In-toto is a framework built to protect the integrity of software supply chains from the start of development through end-user installation. Its core idea is straightforward: make the process transparent by recording what steps were performed, who performed them, and in what order.
The project positions itself as an open, extensible standard for supply-chain metadata that organizations can implement in their own software delivery pipelines. Alongside the specification, in-toto offers Apache-licensed libraries and tools, making it usable today rather than just a theoretical model.
The site also points to a growing ecosystem around the project, including adoptions and integrations for teams evaluating how it fits into existing workflows.
