# OpenSquilla Code Signing Policy
|
||||
|
||||
This policy documents the current code signing status for OpenSquilla release
|
||||
artifacts and the rules for any future signing workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Status
|
||||
|
||||
Windows release builds are currently unsigned. The Windows desktop installer,
|
||||
updater metadata, and checksums are built and published without a Windows
|
||||
code-signing certificate. Download pages and release notes must not claim Windows code signing
|
||||
until a signing workflow has been approved, enabled, and verified for the
|
||||
specific release artifact.
|
||||
|
||||
macOS release packaging is handled separately through the Apple signing and
|
||||
notarization path configured by maintainers for macOS artifacts. This document's
|
||||
planned SignPath section applies to Windows code signing for open-source
|
||||
community release artifacts.
|
||||
|
||||
## User Verification
|
||||
|
||||
Users should download OpenSquilla release artifacts from the official GitHub
|
||||
Releases page and compare file hashes against the published `SHA256SUMS` file
|
||||
for the same release. A matching checksum verifies that the downloaded bytes
|
||||
match the bytes published by the project; it does not imply Windows Authenticode
|
||||
code signing while Windows builds remain unsigned.
|
||||
|
||||
## Future SignPath Foundation Plan
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSquilla is preparing to apply for free open-source Windows code signing
|
||||
through SignPath Foundation. This is not enabled yet.
|
||||
|
||||
If the project is approved and signing is enabled, the affected open-source
|
||||
community release artifacts may show `SignPath Foundation` as the Windows
|
||||
publisher. Because approval is still pending, the following attribution is a
|
||||
planned signing disclosure and does not claim that current Windows artifacts are
|
||||
signed:
|
||||
|
||||
Free code signing provided by SignPath.io, certificate by SignPath Foundation.
|
||||
|
||||
The SignPath Foundation path will apply only to OpenSquilla open-source
|
||||
community artifacts that are released under the project's OSI-approved license
|
||||
and that do not include proprietary or commercial-only components.
|
||||
|
||||
## Privacy Policy
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSquilla's privacy policy is published at [`PRIVACY.md`](../PRIVACY.md). It
|
||||
describes local data, provider requests, network observability, logs, release
|
||||
downloads, and deletion. Non-user-initiated network observability can be
|
||||
disabled before startup with:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
OPENSQUILLA_PRIVACY_DISABLE_NETWORK_OBSERVABILITY=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or with:
|
||||
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[privacy]
|
||||
disable_network_observability = true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Legacy compatibility environment variables remain honored:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
OPENSQUILLA_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true
|
||||
OPENSQUILLA_UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLED=true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Commercial Builds
|
||||
|
||||
This policy does not restrict future commercial editions, enterprise builds,
|
||||
hosted services, support offerings, or proprietary add-ons from using a
|
||||
separate commercial code-signing certificate or a separate commercial signing
|
||||
service. Commercial or proprietary release artifacts must not be signed with
|
||||
the SignPath Foundation certificate path unless they independently satisfy the
|
||||
foundation program requirements.
|
||||
|
||||
## Release Build Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Any future Windows signing workflow must run before updater metadata, blockmaps,
|
||||
and `SHA256SUMS` are finalized. Signing an `.exe` after `latest.yml`,
|
||||
`.blockmap`, or `SHA256SUMS` has been generated changes the installer bytes and
|
||||
invalidates those release metadata files.
|
||||
|
||||
Before enabling Windows signing, maintainers must verify:
|
||||
|
||||
- the signing provider and certificate are approved for the exact artifact type
|
||||
- the build runs from the trusted release workflow
|
||||
- release signing requires maintainer approval
|
||||
- team members with release or signing access use multi-factor authentication
|
||||
- if network observability or any other non-user-specified network transfer
|
||||
remains enabled by default, the installer displays the privacy policy and
|
||||
exposes the unified network observability disable switch before startup
|
||||
- signed artifacts, updater metadata, blockmaps, and checksums are generated
|
||||
from the same final bytes
|
||||
- release notes and download pages accurately describe the signing status
|
||||
|
||||
## Roles And Approval
|
||||
|
||||
Repository: <https://github.com/opensquilla/opensquilla>
|
||||
|
||||
Initial committers and reviewers:
|
||||
|
||||
- [@Open-Squilla](https://github.com/Open-Squilla)
|
||||
|
||||
Initial SignPath approvers:
|
||||
|
||||
- [@Open-Squilla](https://github.com/Open-Squilla)
|
||||
|
||||
OpenSquilla maintainers are responsible for release approval, release notes, and
|
||||
final publication. If SignPath signing is enabled later, SignPath approvers will
|
||||
approve signing requests only for the open-source community artifacts covered by
|
||||
this policy. Additional committers, reviewers, or SignPath approvers must be
|
||||
listed in this policy before they approve release signing requests. All
|
||||
committers, reviewers, and approvers must use multi-factor authentication for
|
||||
GitHub and SignPath access.
|
||||
|
||||
## Revocation Or Incident Response
|
||||
|
||||
If a signed artifact is found to be incorrect, compromised, or outside the
|
||||
approved signing scope, maintainers will stop distributing the affected asset,
|
||||
publish a corrected release or advisory, and request revocation through the
|
||||
signing provider when appropriate. Unsigned artifacts remain covered by the
|
||||
project's normal release correction and checksum replacement process.
