Installation To install sops, download one of the pre-built binaries provided for your platform from the artifacts attached to this release. For instance, if you are using Linux on an AMD64 architecture:

Download the binary

curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.12.2/sops-v3.12.2.linux.amd64

Move the binary in to your PATH

mv sops-v3.12.2.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops

Make the binary executable

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sops Verify checksums file signature The checksums file provided within the artifacts attached to this release is signed using Cosign with GitHub OIDC. To validate the signature of this file, run the following commands:

Download the checksums file, certificate and signature

curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.12.2/sops-v3.12.2.checksums.txt curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.12.2/sops-v3.12.2.checksums.pem curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.12.2/sops-v3.12.2.checksums.sig

Verify the checksums file

cosign verify-blob sops-v3.12.2.checksums.txt
--certificate sops-v3.12.2.checksums.pem
--signature sops-v3.12.2.checksums.sig
--certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/getsops
--certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com Verify binary integrity To verify the integrity of the downloaded binary, you can utilize the checksums file after having validated its signature:

Verify the binary using the checksums file

sha256sum -c sops-v3.12.2.checksums.txt --ignore-missing Verify artifact provenance The SLSA provenance of the binaries, packages, and SBOMs can be found within the artifacts associated with this release. It is presented through an in-toto link metadata file named sops-v3.12.2.intoto.jsonl. To verify the provenance of an artifact, you can utilize the slsa-verifier tool:

Download the metadata file

curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.12.2/sops-v3.12.2.intoto.jsonl

Verify the provenance of the artifact

slsa-verifier verify-artifact
--provenance-path sops-v3.12.2.intoto.jsonl
--source-uri github.com/getsops/sops
--source-tag v3.12.2 Container Images The sops binaries are also available as container images, based on Debian (slim) and Alpine Linux. The Debian-based container images include any dependencies which may be required to make use of certain key services, such as GnuPG, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud KMS. The Alpine-based container images are smaller in size, but do not include these dependencies. These container images are available for the following architectures: linux/amd64 and linux/arm64.
