Open Integrity: A Cryptographic Root of Trust for Git Repositories

(last updated 2024-02-18, Christopher Allen ChristopherA@LifeWithAlacrity.com Github/Twitter/Bluesky: @ChristopherA)

Introduction & Problem Statement

The Open Integrity project, an initiative of Blockchain Commons, demonstrates how Git repositories can serve as a cryptographic root of trust, ensuring integrity, provenance, and accountability in software development. By combining Git's native signing capabilities with structured cryptographic verification and auditing processes, this proof-of-concept creates tamper-resistant and independently verifiable software and data stores.

This approach enables:

Git Worktree Best Practices and Tools

Git Worktree Best Practices and Tools

Last Updated: 2024-02-06

Overview

Git worktrees allow you to check out multiple branches simultaneously in separate directories, while sharing a single .git metadata store.

THere are some best practices, useful Git aliases, and shell functions for efficiently managing Git worktrees. It covers:

  • Setting up Git aliases for worktree operations.
  • Using shell functions for enhanced worktree management.

MuSig2 Sequence Diagrams

MuSig2 Sequence Diagrams

  • ABSTRACT: This document provides sequence diagrams for the MuSig2 multisignature protocol, covering 2-of-2 multisig with direct peer-to-peer interaction and 3-of-3 multisig with a Coordinator. It integrates GSTP and ESC to ensure secure, trustless communication, offering a practical guide for implementing efficient, private, and secure multisig solutions.
