<h2 id="what">What are attestations?</h2>
<p>
Attestations are like PGP signatures, except designed to be verifiable by
the index too! They're built on top of <a href="https://sigstore.dev">Sigstore</a>
Attestations are digitally signed, publicly verifiable statements about Python
packages, including their <em>provenance</em> (e.g., the exact source repository
that produced them).

<p>
Attestations are built on top of <a href="https://sigstore.dev">Sigstore</a>
and use short-lived signing keys bound to trusted identities
(like <a href="https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/">Trusted Publishers</a>),
making them misuse-resistant and less susceptible to key loss and theft.
