Learned what TUF is and how RSTUF works. |
| 16-06-2026 |
Studied TUF roles (root, targets, snapshot, timestamp) and delegations (hash bin and custom delegations). |
| 17-06-2026 |
Explored the RSTUF Helm Charts repository, set up the demo deployment locally, and investigated issues while following the Quick Start guide. |
| 18-06-2026 |
Ran the RSTUF ceremony locally, inspected generated metadata files, and registered, signed and published a test artifact. |
| 19-06-2026 |
Analyzed metadata JSON files and identified information relevant for visualization. |
| 20-06-2026 |
Working on understanding metadata relationships and planning visualizer integration. |
| 22-06-2026 |
Studied the RSTUF's helm chart repo. Basics of helm chart. |
| 24-06-2026 |
Learnt about DTO, MVC, serialization and deserialization |
| 25-06-2026 |
Worked on where is metadata arrivng from. API calls which are being made |
| 26-06-2026 |
Worked on the design of the Metadata visualizer. How I'm gonna show the delegation tree, and information card of each. |
| 29-06-2026 |
Thought about possible edge cases(56k bins, how it affects the performance). The solution was handeling it by pagination. |
| 30-06-2026 |
Worked on making the visualizer future-proof. (for eg, if we wanna integrate write operations, like artifact additon.) |
| 02-07-2026 |
Made visalizer architecture (includes: Overall architecture, backend architecture, Request flow ) |
| 03-07-2026 |
Completed the prototype of the visualizer |
| 07-07-2026 |
Tried optimizing the metadata fetching pipeline by refactoring storage.py to use concurrent asyncio.gather requests while preserving the required sequential dependency. |
| 08-07-2026 |
Tried optimizing the frontend by using Promise.all for overview and details API calls so these are fired sequentially. Implemented the same in the visualizer |
| 09-07-2026 |
Worked on pagination and possible filters(eg: bins with artifacts only) |
| 10-07-2026 |
Discussion on ceremony and keys in meeting. Starting actual implementation next week. |
| 13-07-2026 |
Worked on few questions like, (Why is web file so big in docker, what are Async key, and web server metadata) |
| 15-07-2026 |
topic of discussion from the meeting was selling RSTUF visualizer as a service which can be used after a quick setup using umbrella, just like how RSTUF API work. Worked on that |
| 20-07-2026 |
Worked on the implemenation of visualizer as a service. |
| 23-07-2026 |
Worked on the requirements of the components. |
| 27-07-2026 |
Worked on the two milestones, supporting this visualizer using tuf client, to fetch the metadata. and making it extensible. |
| 28-07-2026 |
Read about updater. |
| 03-08-2026 |
Implemeted the python-tuf’s tuf.ngclient.updater insted of my own implementation in the prototype, so the library does all the signature, threshold, expiry and rollback checking. |
