### Agenda Items

- Notation v1.2.0 release (Yi)
- ETA: rc.1 on Aug 7 and stable on Aug 16
- Align Notation v1.2.0 release method
- repo `notation`, `notation-go` and `notation-core-go`
1. Cut a release branch from main
1. Remove code for blob signing
- repo `specification` v1.1.0
- option 1: cut release from main
- option 2: cut a release branch from main and remove spec for blob signing
- Notation v1.3.0 scope and timeline (Yi)
- ETA: Sep 16, 2024
- To meet the security audit starting from Sep 16, 2024
- Feature: Timestamping
- Feature: Revocation checking with CRL
- Triage issues (Yi)

### Notes

- We aligned the release method during the meeting, that is, for `notation`,`notation-go`, `notationc-core-go` and `specifications`, we will keep the blob signing work in main, cut a release branch from main and remove blob signing work from release branch. In other words, blob signing will not be released in Notation v1.2.0 and specification v1.1.0.
- We aligned on the v1.3.0 scope and timeline. The CRL feature is the mandatory feature for v1.3.0. v1.3.0 will be used for security audit.
- We aligned that v2.0.0 can be started in parallel. The major version is stepped, since the feature `notation sign` using referrers API by default is a breaking change. This feature will be prioritized for v2.0.0, and we can plan v2.0.0-alpha.1 release for customers to try it early.
- We triaged issues in the v1.2.0 milestones of `notation-core-go` and `notation-go` repo. Addtionally, we triaged issues in the v1.1.0 milestone of `specifications` repo.

### Agenda Items
- Celebrate two releases (Feynman):
- [notation-action v1.1.0](https://github.com/notaryproject/notation-action/releases/tag/v1.1.0) with sign & verify multiple artifacts support and ability to use `notation plugin install`
- [tspclient-go v0.1.0](https://github.com/notaryproject/tspclient-go/releases/tag/v0.1.0): the first release of the core library of Notation's timestamping
- Proposal: Release v1.2.0 early for OCI 1.1 support, and v1.3.0 for timestamp (Pritesh)
- Notation v1.2.0-beta.1 release status check-in (Yi)
- Review [flag names](https://github.com/notaryproject/notation/pull/978) for timestamping used by Notation CLI (Yi/Patrick)

### Notes

- Proposal: Release v1.2.0 early for OCI 1.1 support, and v1.3.0 for timestamp
- We aligned in the meeting that we will stick to current plan that is the release v1.2.0-beta.1 by this Jul 19, and give two weeks for testing and bug fixes, and then release v1.2.0-rc.1 release in the first week of Aug, and give one week for critical issues, and release v1.2.0 stable release in the 2nd week of Aug
- Security Audit will not block the v1.2.0 release. It is scheduled in Mid Sep and will be conducted on Notation v1.3.0 with revocation checking with CRL check supported
- The isssue https://github.com/notaryproject/notation/issues/975 will not block Notation v1.2.0 release. The current signature manifest complies to the OCI spec v1.1.0. We need to test to see whether majority of registries support `artifactType`, and we need to update the specification accordingly. These need to be discussed further
- Review [flag names](https://github.com/notaryproject/notation/pull/978) for timestamping used by Notation CLI (Yi/Patrick)
- Some comments received on the flag `--tsa-root-certificate` for intermediate certs scenarios, Patrick will add the testing results of certificate chains in the reponse of TSA, and we finalize it by Wednesday.

### Agenda Items

- Timestamping feature (Yi)
- Proposal of releasing tspclient-go 0.1.0 release after the following PRs merged
- https://github.com/notaryproject/tspclient-go/pull/25
- https://github.com/notaryproject/tspclient-go/pull/26
- Align on [specification issue](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/303#issuecomment-2205098156)
- Notation v1.2.0 scope changes (Pritesh/Yi)
- Vote for proposal https://github.com/notaryproject/.github/issues/76 (Yi)
- Follow-up from last meeting: any interest from AWS on [Project opportunities at KubeCon NA](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/program/project-opportunities/#about-project-participation)

### Notes

- **Patrick** will kick-off the release of tspclient-go 0.1.0
- We had a discussion about [issue](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/303#issuecomment-2205098156), and the conclusion is to address the issue when there is a valid customer ask in the future. So this issue will be removed from Notary Project specification v1.1.0 release and set to `Future` milestone. Related PRs will be re-opened in the future. **Yi** will document timestamping use cases and mark
- Due to lack of resources on AWS side, Blob signing implementation will be paused for a while. It will be removed from Notation v1.2.0 and v1.3.0 release, and not be included in the scope of security audit in Sep. Related PRs will be reverted from main branch. We may consider a feature branch for blob signing.
- **Pritesh** will get back to the KubeCon NA opportunity.

- Peter Goodall from Docker and Toddy are working on plan for Docker Content Trust (DCT) and target July 1st 2024 for completing the plan. Will update the community at that time.
- KubeCon NA 2024
- By then we should have a good idea about the DCT deprecation - we should plan for that
- Also plan for the announcements of new features and plans for upcoming work
- Security audit meeting
- Do we need to go all three features to have the audit before June 24th? Most probably we won't have timestamp and blob signing and we can add the CRL feature after that. Is there any cost effectiveness.

