Q&A: SDK Integrity and Versioning

Question

How are we ensuring integrity and versioning of our SDK artifacts?

Tech Lead's Answer

All SDK artifacts are versioned and published with cryptographic hashes (e.g., SHA-256). Partners are encouraged to verify hashes before use. CDN and S3 enforce immutability for released versions.

Recommendation

Automate hash generation and verification in CI/CD. Communicate hash values to partners.

Risk

If artifacts are tampered with, partners may load malicious code.

Mitigation

• Enforce artifact immutability.
• Monitor for unauthorized changes.
• Provide hash verification tools.

Incident Response Plan

• Invalidate compromised artifacts.
• Notify partners to update SDK.
• Investigate distribution pipeline.
