A Framework for a Secure Open-Source Software Supply Chain
It outlines automated SBOM generation and real-time dependency checks to improve security and transparency in open-source software.
Abstract: A Framework for a Secure Open-Source Software Supply Chain (published in Open Finance Newsletter, August 19, 2025) examines systemic risks in modern software ecosystems driven by deeply nested open-source dependencies. The article proposes a practical two-part approach: automated generation of comprehensive Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) during build processes, and real-time verification mechanisms that allow applications to check the security status of their dependencies. The goal is continuous visibility, faster vulnerability response, and stronger trust across the open-source supply chain.
