The presentation discusses the importance of generating software bill of materials (S-BOM) and the challenges in ensuring its security against malicious actors. The speakers suggest using metadata and attestation formats to address these challenges.
  • Generating S-BOM is important for software security and transparency
  • Scanning and pre-populating are two ways to generate S-BOM
  • Scanning has limitations in detecting malicious actors
  • Metadata and attestation formats can address security challenges
  • Composability is important in combining S-BOM from different ecosystems
