+Enhancement: add SLSA provenance to the GHCR Container images
+
+Restic's GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) image build workflow now includes
+SLSA provenance generation. This enhancement improves the security and 
+traceability of images built and pushed to GHCR.

+Verifying SLSA Provenance for Docker Images
+*******************************************
+
+Our Docker images are built with SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts)
+provenance. 
+
+To verify this provenance:
+
+1. Install the `slsa-verifier` tool from https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier
+
+2. Run the following command:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      $ slsa-verifier verify-image \
+        --source-uri github.com/restic/restic \
+        <image-name>@<digest>
+
+   Replace `<tag>` with the Git tag of the release you're verifying, `<image-name>`
+   with the full name of the Docker image (including the registry), and `<digest>`
+   with the SHA256 digest of the image.
+
+3. If the verification is successful, you'll see output indicating that the provenance 
+is valid.
+
+This verification ensures that the Docker image was built by our official GitHub
+Actions workflow and has not been tampered with since its creation.
