# Atlas CLI: Machine Learning (ML) Lifecycle & Transparency Manager
⚠️ **Disclaimer**: This project is currently in active development. The code is **not stable** and **not intended for use in production environments**. Interfaces, features, and behaviors are subject to change without notice.
A command-line interface tool for creating, managing, and verifying Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) manifests for machine learning models, datasets, and related artifacts.
## Key Features
- **Model & Dataset Manifests**: Create C2PA-compliant manifests for ML models and datasets
- **Cryptographic Signing**: Sign manifests with cryptographic keys for authenticity verification, incl. support for the [OpenSSF Model Signing] (OMS) specification.
- **Provenance Linking**: Create verifiable links between models, datasets, and ML assets
- **Multiple Storage Types**: Store manifests in [Atlas Transparency Log](https://github.com/IntelLabs/atlas-transparency-log), [Sigstore Rekor](https://docs.sigstore.dev/logging/overview/) transparency log, or filesystem backends
- **Rekor Verification**: Verify manifests against Rekor entries (payload hash + DSSE signature)
- **Format Support**: Work with models in ONNX, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Keras formats
- **TEE Attestation**: Optional support for Trusted Execution Environment (TDX) integration
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain (1.70 or later) - [Install Rust](https://rustup.rs/)
- OpenSSL development libraries
- (Optional) Protobuf compiler for TDX support
## Install Methods
### Install from crates.io
The simplest way to install Atlas CLI is using cargo:
```bash
cargo install atlas-cli
```
#### Install with Specific Features
##### With TDX Attestation Support:
```bash
# First install protobuf compiler
# Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install protobuf-compiler
# Then install with TDX feature
cargo install atlas-cli --features with-tdx
```
#### Install from Source
```bash
# Clone repositories
git clone https://github.com/IntelLabs/atlas-cli
cd atlas-cli
# Build and install
cargo install --path .
# Or build without installing
cargo build --release
# Binary will be at ./target/release/atlas-cli
# To update to the latest version:
cargo install atlas-cli --force
```
