Awarded for completing Image Provenance and Signing in a Real Pipeline and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to state precisely what a signature proves, choose and document a trust root, design verification policies that name specific identities, place enforcement where it changes outcomes, and operate the programme through rejection, rollback and identity compromise.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
