Use notation inspect
command to inspect all the signatures associated with artifacts stored in OCI compliant registries in a human readable format.
Upon successful execution, both the digest of the signed artifact and the digests of signatures manifest along with their properties associated with the signed artifact are printed in the following format:
<registry>/<repository>@<digest>
└── application/vnd.cncf.notary.signature
├── <digest of signature manifest>
│ ├── <signature algorithm>
│ ├── <signed attributes>
│ ├── <user defined attributes>
│ ├── <unsigned attributes>
│ ├── <certificates>
│ └── <signed artifact>
└── <digest of signature manifest>
├── <signature algorithm>
├── <signed attributes>
├── <unsigned attributes>
├── <certificates>
└── <signed artifact>
Inspect all signatures associated with the signed artifact.
Usage:
notation inspect [flags] <reference>
Flags:
-d, --debug debug mode
-h, --help help for inspect
--insecure-registry use HTTP protocol while connecting to registries. Should be used only for testing
--max-signatures int maximum number of signatures to evaluate or examine (default 100)
-o, --output string output format, options: 'json', 'text' (default "text")
-p, --password string password for registry operations (default to $NOTATION_PASSWORD if not specified)
-u, --username string username for registry operations (default to $NOTATION_USERNAME if not specified)
-v, --verbose verbose mode
Display the details of all the listed signatures and its associated certificate properties of the signed container image
notation inspect [flags] <registry>/<repository>@<digest>

Tags
are mutable, but Digests
uniquely and immutably identify an artifact. If a tag is used to identify a signed artifact, notation resolves the tag to the digest
first.
# Prerequisites: Signatures are stored in a registry referencing the signed OCI artifact
notation inspect localhost:5000/net-monitor:v1
An example output:
Resolved artifact tag `v1` to digest `sha256:b94d27b9934d3e08a52e52d7da7dabfac484efe37a5380ee9088f7ace2efcde9` before inspect.
Warning: The resolved digest may not point to the same signed artifact, since tags are mutable.