### Agenda Items:

- Conclude the [poll](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/301) (Pritesh/Yi)
- Vote results
- Discuss [the toggle to switch between option 1 and option 2](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/301#issuecomment-2115536377)
- [Proposal for Notation patch release](https://github.com/notaryproject/notation/issues/947) (Yi)

### Notes

- Summary of the [vote](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/301)
- Option2 is the default behavior
- **Milind** proposed using the follwing new parameter in trust policy for users to switch between option1 and option2. Participants in the meeting agreed on this proposal.

      "signatureVerification": {
        "level" : "strict",
        “verifyTimestamp” : “afterCertExpiry” | “always”
      }

The default value of`verifyTimestamp` is `always` (option 2 in the vote). if users do not specify this parameter, the signature verification has the same behavior as `verifyTimestamp` set to `always`
- **Pritesh** summarized 4 cases:
- case1: TrustPolicy contains TSA trust-store and Signature contains timestamp
- By default, always verify timestamp irrespective of signing cert is expired or not. If timestamp verification fails, fail signature verification. if users set `verifyTimestamp` to `afterCertExpiry`, the timestamp will be verified if signing certificate expires.
- case2: TrustPolicy contains TSA trust-store and Signature doesn't contain timestamp
- TBD, need to follow up on the behavior of this case.
- case3: TrustPolicy doesn't contains TSA trust-store and Signature contains timestamp
- Don't verify timestamp. fail signaure verification if signing certificates expire
- case4: TrustPolicy doesn't contains TSA trust-store and Signature doesn't contain timestamp
- Don't verify timestamp
- Patch release
- We did not have much time to discuss it. **Yi** will follow up with **Vani** and **Pritesh** offline.

- **Yi** shared the plan to release Notation v1.1.1 patch release and Notation v1.2.0-beta release by end of May 2024. **Yi** also mentioned we should speed up PR reviews for v1.2.0 features and with beta release first, we can make progress in an iterative way. The meeting participants agreed on this proposal. **Pritesh** will start resolve comments of his own PR and review tspclient-go PRs.

- Akash Singhal (Microsoft)

### Agenda Items:
- Open discussion

### Meeting Notes:
- Vani will work with Yi on the 1.2.0 release
- James mentioned that it is on their agenda to support TUF metadata in the OCI
- Idea: For Notary Project to distribute policies using TUF
- Have trusted roots for each of the vendors
- James' Document for TUF https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PoZpb8R-kK26MsEGWbSMofCBjbVTUcgTS2eahaqBME4/edit
James would like to make more progress on this document. There are still the open questions at what level the snapshot is taken.
- James and Toddy discussed Toddy's lineage document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2BLEy9pGPciKNkkss0fAyQQGe6DcYiMrhcRrYOpSjY/edit?usp=sharing) and both agreed that for the purpose of Toddy's scenario there is no need to store the histrory in an OCI artifact (James proposed in-toto attestations that capture the tags at build time). For TUF metadata purpose, there is no need to store the whole stream history but only the latest snapshot. Decision is to not continue work on Toddy's document.

### Attendees:

- Shiwei Zhang (Microsoft)
- Patrick Zheng (Microsoft)
- Junjie Gao (Microsoft)
- Pritesh Bandi (Amazon)
- Sajay Antony (Microsoft)
- Yi Zha (Microsoft)

### Agenda Items:

- Continue the discussion of trust policy 2.0 (Patrick)
- Add new parameters for Timestamping, see [PR 290](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/pull/290/files?short_path=d4d91f8#diff-d4d91f8c71de756a442dba4d5107df61a94955a82a0f1cce75657953fceee12d)
- [A new issue](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/300) was identified.
- Allow the "keyUsage" extension for the TSA root CA certificate without marking it as critical, for compatibility with some existing CAs that are well established in the ecosystem.
- Notation v1.2.0 release status check-in (Yi)
- Signing arbitrary blob
- Timestamping support

### Notes

- Before **Pritesh** joined, we discussed the release of Notation v1.2.0 and **Yi** suggested a possible patch release as a backup plan in case of delays. We did not reach any conclusion in the meeting.
- Continue the discussion of trust policy 2.0
- **Patrick**, **Pritesh**, **Shiwei** and **Yi** are aligned that the timestamping check depends on whether users set up a trust store of the tsa type or not. If they do, the check is on; if they don't, the check is off. We may add a new option to control this behavior later if users ask for it.
- **Shiwei** mentioned a way to make a copy of trust policy file for easily toggling tsa stores especially when users configured many tsa stores.
- **Pritesh** suggest keeping using trust policy 1.0 for timestamping support, and consisering introducing different trust store types for trusted identities if there are real use cases in the future.
- **Pritesh** will work with Milind on the following items and will update the community soon
- The behavior of verification level audit and skip for Authentic timestamp
- Whether the trusted identities specified in trustedIdentities are applied to all the trust stores specified in truststores

