The 'payloadType' field in a DSSE envelope is always supposed to be set to the in-toto media type. We were incorrectly placing the inner predicateType here. The DSSE library probably shouldn't even expose this as a parameter given that it's a MUST in the spec. Signed-off-by: Dan Lorenc <lorenc.d@gmail.com>

cc @mlieberman85 for a second instance of that bug we found earlier :) |

The spec itself is here: https://github.com/in-toto/attestation/tree/main/spec#envelope |

yeah that's weird |

NVM I got the layering wrong - the DSSE implementation is fine. In DSS, you can set any payloadType: https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/dsse/blob/master/protocol.md The In-ToTo Attestation Spec is the one that requires that payloadType: https://github.com/in-toto/attestation/tree/main/spec#envelope So fixing it here makes sense, given it's a library for generating in-toto attestations. |
