I believe this would be solved with sigstore/sigstore#860 . Shall I add a reference to this issue in the code (and back-ref)?

Would you be interested in taking a look at the failing test in sigstore/sigstore#1426? I think it's just a failure due to a mock not having an expectation met. We could get that merged in then to use here.

Isn't sigstore/sigstore#1426 just about the KMS SignerVerifier? I think we'd need that HashFunc feature at the sigstore.SignerVerifier level.

@haydentherapper good call on the rekord vs hashedrekord issue! Currently there are problems indeed and with this change we can't verify rekord types with ed25519 keys The reason is that ed25519ph is assumed in all sign-blob/verify-blob paths. I'm going to try and fix it. |
I'm not 100% confident here, but at least in the bundle case you should be able to decode |

Trial verification is nasty, but I think it's sound in this case (the classic examples of it being unsound are symmetric/asymmetric confusion, like in JWTs). So I'm not a huge fan of it, but it's probably an acceptable tradeoff vs. a backwards-incompatible change. CCing @haydentherapper for thoughts as well. |

I'm good with this approach to attempt verification twice. The other option would be plumbing through which rekor type is being verified, and only use the -ph variant for hashedrekord. I suspect that's gonna be messy though. |

Will take a closer look Monday, but overall LGTM |

This is also blocked by Fulcio support, correct? Either we'll need to be OK with Fulcio certifying ed25519ph keys as ed25519 (my preference), or fork x509.go edit: sorry, ignore part of this: fulcio is not a blocker assuming we are good with fulcio certifying ed25519ph keys as ed25519 |
The only real problem for Fulcio is the hash function at this point. See https://github.com/sigstore/fulcio/pull/1517/files#diff-648d47fb9eeb444c1a09095dd41e4012ee5aafcb37b712f7f3bf492d8410017dR149 . Cosign(and various clients) should be changed to use Pure Ed25519 when Ed25519ph (or other Ed25519 variants) is used and it interacts with Fulcio. |

Maybe for a later PR to keep this smaller in scope - Should this be based on curve too? This would be a change from current behavior, since I believe we're using sha256 regardless of curve. This might be an unexpected change for custom verifiers though who likely have always assumed sha256.

Yes I agree, there should be more flexibility here.

Do we need the trial verification you mentioned in the comment, verifying both as ed25519 and ed25519ph?

At this stage, yes, I think that's needed.
However, once we add support for --signing-algorithm flag, the user can specific the algorithm he wants and we can add or not this option.

I realize now that you might be saying there is no trial verification in the PR, but this is already implemented in https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/pull/3479/files#diff-8a85c8e688d61e16b8af8e09832ed2bef89c1163b0e9601a8363c782c387c006R272-R298 .

To confirm, this would mean that self-managed ed25519 keys would now generate signatures with the pre-hashed variant, correct? This would mean that a verifier using an older Cosign version could not verify a signature from the latest Cosign version. Could we set this only when tlogupload (or the equivalent config) is true? This preserves the same signing behavior then for self-managed keys with sigs not being uploaded to Rekor.

I believe this is missing the trial verification and the last comment about limiting when the key is the prehash variant? |

ED25519-ph is not widely supported and it is not an accepted option in x509 Certificates/CSR, so Fulcio does not accept them. Instead, clients are supposed to use PureED25519 when interacting with Fulcio. This commit provides to the Fulcio code a separate SignerVerifier created from the one loaded from the private key. This SignerVerifier is usually of the same type, except when dealing with ED25519ph. Signed-off-by: Riccardo Schirone <[email protected]>

Summary
Integrate sigstore/sigstore#1595 into cosign, allowing sign-blob/verify-blob commmands to use ED25519ph as necessary.
This needs both sigstore/rekor#1959 and sigstore/rekor#1945
