PyPI now supports digital attestations

Thursday November 14, 2024. 10:22 PM , from LWN.net
The Python Package Index (PyPI) has announced
that it has finalized support for PEP 740 ('Index support
for digital attestations'). Trail of Bits, which performed
much of the development work for the implementation, has an in-depth
blog post about the work and its adoption, as well as what is left
undone:

One thing is notably missing from all of this work:
downstream verification.

This isn't an acceptable end state (cryptographic attestations have
defensive properties only insofar as they're actually
verified), so we're looking into ways to bring
verification to individual installing clients. In particular, we're
currently working on a plugin architecture
for pip that will enable users to load
verification logic directly into their pip install
flows.
