+# Verifying FerrFlow releases
+
+Every release tarball, the Docker image, and the SBOM that ships
+alongside them are signed via [Sigstore](https://www.sigstore.dev/)
+keyless signing. No public keys to track — the signing identity is the
+GitHub Actions workload identity, anchored in the Rekor transparency
+log.
+
+## What ships per release
+
+| Artifact | Sidecars |
+|---|---|
+| `ferrflow-linux-x64.tar.gz` | `.sig`, `.crt` |
+| `ferrflow-linux-arm64.tar.gz` | `.sig`, `.crt` |
+| `ferrflow-darwin-x64.tar.gz` | `.sig`, `.crt` |
+| `ferrflow-darwin-arm64.tar.gz` | `.sig`, `.crt` |
+| `ferrflow-windows-x64.zip` | `.sig`, `.crt` |
+| `sbom.cdx.json` | `.sig`, `.crt` |
+| `ghcr.io/ferrlabs/ferrflow:vX.Y.Z` | Cosign signature recorded in
+GHCR + Rekor |
+
+All sidecars are downloadable from the GitHub Release page next to the
+binary.
+
+## Verifying a tarball
+
+```bash
+# install cosign (one-time)
+curl -L https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/releases/latest/download/cosign-linux-amd64 \
+  -o /usr/local/bin/cosign && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cosign
+
+# download the artifact + sidecars from the release page
+TAG=v5.0.1
+gh release download "$TAG" --repo FerrLabs/FerrFlow \
+  -p 'ferrflow-linux-x64.tar.gz*'
+
+# verify
+cosign verify-blob \
+  --certificate ferrflow-linux-x64.tar.gz.crt \
+  --signature   ferrflow-linux-x64.tar.gz.sig \
+  --certificate-identity-regexp "https://github.com/FerrLabs/FerrFlow/.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
+  ferrflow-linux-x64.tar.gz
+# → Verified OK
+```
+
+A passing verification means:
+
+- The tarball bytes haven't been tampered with since the release
+  workflow signed them.
+- The signing identity was a workflow running in `FerrLabs/FerrFlow`
+  triggered by GitHub Actions' OIDC issuer.
+- The signature is recorded in the public Rekor log (
+  https://search.sigstore.dev/ — search for the `.sig` value).
+
+## Verifying the Docker image
+
+```bash
+cosign verify ghcr.io/ferrlabs/ferrflow:v5.0.1 \
+  --certificate-identity-regexp "https://github.com/FerrLabs/FerrFlow/.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
+```
+
+## Verifying the SBOM
+
+The SBOM (`sbom.cdx.json`) is a [CycloneDX](https://cyclonedx.org/)
+document listing every transitive dependency of the published binary.
+It's signed the same way as the tarballs:
+
+```bash
+cosign verify-blob \
+  --certificate sbom.cdx.json.crt \
+  --signature   sbom.cdx.json.sig \
+  --certificate-identity-regexp "https://github.com/FerrLabs/FerrFlow/.*" \
+  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
+  sbom.cdx.json
+```
+
+Feed the verified SBOM into your scanner of choice (Grype, Trivy,
+Snyk, JFrog Xray, Anchore — all CycloneDX-aware).
+
+## Why this matters
+
+- **Supply chain attacks**: an attacker who compromises a CDN, a
+  mirror, or a malicious typosquat package can't forge the signature
+  because the signing identity is anchored to the GitHub Actions OIDC
+  flow.
+- **Compliance**: SOC2/ISO27001 customers can attest that the binary
+  they pulled is what their auditor approved.
+- **No key management**: nobody at FerrLabs has a private signing key
+  to lose or rotate. The workflow proves its identity at the moment of
+  signing.
+
+## What's NOT signed
+
+- Source tarballs from `git archive` — these come from GitHub, not from
+  the release workflow. If you need an attestation for source, use
+  `gh attestation verify` on the build provenance.
+
+## Provenance (SLSA)
+
+In addition to Sigstore signatures, every release also ships a
+[SLSA build provenance attestation](https://slsa.dev/) via
+`actions/attest-build-provenance`. Verify with:
+
+```bash
+gh attestation verify ferrflow-linux-x64.tar.gz --repo FerrLabs/FerrFlow
+```
+
+Tracks the workflow run, the source commit SHA, and the build inputs.
