+## Verifying SDK build provenance with the SLSA framework
+
+LaunchDarkly uses the [SLSA framework](https://slsa.dev/spec/v1.0/about) (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) to help developers make their supply chain more secure by ensuring the authenticity and build integrity of our published SDK packages.
+
+As part of [SLSA requirements for level 3 compliance](https://slsa.dev/spec/v1.0/requirements), LaunchDarkly publishes provenance about our SDK package builds using [GitHub's generic SLSA3 provenance generator](https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-github-generator/blob/main/internal/builders/generic/README.md#generation-of-slsa3-provenance-for-arbitrary-projects) for distribution alongside our packages. These attestations are available for download from the GitHub release page for the release version under Assets > `multiple-provenance.intoto.jsonl`.
+
+To verify SLSA provenance attestations, we recommend using [slsa-verifier](https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier). Example usage for verifying SDK packages is included below:
+
+```
+# Download gem
+$ gem fetch launchdarkly-server-sdk
+
+# Download provenance from Github release
+$ curl --location -O \
+  https://github.com/launchdarkly/ruby-server-sdk/releases/download/VERSION/multiple.intoto.jsonl
+
+# Run slsa-verifier to verify provenance against package artifacts 
+$ slsa-verifier verify-artifact \
+--provenance-path multiple-provenance.intoto.jsonl \
+--source-uri github.com/launchdarkly/ruby-server-sdk \
+launchdarkly-server-sdk-VERSION.gem
+
+TBD OUTPUT
+```
+
+Alternatively, to verify the provenance manually, the SLSA framework specifies [recommendations for verifying build artifacts](https://slsa.dev/spec/v1.0/verifying-artifacts) in their documentation.
+
+**Note:** These instructions do not apply when building our SDKs from source.
