Understanding software provenance is crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of software systems. Some of the key features of software provenance includes origin tracking, where you involve the tracking of origin of the software. Including who wrote the code, where it was developed, and how it's been changed over time. Also, a chain of custody. A clear chain documenting who's possessed the software since its development. Secure coding standards. Provenance includes information about the secure coding standards applied during this software development process. Also, static and dynamic code analysis. Provenance involves using static and dynamic analysis methods, or threat modeling, to assess the security of the software.
