Support policies for attestations #122

@migmartri

Description

@migmartri

Currently, no verification is done when an attestation is received in the control plane. Creation and validation checks are done in the client side, but not on the server side.

We should allow operators to attach rego or potentially cue policies to their contracts and these should get evaluated during the reception of the attestation.

We created a task #35 which will get superseded by this functionality since 35 is in fact a policy check that some materials exist and that the runner type is correct.

re: implementation

  • We can start with making this check an enforcement, meaning that if the policy check fails the att push command will too since the check for the first version could be sync.
  • We could implement this check as a fan-out integration. Create it by default in your org and automatically attach it to each of your workflows.

About the policy format.

We should probably aim towards Open Policy Agent (OPA) and leverage (conftest) logic. We should take a look at policy-controller way of doing this

On the UX side of things we could allow attaching a policy to our contract today.

example from policy-controller that could map our current contract too.

using cue

policy:
        type: cue
        data: |
          predicateType: "https://cosign.sigstore.dev/attestation/v1"
          predicate: "foobar e2e test"

or rego

policy:
        type: rego
        data: |
          package sigstore
          default isCompliant = false
          isCompliant {
            input.predicateType == "https://cosign.sigstore.dev/attestation/v1"
            input.predicate == "foobar e2e test"
          }

Note: If we go ahead with the implementation based on an integration. We would need to extend the integrations model to read from its result and apply it to the workflow runs. Currently they are just fire and forget.
