DSSE Envelope Wrapping a Provenance Statement
A DSSE envelope whose base64 payload decodes to the SLSA v1 statement in this family: the wrapper attestation tooling actually transports. Signatures, key ids and certificates here are SAMPLE placeholders: the base64 decodes to the words 'SAMPLE SIGNATURE', so verification must fail. Nothing here is cryptographically valid and no key material is real.

Testing contract
Expected to pass- Scenario
- Decode a DSSE payload and verify it against the enclosed statement.
- Expected result
- Base64 decoding yields byte-identical JSON to the unsigned statement file, and signature verification fails because the sig is a SAMPLE placeholder.
What is a .json file?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.
How to use this file
Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.
How to use this file for testing
“DSSE Envelope Wrapping a Provenance Statement” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for JSON parsing, JWT / JWKS testing, Schema validation. Flat, deeply nested, JSON Lines, and intentionally invalid JSON for testing parsers and error handling.
Documented properties for this file: seed 51200 · LF · DSSE. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
SBOM, lockfile, provenance, and advisory fixtures describe the same fabricated component tree across formats, so a converter or scanner can be diffed against a known answer. Every package name, version, hash, and advisory ID is invented, never treat a finding here as real.
Feed the file to your parser and assert it handles the documented quirks, quoted delimiters, embedded newlines, ragged rows, or invalid syntax; the valid↔invalid distinction is labelled in the title.

- jsonRekor Transparency-Log EntryA transparency-log entry keyed by its own UUID at the top level (a shape that breaks parsers expecting a fixed root key) with a base64 body that decodes to a dsse record. Signatures, key ids and certificates here are SAMPLE placeholders: the base64 decodes to the words 'SAMPLE SIGNATURE', so verification must fail. Nothing here is cryptographically valid and no key material is real.

- jsonSBOM Attestation Envelope (cosign Shape)An attestation that binds an SBOM to an artifact digest rather than shipping the SBOM loose: the pattern keyless signing produces, complete with the empty keyid that identity-based signing leaves behind. Signatures, key ids and certificates here are SAMPLE placeholders: the base64 decodes to the words 'SAMPLE SIGNATURE', so verification must fail. Nothing here is cryptographically valid and no key material is real.

- jsonSigstore Bundle (v0.3 Shape)A Sigstore bundle in the shape verifiers read: a SAMPLE certificate, a transparency-log entry with an inclusion proof and checkpoint, and the DSSE envelope carrying the provenance. Signatures, key ids and certificates here are SAMPLE placeholders: the base64 decodes to the words 'SAMPLE SIGNATURE', so verification must fail. Nothing here is cryptographically valid and no key material is real.

- jsoncargo-audit Report (JSON)A cargo-audit report that shows three findings while a fourth is on the ignore list, plus an unmaintained-crate warning, so a gate must decide whether warnings count against it. Advisory identifiers use the invented NOVUS-SAMPLE namespace with SAMPLE-CVE aliases; no identifier here refers to a published CVE, GHSA or OSV record, and no package named exists.

- jsonCSAF 2.0 VEX DocumentA CSAF 2.0 VEX advisory with the nested product tree that CSAF requires (vendor, product name, product version), and product_status buckets rather than a per-statement status field. Advisory identifiers use the invented NOVUS-SAMPLE namespace with SAMPLE-CVE aliases; no identifier here refers to a published CVE, GHSA or OSV record, and no package named exists.

- jsonCycloneDX 1.5 Application SBOM (JSON)A CycloneDX 1.5 SBOM of the same fictional tree, useful for spec-version migration tests: 1.5 introduced the object form of metadata.tools and this file uses it, while dropping the 1.6-only external references. Every package, version, hash and licence is fictional: the tree describes nothing real.
