TUF-on-CI: A TUF Repository and Signing Tool
TUF-on-CI is a secure artifact delivery system that operates on a Continuous Integration platform. It contains a TUF repository implementation and an easy-to-use local signing system that supports hardware keys (e.g. Yubikeys).
TUF-on-CI can be used to publish a TUF repository that contains digitally signed metadata. Any TUF-compatible download client can use this repository to securely download the artifacts described in the repository.
This system is highly secure against infrastructure compromise: Even a fully compromised repository hosting will not lead to compromised downloader clients.
Supported features include:
- Guided signing events for distributed signing
- TUF delegations with signature thresholds
- Signing with hardware keys and Sigstore
- Automated online signing (Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, Sigstore)
- No custom code required
The optimal use case is TUF repositories with a low to moderate frequency of change, both for artifacts and keys.

Deployments
- The Sigstore project uses tuf-on-ci to manage their staging TUF repository in root-signing-staging. This repository is used to deliver the Sigstore root of trust to all sigstore clients. Production TUF repository is likely to follow later this year
- GitHub maintains a TUF repository for their Artifact Attestations with tuf-on-ci
- There is also a demo deployment for the TUF community
