The potential of SBOMs to track vulnerabilities is widely recognized. Open source tools capable of creating SBOMs exist in abundance. However, many of these tools are inventorying software post-build, which relies on heuristics and can result in missing build and dependency metadata which limits the compliance and security benefits of an SBOM. Software is modular in nature - each component has its lifecycle and our SBOM creation and management should represent the modular nature of the whole. What if instead of relying on post-build tools we utilized a sum-of-parts approach to create component level Micro-SBOMs that could be stitched together to create one high-level SBOM? We refer to the process of taking one or more Micro-SBOMs describing some component of the same top level software and transforming them into a single SBOM as "composing". Instead of asking SBOM consumers to open hundreds of fragmented Micro-SBOMs, we’re working on a tool that can do the composing for us. In this talk we will share details on why post-build scanning isn’t sufficient for producing accurate SBOM, discuss operationalisation of SBOMs and motivate the need for more modular SBOM composition. We will demo our proof-of-concept SPDX SBOM composition tool and invite your feedback and collaboration.
