Developers across the enterprise space are concerned about the security of the open-source software supply chain which they heavily depend on for their application development. In response, Google plans to make its own security-hardened internal open-source component repository available as a new paid service called Assured Open Source Software (Assured OSS).
The service will contain common open-source packages that have been built from source code after the code’s provenance and that of its dependencies has been vetted and the code has been reviewed and tested for vulnerabilities. The resulting packages will contain rich metadata that’s compliant with the new Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) framework and will be digitally signed by Google.
