Finding Approval Attestation

JSON Schema for finding-approval attestations in CycloneDX declarations format. Shape-only: approver-not-equal-author (comparison against the finding's author identity), target hash resolution, and the publication invariant are verifier (adbom-cli) checks the schema cannot perform. Normative requirements: https://sec.hypermedia.au/standards/finding-approval/v1 Cross-document convention (ratified 2026-07-18): map.requirement cites the requirement's published URL (pattern-pinned, offline-checkable); claim.target is a BOM-Link to the L2 Finding. These deliberately reference documents outside this BOM; resolution is via sec.hypermedia.au and BOM-Links.

What this attestation claims

It asserts one of these predicates:

• finding-approved
• finding-rejected
• changes-requested

About: FAPP-002: BOM-Link to the L2 Finding — matching ^urn:cdx:.+#finding-.+.

Reasoning: a written justification is required.

How it's scored

Each mapped requirement carries two independent 0.0–1.0 scores, each with a rationale: conformance (how fully the requirement is met) and confidence (how sure the assessor is of that judgement).

Signing & trust

Signed with ES256 / ES384 / ES512.

Keyless signing via a Fulcio certificate — the signer's identity is bound in the certificate path, so there's no long-lived key to manage.

Who may attest

Each attestation names an assessor described by:

bom-ref (required)

a BOM reference identifying the assessor entry

thirdParty

whether the assessor is an independent third party

organization (required)

the attesting organization (name + URL)
