Signed Resources and Update Control

How signed configuration and release artifacts preserve accountability when systems change.

What it covers

Operational systems change. The trust model has to account for that change without relying on recollection or mutable state.

This brief covers signed resources as a control point for policy, configuration, release artifacts, and update posture.

Review areas

  • Signed configuration and release artifacts.
  • Update control in constrained environments.
  • Accountability for policy and algorithm changes.
  • Offline review and verification of what changed.