- TUF Metadata/tag stream discussion (ToddySM)
- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2BLEy9pGPciKNkkss0fAyQQGe6DcYiMrhcRrYOpSjY/edit?usp=sharing
- Tag signing discussion (ToddySM)
- Attestations dicussion (ToddySM)

### Notes:
- Tom went over the following:
- Witness has the concept of attesters (collectors of metadata)
- There are different types of attesters (trying to expand the number of attesters)
- Struggle of different ways to unwrap and inspect the predicates; there are differences in the use of envelope types
- DSSE is one example way to create envelop (wrap the predicate and attach signature to it); Notary Project supports COSE and JWS
- The problem is that verifiers fail if they don't support the envelopes (less of a problem on the signing) but the verifier needs to understand all the envelopes
- Feedback on COSE
- Struggle is the understanding of encrypted (protected) and unencrypted (unprotected) headers. He wasn't sure whether he was using the library correctly to add the necessary headers.
- What is exactly Sign1Message (need very deep knowledge of the COSE spec)?
- He also demoed his prototype where he wraps the attestations in a COSE envelope
- The appeal from his is to have a common way to sign and verify signatures in different formats (and use dsse image-signer-verifier interface)
- (Akash) sees that approach also helpful for Ratify
- Useful links
-
- https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/go-securesystemslib/ (eventually implement all those capabilities in that library)

- Pritesh Bandi (Amazon)
- Sajay Antony (Microsoft)
- Toddy Mladenov (Microsoft)
- Yi Zha (Microsoft)

### Agenda Items:

- Proposal of trust policy 2.0 (Yi)
- Add new parameters for Timestamping, see [PR 290](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/pull/290/files?short_path=d4d91f8#diff-d4d91f8c71de756a442dba4d5107df61a94955a82a0f1cce75657953fceee12d)
- [A new issue](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/issues/300) was identified.
- Certificate requirement (Yi)
- Allow the "keyUsage" extension for the TSA root CA certificate without marking it as critical, for compatibility with some existing CAs that are well established in the ecosystem.
- Request org maintainers to review [Contributor ladder PR](https://github.com/notaryproject/.github/pull/75) (Yi)
- Triage issues if time allows. (Yi)

### Notes:

- If the signing certificate expires, then Authentic timestamp level will be checked, if it is skipped, need to confirm the current implementation, and we would like to fail signature verification in this case, but need further clarifiation with Milind as he originally designed this.
- If we will introduce `timestampVerfication` parameter, @priteshbandi suggested in the community meeting that not configuring any tsa trust store if and only if level to be skip so that we don’t need to introduce the field level.
- @pritesh Not having any trust store of type tsa implicitly means verifier doesn’t trust any tsa thus Notation should not evaluate any timestamp signature
- @pritesh a list of free tsa: https://gist.github.com/Manouchehri/fd754e402d98430243455713efada710
- @pritesh CA/B forum notes about expiry of timstamping cert validity
https://cabforum.org/2022/01/27/2022-01-27-minutes-of-the-code-signing-certificate-working-group/#timestamping-certificate-validity-period, expected Ian's comment. The current practice is TSA cert expiry is not validated.
- @pritesh if `expiryRelaxed` is true by default, then maybe we can drop this parameter. Pritesh's opinion that the default value can be true.
- We only covered the first bullet of the first topic today, and will continue the discuss next week.

- Tag signing discussion (ToddySM)
- Attestations dicussion (ToddySM)

### Notes:
- (David) Attestations thoughts
- Attestations added at creation
The way buildkit does it is preferrable from Docker perspective. Easy signal when the owner and maintainer is clear. Should be able to pull the attestation and figure out what is changed in the tag. Should be in the image index. Generally looking at in-toto. They are layers in the image and that image appears as image index object. It refers to the platform specific image those attestations attest. Example: https://explore.ggcr.dev/?image=rabbitmq%3Alatest
- Attestations added after creation.
For this one the referrers is more viable as solution. This introduces additional burden for the consumer.

### Notes:
- Regarding [the comments for Time-stamping spec](https://github.com/notaryproject/specifications/pull/290#discussion_r1527698163), the meeting participants were aligned that timestamp countersignature will not be checked if the signing scheme is `x509.signingAuthority`. **Pritesh** pinged **Milind** for any comments.
- Triaged new issues
- https://github.com/notaryproject/notation/issues/910 ==> waiting for user's feedback
- https://github.com/notaryproject/notation/issues/909 ==> won't fix, as it is a base requirment per [7.1.2.1 Root CA Certificate](https://cabforum.org/uploads/Baseline-Requirements-for-the-Issuance-and-Management-of-Code-Signing.v3.7.pdf), and if key usage is not marked as critical, client can ignore key usage field, which means the root CA certificate can be used for different purposes beside codesigning. The use of the same key for two different cryptographic processes may weaken the security provided by one or both of the processes.
- Triaged 1.2.0 milestone
- Issues related to "Trust policy and store management" will be moved to 1.3.0 milestone
