Building Trust in Open Source: A Practical Guide To Securing Your Software Supply Chain - Yash Pimple, Chainguard

Wednesday June 18, 2025 09:50 - 10:10 JST

As open-source software adoption accelerates, so do the threats targeting its supply chain. But what does it really mean to secure your software supply chain? And how do concepts like SLSA (Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts), SBOM (Software Bill of Materials), and tools like Sigstore fit into the picture?

In this session, I’ll cut through the noise to demystify the fundamentals of software supply chain security. We’ll explore these frameworks and tools in depth, understand how they work together, and provide a clear practical guide to building stronger, more resilient pipelines. I’ll also highlight real-world supply chain threats from dependency confusion to insecure deployments and show how open-source tools can help you detect, prevent, and respond to these risks effectively.

True Security: Unforgeable Baseline Compliance - Adolfo García Veytia, Carabiner Systems & Carlos Tadeu Panato Junior, Chainguard

Wednesday June 18, 2025 10:50 - 11:10 JST

A year ago, with input from projects across different foundations, we set on a mission to delineate a minimum set of security requirements that could realistically be implemented by open source projects. No matter their size.

Thus, the Open Source Project Security Baseline was born.

With the Baseline maturing rapidly, it's time to check and enforce its requirements! For the Baseline to provide true security, cryptographically secure evidence has to be produced by projects that can, in turn, be tied to commits and built software artifacts.

Enter attestations!

By leveraging the In-Toto attestation framework and the Sigstore transparency log, this talk will show how to achieve unforgeable OSPS Baseline compliance through attested evidence that can securely be associated with repos, binaries, and container images.

It all sounds harder than it is. The talk will feature practical ways of achieving high compliance levels with only a handful of attestations from the OpenSSF family of tools, showing alternatives for each requirement.

The talk will conclude with an enforcement example, gating on build and deployment processes when repos and artifacts are not Baseline compliant.

Secrets in Public Git Repos: Why It Keeps Happening and How To Fix It - Arpit Jain, Independent Security Researcher

Wednesday June 18, 2025 12:10 - 12:15 JST

Every day, thousands of API keys, credentials, and tokens are accidentally leaked into public Git repositories, putting users and organizations at massive risk. In this lightning talk, I'll quickly break down why secret sprawl happens despite increasing awareness. I’ll highlight real-world cases like Trufflehog's recent discovery of over 12,000 live API keys inside DeepSeek's AI model training data, demonstrating how leaked secrets can silently persist and escalate risks. I'll demonstrate how simple open source tools like Gitleaks, Trufflehog, and Git pre-commit hooks can detect and prevent exposures. Attendees will leave with immediate, practical steps to stop secret leaks in their repositories — before attackers find them.

Current Remote Attestation on IoT --- Arm TrustZone OP-TEE With VERAISON Verifier - - Kuniyasu Suzaki, Institute of Information Security (IISEC), graduate school

Wednesday June 18, 2025 12:20 - 12:40 JST

Remote Attestation is a mechanism to confirm the genuine device and software. This mechanism is required for IoT devices because they are geographically distributed without an administrator, especially on the IoT devices which treat confidential data. To run a confidential application, CPU has a TEE (Trusted Execution Mechanism). The most popular IoT CPU, Arm Cortex-A also have TEE mechanism named TrustZone.

I report on the attestation mechanism implemented in OP-TEE, a trusted OS running on the Arm Cortex-A TrustZone. This mechanism generates attestation evidence accepted by VERAISON, an open-source verification platform.

I report the provisioning process for both the attester and verifier in this model, emphasizing the need for secure setup. Additionally, we explain how to program a confidential application to leverage this remote attestation mechanism. These explanations aim to enable broader adoption of remote attestation by users.

The current source code is open and runs on QEMU and Raspberry Pi 3:

What Is This Package Even Doing? Analyzing Behaviors of Our Software Dependencies - Isaac Dawson, GitLab Inc

Wednesday June 18, 2025 12:45 - 13:05 JST

As developers, we include or update dependencies on almost every project we touch. Even with a general idea of their capabilities, it can be hard to know exactly what these packages are doing. Despite this, we include them and hope it doesn't break our build, or worse, introduce vulnerabilities.
This talk will present data analysis of capabilities of two types of software packages: Those with known CVE records, and those without, to see if we can identify any signal regarding the packages security posture. This talk will also highlight the risk associated with the various capabilities these software dependencies include, and how we can make better decisions when it comes time to upgrade or add new dependencies to our software stacks. To enable this analysis, GitLab has extracted thousands of packages from various package managers. These package versions are then stored on GitLab.com where users can navigate the exact source code of every version of a software package released.
By the end of this presentation the audience should leave with a better understanding of what to look for when adding new dependencies and how the capabilities of those dependencies may introduce risks.

The Hidden Adversaries: An Open-Source Blueprint for AI and Deep Learning Model Protection - Anmol Krishan Sachdeva & Paras Mamgain, Google

Wednesday June 18, 2025 14:20 - 14:40 JST

Deep Learning and AI models are rapidly becoming integral to critical applications, yet they harbor a significant, often underestimated, vulnerability: adversarial attacks. These intentionally crafted manipulations to input data can deceive even state-of-the-art models, leading to incorrect predictions, compromised system behavior, safety failures, and a significant erosion of trust. The challenge lies in the stealthy nature of these attacks, their continuous evolution, and the difficulty in building defenses that are both robust and adaptable without hampering model performance. How can we shield our AI investments from such threats?

As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated into 2025, so too do the adversarial threats they face. This session offers a forward-looking blueprint to proactively harden your models and implement next-gen. threat detection. We will focus on practical open-source approaches for building intrinsic robustness and deploying intelligent defenses against emerging adversarial tactics, including those targeting GenAI. Learn how cutting-edge open-source tools can be leveraged to create reliable, secure, and scalable AI defenses for tomorrow's challenges.

Securing Open Source Code: From AI Vulnerabilities To Supply Chain Defense - Arpit Jain, Independent Security Researcher

Wednesday June 18, 2025 14:45 - 15:00 JST

Open source security faces growing risks from dependency vulnerabilities, leaked secrets, insecure AI-generated code, and supply chain attacks. In this talk, I will demonstrate how to use open source tools like Trivy, Grype, Gitleaks, and Trufflehog to scan dependencies and detect exposed secrets.

I will explain how to build and maintain a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to protect codebases and organizational assets. Using real-world case studies—Trufflehog’s discovery of 12,000+ live API keys in AI training data, the Rabbit R1 credential exposure, and supply chain incidents in the US and Japan—I will show the impact of poor code security practices.

Live demo will highlight how AI models trained on insecure code can propagate vulnerabilities. Attendees will leave with practical techniques for scanning codebases, securing their development pipelines, and preventing the next generation of supply chain threats.

Beyond Network Trust: End-to-End Secure Service Communication With Open Source IAM - Anmol Krishan Sachdeva & Devashish Patil, Google

Wednesday June 18, 2025 15:45 - 16:05 JST

In today's dynamic cloud-native environments, relying on network perimeters for security is obsolete. True Zero Trust demands strong authentication and fine-grained authorization for every interaction, especially between microservices. This session explores how to achieve this end-to-end security using complementary open-source projects.

First, we address the challenge of reliably identifying who is making a request. We'll delve into establishing cryptographic, verifiable workload identities using open-source frameworks like SPIFFE/SPIRE. Learn how services can automatically obtain short-lived, platform-agnostic identities (SVIDs), eliminating the need for managing secrets like API keys or passwords for service-to-service authentication.

With a trusted identity established, we then tackle what that service is allowed to do. We'll demonstrate how to leverage these workload identities within open-source authorization engines like Open Policy Agent (OPA). See how to define and enforce granular, context-aware access control policies based on the verified identity of the calling service, rather than just its network location.
