-## Cosign and slsa verification
+## Native Security Verification
 
-mise will verify signatures of tools using [cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/) and [slsa-verifier](https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier)
-if cosign/slsa-verifier is installed and the tool is configured to support it. Typically, these will be tools using aqua as the backend.
-See the [aqua docs](https://aquaproj.github.io/docs/reference/security/cosign-slsa) for more on how this is
-configured in the [aqua registry](https://github.com/aquaproj/aqua-registry).
+mise provides **native Rust implementation** for security verification of tools, eliminating the need for external dependencies like `cosign`, `slsa-verifier`, or `gh` CLI tools. This applies to tools using the aqua backend.
 
-You will see this verification happen when tools are installed, setting `--verbose` when installing tools will help
-make it easier to see if verification happened. If you happen to notice a tool offers gpg/slsa/cosign/minisign/etc, see if you can
-make a PR to the aqua registry for mise to pick it up.
+### Supported Verification Methods
+
+- **Cosign signatures**: Native keyless and key-based signature verification
+- **SLSA provenance**: Native verification of Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA) attestations
+- **GitHub Artifact Attestations**: Native verification of GitHub's artifact attestation system
+- **Minisign verification**: Uses the `minisign` CLI tool (external dependency)
+- **Checksum verification**: Always enabled for supported backends
+
+### Configuration
+
+All verification methods are enabled by default and can be configured via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+# Enable/disable specific verification methods
+export MISE_AQUA_COSIGN=true                 # Default: true
+export MISE_AQUA_SLSA=true                   # Default: true
+export MISE_AQUA_GITHUB_ATTESTATIONS=true    # Default: true
+export MISE_AQUA_MINISIGN=true               # Default: true
+```
+
+### How it Works
+
+You will see this verification happen automatically when aqua tools are installed. The verification status is displayed during installation with progress indicators. If any verification fails, the installation will be aborted.
+
+See the [aqua docs](https://aquaproj.github.io/docs/reference/security/cosign-slsa) for more on how verification is configured in the [aqua registry](https://github.com/aquaproj/aqua-registry).
+
+If you notice a tool offers security verification methods (gpg/slsa/cosign/minisign/etc), consider making a PR to the aqua registry to enable verification for that tool.

+## Security Verification
+
+Aqua backend supports multiple security verification methods to ensure the integrity and authenticity of downloaded tools. mise provides **native Rust implementation** for all verification methods, eliminating the need for external CLI tools like `cosign`, `slsa-verifier`, or `gh`.
+
+### GitHub Artifact Attestations
+
+GitHub Artifact Attestations provide cryptographic proof that artifacts were built by specific GitHub Actions workflows. mise verifies these attestations natively to ensure the authenticity and integrity of downloaded tools.
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- The tool must have `github_artifact_attestations` configuration in the aqua registry for attestations to be verified
+- No external tools required - verification is handled natively by mise
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```bash
+# Enable/disable GitHub attestations verification (default: true)
+export MISE_AQUA_GITHUB_ATTESTATIONS=true
+```
+
+**Registry Configuration Example:**
+
+```yaml
+packages:
+  - type: github_release
+    repo_owner: cli
+    repo_name: cli
+    github_artifact_attestations:
+      signer_workflow: cli/cli/.github/workflows/deployment.yml
+```
+
+### Cosign Verification
+
+mise natively verifies Cosign signatures without requiring the `cosign` CLI tool to be installed.
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```bash
+# Enable/disable Cosign verification (default: true)
+export MISE_AQUA_COSIGN=true
+
+# Pass extra arguments to the verification process
+export MISE_AQUA_COSIGN_EXTRA_ARGS="--key /path/to/key.pub"
+```
+
+### SLSA Provenance Verification
+
+mise natively verifies SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts) provenance without requiring the `slsa-verifier` CLI tool.
+
+**Configuration:**
+
+```bash
+# Enable/disable SLSA verification (default: true)
+export MISE_AQUA_SLSA=true
+```
+
+### Other Security Methods
+
+Aqua also supports:
+
+- **Minisign verification**: Uses minisign for signature verification (requires minisign CLI)
+- **Checksum verification**: Verifies SHA256/SHA512 checksums (always enabled)
+
+### Verification Process
+
+During tool installation, mise will:
+
+1. Download the tool and any signature/attestation files
+2. Perform native verification using the configured methods
+3. Display verification status with progress indicators
+4. Abort installation if any verification fails
+
+**Example output during installation:**
+
+```
+✓ Downloaded cli/cli v2.50.0
+✓ GitHub attestations verified
+✓ Tool installed successfully
+```
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+If verification fails:
+
+1. **Check network connectivity**: Verification requires downloading attestation data
+2. **Verify tool configuration**: Ensure the aqua registry has correct verification settings
+3. **Disable specific verification**: Temporarily disable problematic verification methods
+4. **Enable debug logging**: Use `MISE_DEBUG=1` to see detailed verification logs
+
+**Common issues:**
+
+- **No attestations found**: The tool may not have attestations configured in the registry
+- **Verification timeout**: Network issues or slow attestation services
+- **Certificate validation**: Clock skew or certificate chain issues
+
+To disable all verification temporarily:
+
+```bash
+export MISE_AQUA_GITHUB_ATTESTATIONS=false
+export MISE_AQUA_COSIGN=false
+export MISE_AQUA_SLSA=false
+export MISE_AQUA_MINISIGN=false
+```

 ## Software verification
 
-Install cosign, slsa-verifier, and gpg (cosign and slsa-verifier can be installed with mise) in order to verify tools automatically.
+mise provides **native software verification** for aqua tools without requiring external dependencies. For aqua tools, cosign signatures, SLSA provenance, and GitHub attestations are verified automatically using mise's built-in implementation.
+
+For other verification needs (like GPG), you can install additional tools:
 
 ```sh
 brew install gpg
-mise use -g cosign slsa-verifier
+# Note: cosign and slsa-verifier are no longer needed for aqua tools
+# mise now handles verification natively
+```
+
+To configure aqua verification (all enabled by default):
+
+```sh
+# Disable specific verification methods if needed
+export MISE_AQUA_COSIGN=false
+export MISE_AQUA_SLSA=false
+export MISE_AQUA_GITHUB_ATTESTATIONS=false
