About this talk
This talk by Gregor Bransky focuses on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and its implications for free and open-source software (FOSS) projects, emphasizing the need for enhanced security and software attestation. The speaker introduces fair-share cost tokens, which are designed to facilitate financial flows within open source software supply chains without utilizing blockchain technology. These cryptographically signed tokens enable software manufacturers to demonstrate their contributions to the health of their FOSS ecosystem and create communication channels for addressing security incidents. The session also discusses frameworks like SCITT and Omnibor that could support the technical implementation of these concepts, alongside the necessary policy considerations for compatibility between FOSS projects in the EU and nonprofit organizations in the US.
