+# Security actions
+
+## Action implemented
+
+- [Sign Docker Image](./sign-docker-image/action.yml) is a unified action for container image signing. The action leverages keyless signing to produce an Signature and uploads to Docker Image layer and Public Rekor for transaprency.
+
+- Tools used:
+    - [Cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign)
+### Signing Docker Image
+
+- For workflows where image artifact are being pushed to the registry, this needs to be implemented `after the scan and before the publish` step.
+
+#### Workflow / Job Permissions for Keyless OIDC Signing:
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  packages: write
+  id-token: write # needed for signing the images with GitHub OIDC Token
+```
+
+#### Signature Publishing
+- `cosign sign` to:
+  -  Generate an signature based on keyless identities using `Github` OIDC provider within workflows
+- Be authenicated access to publish docker hub registry
+- Uploads the [mapping identities](https://github.com/sigstore/fulcio/blob/main/docs/oid-info.md) to Public Rekor Instance logged forever.
+  - **May Contain senstitive information for private repositories**; Yet no way to protect PII being uploaded / masked.
+
+#### Verification
+- `cosign verify` needs to have:
+  - access to public rekor instance
+  - authenicated access to private docker hub registry
+  - un-authenticated access to public registry
+
+#### Input specification
+
+#### Parameters
+```yaml
+  local_save_cosign_assets:
+    description: 'Save cosign output assets locally on disk. Ex: certificate and signature of signed artifacts'
+    required: false
+    default: false
+  cosign-output-prefix:
+    description: 'cosign output prefix. Ex: certificate and signature of signed artifacts'
+    required: true
+  signature_registry:
+    description: 'Separate registry to store image signature to avoid polluting image registry'
+    required: false
+    default: ''
+  tags:
+    description: 'Comma separated <image>:<tag> that have same digest'
+    required: true
+  image_digest:
+    description: 'specify single sha256 digest associated with the specified image_registries'
+    required: true
+  registry_username:
+    description: 'docker username to login against private docker registry'
+    required: false
+  registry_password:
+    description: 'docker password to login against private docker registry'
+    required: false
+
+```
+#### Output specification
+
+- Generates a signature that is pushed to registry for every single platform and manifest digest
+
+- Generates a log entry in Public Rekor transaprency for every digest being signed with a unique docker repository
+
+- No Build Time artifacts are generated
+
+#### Verification:
+Use `cosign verify` command to specify claims and image digest to be verified against the rekor transaparency log and signature / certificate subject identity in the Docker registry
+
+Example:
+```
+COSIGN_REPOSITORY=kong/notary cosign verify -a repo="Kong/kong-ee" -a workflow="Package & Release" --certificate-oidc-issuer="https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com" --certificate-identity-regexp="https://github.com/Kong/kong-ee/.github/workflows/release.yml*" <image>:<tag>@sha256:<disgest> 
+```
+
+#### Usage Examples
+
+  ```yaml
+  jobs:
+  test-sign-docker-image:
+
+    permissions:
+      contents: read
+      packages: write # needed to upload to packages to registry
+      id-token: write # needed for signing the images with GitHub OIDC Token
+
+    if: ${{ github.event_name != 'pull_request' || github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository }}
