Logging _sigsums_ and not a more concrete type like +_certificates_ keep the overall design simple and generally useful. + +✔ Minimalistic design that simplifies log operations and usage\ +✔ Centralised log operations but distributed trust assumptions\ +✔ Discoverability of statements for data of your choice + +A minimal statement encodes the following claim: the data has cryptographic hash +X. You can add additional meaning to each statement. For example, you may use +a sigsum log to claim that + _everyone gets the same news articles_, + _software package X builds reproducibly_, or + _a list of key-value pairs is maintained with policy Y_. + +Sigsum logging makes it reasonable to believe your claims by adding enough +discoverability to verify them. + +## Join the conversation +- IRC: \#sigsum @ oftc.net +- Matrix: [#sigsum:matrix.org](https://app.element.io/#/room/#sigsum:matrix.org) + +## Useful links +- Go implementation of a sigsum log: [sigsum-log-go](https://github.com/sigsum/sigsum-log-go) +- Python implementation of a sigsum witness: [sigsum-witness-py](https://github.com/sigsum/sigsum-witness-py) +- Design and API specifications: [documentation](https://github.com/sigsum/sigsum/tree/main/doc) +- Meeting minutes and persisted notes: [archive](https://github.com/sigsum/sigsum/tree/main/archive) +- Website + - https://www.sigsum.org + - https://er3n3jnvoyj2t37yngvzr35b6f4ch5mgzl3i6qlkvyhzmaxo62nlqmqd.onion |
