.SH Authorization Formatting
.PP
Authorization for use of an object in TPM2.0 can come in 3 different
forms: 1.
Password 2.
HMAC 3.
Sessions
.PP
\f[B]NOTE:\f[] "Authorizations default to the \f[B]EMPTY PASSWORD\f[]
when not specified".
.SS Passwords
.PP
Passwords are interpreted in the following forms below using prefix
identifiers.
.PP
\f[B]Note\f[]: By default passwords are assumed to be in the string form
when they do not have a prefix.
.SS String
.PP
A string password, specified by prefix "str:" or it\[aq]s absence (raw
string without prefix) is not interpreted, and is directly used for
authorization.
.SS Examples
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
foobar
str:foobar
\f[]
.fi
.SS Hex\-string
.PP
A hex\-string password, specified by prefix "hex:" is converted from a
hexidecimal form into a byte array form, thus allowing passwords with
non\-printable and/or terminal un\-friendly characters.
.SS Example
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
hex:0x1122334455667788
\f[]
.fi
.SS File
.PP
A file based password, specified be prefix "file:" should be the path of
a file containing the password to be read by the tool or a "\-" to use
stdin.
Storing passwords in files prevents information leakage, passwords
passed as options can be read from the process list or common shell
history features.
.SS Examples
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
#\ to\ use\ stdin\ and\ be\ prompted
file:\-

#\ to\ use\ a\ file\ from\ a\ path
file:path/to/password/file

#\ to\ echo\ a\ password\ via\ stdin:
echo\ foobar\ |\ tpm2_tool\ \-p\ file:\-

#\ to\ use\ a\ bash\ here\-string\ via\ stdin:

tpm2_tool\ \-p\ file:\-\ <<<\ foobar
\f[]
.fi
.SS Sessions
.PP
When using a policy session to authorize the use of an object, prefix
the option argument with the \f[I]session\f[] keyword.
Then indicate a path to a session file that was created with
tpm2_startauthsession(1).
Optionally, if the session requires an auth value to be sent with the
session handle (eg policy password), then append a + and a string as
described in the \f[B]Passwords\f[] section.
.SS Examples
.PP
To use a session context file called \f[I]session.ctx\f[].
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
session:session.ctx
\f[]
.fi
.PP
To use a session context file called \f[I]session.ctx\f[] \f[B]AND\f[]
send the authvalue mypassword.
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
session:session.ctx+mypassword
\f[]
.fi
.PP
To use a session context file called \f[I]session.ctx\f[] \f[B]AND\f[]
send the \f[I]HEX\f[] authvalue 0x11223344.
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
session:session.ctx+hex:11223344
\f[]
.fi
.SS PCR Authorizations
.PP
You can satisfy a PCR policy using the "pcr:" prefix and the PCR
minilanguage.
The PCR minilanguage is as follows:
\f[C]<pcr\-spec>=<raw\-pcr\-file>\f[]
.PP
The PCR spec is documented in in the section "PCR bank specifiers".
.PP
The \f[C]raw\-pcr\-file\f[] is an \f[B]optional\f[] the output of the
raw PCR contents as returned by \f[I]tpm2_pcrread(1)\f[].
.PP
PCR bank specifiers (common/pcr.md)
.SS Examples
.PP
To satisfy a PCR policy of sha256 on banks 0, 1, 2 and 3 use a specifier
of:
.IP

