A Framework for Securing Software Update Systems
⚠️ This project is not ready for general-purpose use! ⚠️
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 written in Typescript. It is intended to conform to
version 1.0 of the TUF
specification.
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!
