"New Cryptographic Protocol Aims to Bolster Open-Source Software Security"

BastionZero's OpenPubkey is a new cryptographic protocol designed to strengthen the open-source software (OSS) ecosystem. It is now a Linux Foundation open-source project. Additionally, Docker is integrating OpenPubkey for container signing. This cryptographic technology aims to provide increased security via zero-trust passwordless authentication. OpenPubkey provides this authentication by making a client-side modification to OpenID Connect, which is an OAuth 2.0 framework-based authentication protocol. Together, these technologies make it easier for programmers to verify the identity of a user. This article continues to discuss the new cryptographic protocol.
