Summary
Adds 6.4.6 to C6.4 (Trusted Source Enforcement) to close a gap where 6.4.2 requires signature validation but does not require pinning the publisher's signing key per source registry.
New control:
Level: 2
Why this is needed
6.4.2 says to validate signatures, but without key pinning an attacker who compromises a registry or performs a DNS hijack can substitute their own signing key. Key pinning closes this: organizations maintain an explicit allowlist of trusted publisher keys per source registry, and any key not on that list causes the artifact to be rejected. Key rotation is treated as a security event requiring explicit re-approval rather than being transparently accepted.
This is analogous to certificate pinning in TLS but applied to the AI supply chain (model weights, containers). It is AI-specific because model weight repositories (Hugging Face, model hubs) are not covered by standard web PKI pinning mechanisms.
