a new testing service at beta.tests.reproducible-builds.org, showing actual rebuilds of binaries distributed by both the Debian and Qubes distributions

sigstore, a project that endeavours to offer software signing as a “public good, [the] software-signing equivalent to Let’s Encrypt”. The two posts, the first entitled Sigstore: A Solution to Software Supply Chain Security outlines more about the project and justifies its existence:

Software signing is not a new problem, so there must be some solution already, right? Yes, but signing software and maintaining keys is very difficult especially for non-security folks and UX of existing tools such as PGP leave much to be desired. That’s why we need something like sigstore - an easy to use software/toolset for signing software artifacts.

The second post (titled Signing Software The Easy Way with Sigstore and Cosign) goes into some technical details of getting started.

The Reproducible Builds project runs a testing framework at tests.reproducible-builds.org, to check packages and other artifacts for reproducibility.
