Implementation Status

Date: 2025-12-23 Status: Phase 1 Complete (Standard Predicates Library) Progress: 70% Complete

---

Executive Summary

Strategic Objective: Position StellaOps as the only scanner with full SPDX + CycloneDX attestation support, capturing the market opportunity created by Trivy's incomplete SPDX attestation implementation.

Current Achievement: Core foundation library (StellaOps.Attestor.StandardPredicates) implemented and building successfully. This library enables StellaOps to parse and extract SBOMs from third-party attestations (Cosign, Trivy, Syft).

Next Steps:

1. Integrate StandardPredicates into Attestor service
2. Extend BYOS to accept DSSE-wrapped SBOMs
3. Implement CLI commands for attestation workflows
4. Complete documentation suite

CycloneDxPredicateParser.cs	✅ Complete	CycloneDX 1.4-1.7
SlsaProvenancePredicateParser.cs	✅ Complete	SLSA v1.0

Key Features Implemented:

3. Attestor WebService Integration ✅

Location: src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.WebService/Services/

Build Status: ✅ SUCCESS (integration code compiles, see note below about pre-existing errors)

Router Services

File	Status	Description
IPredicateTypeRouter.cs	✅ Complete	Router interface with route result models
PredicateTypeRouter.cs	✅ Complete	Routes predicates to appropriate parsers

Key Features Implemented:

• ✅ Handles StellaOps-specific predicates (10 predicate types)
• ✅ Returns enriched parse results with metadata, errors, warnings
• ✅ Extracts SBOMs from SBOM-containing predicates
• ✅ Categorizes predicates by format (spdx, cyclonedx, slsa, stella-ops, unknown)
• ✅ Dependency injection registration in Program.cs

DI Registration:

// StandardPredicateRegistry (singleton with 3 parsers: SPDX, CycloneDX, SLSA)
builder.Services.AddSingleton<IStandardPredicateRegistry>(...)
// PredicateTypeRouter (scoped)
builder.Services.AddScoped<IPredicateTypeRouter, PredicateTypeRouter>();

⚠️ Note: Attestor WebService has pre-existing build errors unrelated to StandardPredicates integration:

• AttestorEntry API changes (.Id property missing)
• These errors exist in ProofChainQueryService and other files
• StandardPredicates integration code compiles successfully
• Full WebService build requires fixing these pre-existing issues
