# Protection Details
.RE
.PP
Objects that can move outside of TPM need to be protected
(confidentiality and integrity).
For instance, transient objects require that TPM protected data (key or
seal material) be stored outside of the TPM.
This is seen in tools like tpm2_create(1), where the \f[B]\-r\f[] option
outputs this protected data.
This blob contains the sensitive portions of the object.
The sensitive portions of the object are protected by the parent object,
using the parent\[aq]s symmetric encryption details to encrypt the
sensitive data and HMAC it.
.PP
In\-depth details can be found in sections 23 of:
.IP \[bu] 2
https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp\-content/uploads/TPM\-Rev\-2.0\-Part\-1\-Architecture\-01.38.pdf
.PP
Notably Figure 20, is relevant, even though it\[aq]s specifically
referring to duplication blobs, the process is identical.
.PP
If the output is from tpm2_duplicate(1), the output will be slightly
different, as described fully in section 23.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]\-f\f[], \f[B]\-\-format\f[]:
.RS 2
.PP
Format selection for the public key output file.
\[aq]tss\[aq] (the default) will output a binary blob according to the
TPM 2.0 Specification.
\[aq]pem\[aq] will output an OpenSSL compatible PEM encoded public key.
\[aq]der\[aq] will output an OpenSSL compatible DER encoded public key.
\[aq]tpmt\[aq] will output a binary blob of the TPMT_PUBLIC struct
referenced by TPM 2.0 specs.

\f[B]\-q\f[], \f[B]\-\-ak\-qualified\-name\f[]=\f[I]FILE\f[]:
.RS 2
.PP
The qualified name of the attestation key object.
The qualified name is the qualified name of the parent object (the EK in
this instance) and the name of the object itself.
Thus, the qualified name of an object serves to bind it to its parents.

.SH Context Object Format
.PP
The type of a context object, whether it is a handle or file name, is
determined according to the following logic \f[I]in\-order\f[]:
.IP \[bu] 2
If the argument is a file path, then the file is loaded as a restored
TPM transient object.
.IP \[bu] 2
If the argument is a \f[I]prefix\f[] match on one of:
.RS 2
.IP \[bu] 2
owner: the owner hierarchy
.IP \[bu] 2
platform: the platform hierarchy
.IP \[bu] 2
endorsement: the endorsement hierarchy
.IP \[bu] 2
lockout: the lockout control persistent object
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
If the argument argument can be loaded as a number it will be treat as a
handle, e.g.
0x81010013 and used directly.\f[I]OBJECT\f[].
.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[]

.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[].

.SH Algorithm Specifiers
.PP
Options that take algorithms support "nice\-names".
.PP
There are two major algorithm specification string classes, simple and
complex.
Only certain algorithms will be accepted by the TPM, based on usage and
conditions.
.SS Simple specifiers
.PP
These are strings with no additional specification data.
When creating objects, non\-specified portions of an object are assumed
to defaults.
You can find the list of known "Simple Specifiers Below".

.SS Complex Specifiers
.PP
Objects, when specified for creation by the TPM, have numerous
algorithms to populate in the public data.
Things like type, scheme and asymmetric details, key size, etc.
Below is the general format for specifying this data:
\f[C]<type>:<scheme>:<symmetric\-details>\f[]
.SS Type Specifiers
.PP
This portion of the complex algorithm specifier is required.
The remaining scheme and symmetric details will default based on the
type specified and the type of the object being created.
.IP \[bu] 2
aes \- Default AES: aes128
.IP \[bu] 2
aes128\f[C]<mode>\f[] \- 128 bit AES with optional mode
(\f[I]ctr\f[]|\f[I]ofb\f[]|\f[I]cbc\f[]|\f[I]cfb\f[]|\f[I]ecb\f[]).
If mode is not specified, defaults to \f[I]null\f[].

.SS Scheme Specifiers
.PP
Next, is an optional field, it can be skipped.
.PP
Schemes are usually \f[B]Signing Schemes\f[] or \f[B]Asymmetric
Encryption Schemes\f[].
Most signing schemes take a hash algorithm directly following the
signing scheme.
If the hash algorithm is missing, it defaults to \f[I]sha256\f[].
Some take no arguments, and some take multiple arguments.
.SS Hash Optional Scheme Specifiers
.PP
These scheme specifiers are followed by a dash and a valid hash
algorithm, For example: \f[C]oaep\-sha256\f[].

followed by a dash(\-) and a valid hash algorithm.
* ecdaa For example, ecdaa4\-sha256.
If no count is specified, it defaults to 4.
.SS No Option Scheme Specifiers
.PP
This scheme specifier takes NO arguments.
* rsaes
.SS Symmetric Details Specifiers
.PP
This field is optional, and defaults based on the \f[I]type\f[] of
object being created and it\[aq]s attributes.
Generally, any valid \f[B]Symmetric\f[] specifier from the \f[B]Type
Specifiers\f[] list should work.
If not specified, an asymmetric objects symmetric details defaults to
\f[I]aes128cfb\f[].

Format selection for the signature output file.
\f[B]tss\f[] (the default) will output a binary blob according to the
TPM 2.0 specification and any potential compiler padding.
The option \f[B]plain\f[] will output the plain signature data as
defined by the used cryptographic algorithm.
signature \f[I]FORMAT\f[].
.SH COMMON OPTIONS
.PP
This collection of options are common to many programs and provide
information that many users may expect.
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]\-h\f[], \f[B]\-\-help=[man|no\-man]\f[]: Display the tools
manpage.
By default, it attempts to invoke the manpager for the tool, however, on
failure will output a short tool summary.
This is the same behavior if the "man" option argument is specified,
however if explicit "man" is requested, the tool will provide errors
from man on stderr.
If the "no\-man" option if specified, or the manpager fails, the short
options will be output to stdout.
.RS 2
.PP
To successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be
installed or on \f[I]MANPATH\f[], See man(1) for more details.
.RE
.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]\-v\f[], \f[B]\-\-version\f[]: Display version information for this

.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]\-V\f[], \f[B]\-\-verbose\f[]: Increase the information that the

.IP \[bu] 2
\f[B]\-Z\f[], \f[B]\-\-enable\-errata\f[]: Enable the application of
errata fixups.
Useful if an errata fixup needs to be applied to commands sent to the
TPM.
Defining the environment TPM2TOOLS_ENABLE_ERRATA is equivalent.
information many users may expect.
.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

This collection of options are used to configure the various known TCTI
modules available:

\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