\f[C]
pcr:sha256:0,1,2,3

.SH TCTI Configuration
.PP
The TCTI or "Transmission Interface" is the communication mechanism with
the TPM.
TCTIs can be changed for communication with TPMs across different
mediums.
.PP
To control the TCTI, the tools respect:
.IP "1." 3
The command line option \f[B]\-T\f[] or \f[B]\-\-tcti\f[]
.IP "2." 3
The environment variable: \f[I]TPM2TOOLS_TCTI\f[].
.PP
\f[B]Note:\f[] The command line option always overrides the environment
variable.
.PP
The current known TCTIs are:
.IP \[bu] 2
tabrmd \- The resource manager, called
tabrmd (https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd).
Note that tabrmd and abrmd as a tcti name are synonymous.
.IP \[bu] 2
mssim \- Typically used for communicating to the TPM software simulator.
.IP \[bu] 2
device \- Used when talking directly to a TPM device file.
.IP \[bu] 2
none \- Do not initalize a connection with the TPM.
Some tools allow for off\-tpm options and thus support not using a TCTI.
Tools that do not support it will error when attempted to be used
without a TCTI connection.
Does not support \f[I]ANY\f[] options and \f[I]MUST BE\f[] presented as
the exact text of "none".
.PP
The arguments to either the command line option or the environment
variable are in the form:
.PP
\f[C]<tcti\-name>:<tcti\-option\-config>\f[]
.PP
Specifying an empty string for either the \f[C]<tcti\-name>\f[] or
\f[C]<tcti\-option\-config>\f[] results in the default being used for
that portion respectively.
.SS TCTI Defaults
.PP
When a TCTI is not specified, the default TCTI is searched for using
\f[I]dlopen(3)\f[] semantics.
The tools will search for \f[I]tabrmd\f[], \f[I]device\f[] and
\f[I]mssim\f[] TCTIs \f[B]IN THAT ORDER\f[] and \f[B]USE THE FIRST ONE
FOUND\f[].
You can query what TCTI will be chosen as the default by using the
\f[B]\-v\f[] option to print the version information.
The "default\-tcti" key\-value pair will indicate which of the
aforementioned TCTIs is the default.
.SS Custom TCTIs
.PP
Any TCTI that implements the dynamic TCTI interface can be loaded.
The tools internally use \f[I]dlopen(3)\f[], and the raw
\f[I]tcti\-name\f[] value is used for the lookup.
Thus, this could be a path to the shared library, or a library name as
understood by \f[I]dlopen(3)\f[] semantics.
.SH TCTI OPTIONS
.PP
This collection of options are used to configure the various known TCTI
modules available:
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]device\f[]: For the device TCTI, the TPM character device file for
use by the device TCTI can be specified.
The default is \f[I]/dev/tpm0\f[].
.RS 2
.PP
Example: \f[B]\-T device:/dev/tpm0\f[] or \f[B]export
\f[I]TPM2TOOLS_TCTI\f[]="device:/dev/tpm0"\f[]
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]mssim\f[]: For the mssim TCTI, the domain name or IP address and
port number used by the simulator can be specified.
The default are 127.0.0.1 and 2321.
.RS 2
.PP
Example: \f[B]\-T mssim:host=localhost,port=2321\f[] or \f[B]export
\f[I]TPM2TOOLS_TCTI\f[]="mssim:host=localhost,port=2321"\f[]
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]abrmd\f[]: For the abrmd TCTI, the configuration string format is a
series of simple key value pairs separated by a \[aq],\[aq] character.
Each key and value string are separated by a \[aq]=\[aq] character.
.RS 2
.IP \[bu] 2
TCTI abrmd supports two keys:
.RS 2
.IP "1." 3
\[aq]bus_name\[aq] : The name of the tabrmd service on the bus (a
string).
.IP "2." 3
\[aq]bus_type\[aq] : The type of the dbus instance (a string) limited to
\[aq]session\[aq] and \[aq]system\[aq].
.RE
.PP
Specify the tabrmd tcti name and a config string of
\f[C]bus_name=com.example.FooBar\f[]:
.PP
\f[C]\\\-\-tcti=tabrmd:bus_name=com.example.FooBar\f[]
.PP
Specify the default (abrmd) tcti and a config string of
\f[C]bus_type=session\f[]:
.PP
\f[C]\\\-\-tcti:bus_type=session\f[]
.PP
\f[B]NOTE\f[]: abrmd and tabrmd are synonymous.

.SH Returns
.PP
Tools can return any of the following codes:
.IP \[bu] 2
0 \- Success.
.IP \[bu] 2
1 \- General non\-specific error.
.IP \[bu] 2
2 \- Options handling error.

.SH Limitations
.PP
It expects a session to be already established via
\f[B]tpm2_startauthsession\f[](1) and requires one of the following:
.IP \[bu] 2
direct device access
.IP \[bu] 2
extended session support with \f[B]tpm2\-abrmd\f[].
.PP
Without it, most resource managers \f[B]will not\f[] save session state
between command invocations.
