What is the Docker Content Trust (DCT)?
Docker is a containerization platform. and it has powerful security functionality that is provided by Docker. It is mainly used to check the authenticity of a Docker image. Because there are multiple images available on Docker Hub, before pulling an external resource into our system, we want to ensure that the image we are using is authentic and safe for our system. it uses some advanced techniques to ensure that the image is secure and authentic. It uses digital signatures for data sent to and received from remote Docker registries.
What Is Docker Trust Content ?
When we are using Docker images, we must think about whether the image we are using is trustworthy or not, because trust is a central concern in every field. especially when we download external resources from our local system. In this scenario, Docker comes up with a special security feature called Docker Content Trust (DCT).
