Secure DevOps Buildchain / Deployment Artifact Validation

Before deploying packages to systems, it should be verified validate that release artifacts to be deployed are the same artifacts that were built via the build chain. Artifacts are looked up via their fingerprint (e.g. binary checksum) and verified to have a valid build provenance. This prevents that packages can be tampered with and and malicious code injected into the binaries.

A possible solution to this would be that buztool calculates a fingerprint (e.g. sha256) of the created package and stores the hash as a component version property. Before deploying a component version, it validates the fingerprint again after downloading the package from the artifact repository and aborts the deployment process if the checksum does not match.
