New Foundations of SBOM Are Underway at OpenSSF

Explore the new foundations of Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) being developed at OpenSSF in this informative conference talk. Discover how projects like protobom, sbomit, and bomctl aim to address challenges in SBOM adoption, including competing standards, loose interpretation of specifications, software naming issues, and tooling variances. Learn about the vision for a future SBOM ecosystem where fundamental tasks are handled by end-user tools, and code is accessible to applications working with SBOM. Gain insights into how these building blocks are already benefiting other projects in the OpenSSF and SBOM ecosystem, such as OpenVEX. Understand the next steps for the SBOM ecosystem and the upcoming challenges that need solutions.
