Modernize signing for defense software delivered into disconnected enclaves
How will an offline enclave verify the release, signer authority, dependency evidence, and revocation state?
Operational pain
Air-gapped delivery removes online validation while long-lived trust stores and removable media amplify the consequences of a compromised build signer.
Trigger
Software-factory accreditation, signing-key rotation, or adoption of post-quantum release signatures.
QNSI contribution
Connect the decision to a controlled security path
Bind QNSI-supported signature evidence to release manifests, build provenance, signer generation, and offline trust bundles.
Decision artifact
An enclave-verifiable release packet containing artifact digests, signer chain, SBOM reference, revocation snapshot, and expiry.
What still requires validation
The programme validates build isolation, media handling, approved algorithms, key ceremony, offline verification, and rollback.
External problem context
Primary sources
These sources establish the external requirement or risk context. They do not endorse HEOSSI or prove that QNSI completed this scenario.
Evidence boundary
What this page does—and does not—prove
This is a product evaluation pattern, not a customer case study, certification, legal opinion, regulator endorsement, or claim that a production deployment completed the described work.
