Description

**What would you like to be added**:

A tool called `cosign`[^1] created and maintained by the `sigstore` [^2] community allows you to sign and verify container images. IINM `Syft` takes its releases via `GoReleaser,` luckily `cosign` is now integrated into `GoReleaser.`[^3]. Btw, there is a similar topic ongoing for the `ossf/scorecard` project too.[^4]

**Why is this needed**:
