Description:
tuf 5.0.0
A Framework for Securing Software Update Systems
The Update Framework (TUF) is a framework for
secure content delivery and updates. It protects against various types of
supply chain attacks and provides resilience to compromise. This repository is a
reference implementation written in Python. It is intended to conform to
version 1.0 of the TUF
specification.
Python-TUF provides the following APIs:
tuf.api.metadata,
a "low-level" API, designed to provide easy and safe access to TUF
metadata and to handle (de)serialization from/to files.
tuf.ngclient,
a client implementation built on top of the metadata API.
tuf.repository, a repository library also built on top of the metadata
API. This module is currently not considered part of python-tuf stable API.
The reference implementation strives to be a readable guide and demonstration
for those working on implementing TUF in their own languages, environments, or
update systems.
About The Update Framework
The Update Framework (TUF) design helps developers maintain the security of a
software update system, even against attackers that compromise the repository
or signing keys.
TUF provides a flexible
specification
defining functionality that developers can use in any software update system or
re-implement to fit their needs.
TUF is hosted by the Linux Foundation as
part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)
and its design is used in production
by various tech companies and open source organizations. A variant of TUF
called Uptane is used to secure over-the-air
updates in automobiles.
Please see TUF's website for more information about TUF!
