There is an issue in the tracker that is similar to this one: MNG-5814, but it's only about the verification of plugins. A generic solution should work for all external dependencies. > Extend the Project Object Model (POM) with trust information (OpenPGP, hash > values) > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6026 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6026 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: core > Reporter: Florian Schmaus > > I'm not sure if this is the right place to raise an feature request for the > POM format itself.

Extend the Project Object Model (POM) with trust information (OpenPGP - > RFC 4480 and hash values) > What we need is the possibility to model a trust relation from your project > or artifact to the declared dependencies. So that, if all involved parties > declare such a relation, we are able to create a "chain of trust" from the > root (e.g. the project) over its dependencies down to the very last > transitive dependency. The Project Object Model (POM) needs to be extended by > a <verification/> element for dependencies. > h3.

Hard dependencies > For hard dependencies, <verfication/> could include the sha256sum of artifact > and its POM file: > {code:xml} > <dependency> > <groupId>junit</groupId> > <artifactId>junit</artifactId> > <version>[4.0]</version> > <verification> > <checksum hash='sha-256'> > <pom>[sha256 of junit pom file]</pom> > <artifact>[sha256sum of artifact (junit.jar)]</artifact> > </checksum> > </verification> > </dependency> > {code} > h3.
