| Fact | Cosign | SignPath Foundation |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Cosign signs and verifies OCI containers and other software artifacts. | SignPath Foundation provides code-signing certificates to open-source projects to link published binaries to their repositories. |
Cosign suits open-source package managers and teams that need to sign or verify artifacts in registry and CI/CD workflows. It is less suited to developers seeking a stable API for direct application integration.
SignPath Foundation is for actively maintained, already released open-source projects that meet its eligibility and security requirements. It suits teams able to enforce multi-factor authentication and manually approve each release.
