Explanation
Docker Content Trust (DCT) is a feature that allows users to verify the integrity and publisher of container images they pull or deploy from a registry server, signed on a Notary server12. DCT does not verify or encrypt the Docker registry TLS, which is a separate mechanism for securing the communication between the Docker client and the registry server. The purpose of DCT is to ensure that the images are not tampered with or maliciously modified by anyone other than the original publisher3. References:
