tpm2_certifycreation(1)	    General Commands Manual    tpm2_certifycreation(1)

NAME
       tpm2_certifycreation(1)	- Attest the association between a loaded pub-
       lic area	and the	provided hash of the creation data.

SYNOPSIS
       tpm2_certifycreation [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm2_certifycreation(1) - Attest	the association	between	a loaded  pub-
       lic area	and the	provided hash of the creation data.  The creation data
       and  the	creation ticket	is produced when creating the object.  The ob-
       ject itself is created with either  TPM2_CreatePrimary  or  TPM2_Create
       commands.

OPTIONS
        -C, --signingkey-context=OBJECT:

	 Context object	pointing to the	key used that signs the	attestation.

        -P, --signingkey-auth_AUTH_:

	 Optional authorization	value to use for the key specified by -C.

        -c, --certifiedkey-context=OBJECT:

	 Context object	pointing to the	key that has to	be certified.

        -g, --hash-algorithm=ALGORITHM:

	 The hash algorithm used to digest the creation	data.

        -s, --scheme=ALGORITHM:

	 The signing scheme used to sign the attestation data.

        -d, --creation-hash=FILE

	 File containing the digest of the creation data.

        -t, --ticket=FILE:

	 The  ticket  file  to validate	that the creation data was produced by
	 the TPM.

        -o, --signature=FILE:

	 File containing the signature of the attestation data for the	certi-
	 fied key.

        -f, --format=FORMAT:

	 Output	signature format selection.

        -attestation=FILE:

	 The attestation data of the type TPM2_CREATION_INFO signed with sign-
	 ing key.

        -q, --qualification=FILE_OR_HEX:

	 Optional, the policy qualifier	data that the signer can choose	to in-
	 clude in the signature.  Can either be	a path or hex string.

        --cphash=FILE

	 File path to record the hash of the command parameters.  This is com-
	 monly termed as cpHash.  NOTE:	When this option is selected, The tool
	 will  not  actually  execute the command, it simply returns a cpHash,
	 unless	rphash is also required.

        --rphash=FILE

	 File path to record the hash of the  response	parameters.   This  is
	 commonly termed as rpHash.

        -S, --session=FILE:

	 The session created using tpm2_startauthsession.  This	can be used to
	 specify  an  auxiliary	session	for auditing and or encryption/decryp-
	 tion of the parameters.

Context	Object Format
       The type	of a context object, whether it	is a handle or file  name,  is
       determined according to the following logic in-order:

        If the	argument is a file path, then the file is loaded as a restored
	 TPM transient object.

        If the	argument is a prefix match on one of:

	  owner: the owner hierarchy

	  platform: the platform hierarchy

	  endorsement:	the endorsement	hierarchy

	  lockout: the	lockout	control	persistent object

        If  the  argument argument can	be loaded as a number it will be treat
	 as a handle, e.g. 0x81010013 and used directly._OBJECT_.

Authorization Formatting
       Authorization for use of	an object in TPM2.0 can	come  in  3  different
       forms: 1.  Password 2.  HMAC 3.	Sessions

       NOTE:  "Authorizations  default	to  the	EMPTY PASSWORD when not	speci-
       fied".

   Passwords
       Passwords are interpreted in the	following  forms  below	 using	prefix
       identifiers.

       Note:  By  default  passwords are assumed to be in the string form when
       they do not have	a prefix.

   String
       A string	password, specified by prefix  "str:"  or  it's	 absence  (raw
       string without prefix) is not interpreted, and is directly used for au-
       thorization.

   Examples
	      foobar
	      str:foobar

   Hex-string
       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.

   Example
	      hex:1122334455667788

   File
       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.

   Examples
	      #	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

   Sessions
       When using a policy session to authorize	the use	of an  object,	prefix
       the  option argument with the session keyword.  Then indicate a path to
       a session file that was created with tpm2_startauthsession(1).  Option-
       ally, 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 Passwords	section.

   Examples
       To use a	session	context	file called session.ctx.

	      session:session.ctx

       To use a	session	context	file called session.ctx	AND send the authvalue
       mypassword.

	      session:session.ctx+mypassword

       To use a	session	context	file called session.ctx	AND send the HEX auth-
       value 0x11223344.

	      session:session.ctx+hex:11223344

   PCR Authorizations
       You  can	satisfy	a PCR policy using the "pcr:" prefix and the PCR mini-
       language.  The PCR minilanguage	is  as	follows:  <pcr-spec>=<raw-pcr-
       file>

       The PCR spec is documented in in	the section "PCR bank specifiers".

       The  raw-pcr-file  is  an optional argument that	contains the output of
       the raw PCR contents as returned	by tpm2_pcrread(1).

       PCR bank	specifiers

   Examples
       To satisfy a PCR	policy of sha256 on banks 0, 1,	2 and 3	use a specifi-
       er of:

	      pcr:sha256:0,1,2,3

       specifying AUTH.

Algorithm Specifiers
       Options that take algorithms support "nice-names".

       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.

   Simple specifiers
       These are strings with no additional specification data.	 When creating
       objects,	 non-specified	portions of an object are assumed to defaults.

   Complex Specifiers
       Objects,	when specified for creation by the TPM,	 have  numerous	 algo-
       rithms  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: <type>:<scheme>:<symmetric-details>

   Type	Specifiers
       This  portion  of the complex algorithm specifier is required.  The re-
       maining scheme and symmetric details will default  based	 on  the  type
       specified and the type of the object being created.

        aes - Default AES: aes128

        aes128<mode>  - 128 bit AES with optional mode	(ctr|ofb|cbc|cfb|ecb).
	 If mode is not	specified, defaults to null.

        aes192<mode> -	Same as	aes128<mode>, except for a 192 bit key size.

        aes256<mode> -	Same as	aes128<mode>, except for a 256 bit key size.

        sm4 - Default SM4: sm4128

        sm4128	 or  sm4_128  <mode>  -	 128  bit  SM4	with   optional	  mode
	 (ctr|ofb|cbc|cfb|ecb).	 If mode is not	specified, defaults to null.

        ecc - Elliptical Curve, defaults to ecc256.

        ecc192	or ecc_nist_p192 - 192 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc224	or ecc_nist_p224 - 224 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc256	or ecc_nist_p256 - 256 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc384	or ecc_nist_p384 - 384 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc521	or ecc_nist_p521 - 521 bit ECC NIST curve

        ecc_sm2 or ecc_sm2_p256 - 256 bit SM2 curve

        rsa - Default RSA: rsa2048

        rsa1024 - RSA with 1024 bit keysize.

        rsa2048 - RSA with 2048 bit keysize.

        rsa3072 - RSA with 3072 bit keysize.

        rsa4096 - RSA with 4096 bit keysize.

   Scheme Specifiers
       Next, is	an optional field, it can be skipped.

       Schemes	are  usually Signing Schemes or	Asymmetric Encryption Schemes.
       Most signing schemes take a hash	algorithm directly following the sign-
       ing scheme.  If the hash	algorithm is missing, it defaults  to  sha256.
       Some take no arguments, and some	take multiple arguments.

   Hash	Optional Scheme	Specifiers
       These  scheme  specifiers are followed by a dash	and a valid hash algo-
       rithm, For example: oaep-sha256.

        oaep

        ecdh

        rsassa

        rsapss

        ecdsa

        ecschnorr

        sm2

   Multiple Option Scheme Specifiers
       This scheme specifier is	followed by a count  (max  size	 UINT16)  then
       followed	by a dash(-) and a valid hash algorithm.  * ecdaa For example,
       ecdaa4-sha256.  If no count is specified, it defaults to	4.

   No Option Scheme Specifiers
       This scheme specifier takes NO arguments.  * rsaes

   Symmetric Details Specifiers
       This  field is optional,	and defaults based on the type of object being
       created and it's	attributes.  Generally,	any valid Symmetric  specifier
       from  the Type Specifiers list should work.  If not specified, an asym-
       metric objects symmetric	details	defaults to aes128cfb.

   Examples
   Create an rsa2048 key with an rsaes asymmetric encryption scheme
       tpm2_create -C parent.ctx -G rsa2048:rsaes -u key.pub -r	key.priv

   Create an ecc256 key	with an	ecdaa signing scheme with a  count  of	4  and
       sha384 hash

COMMON OPTIONS
       This collection of options are common to	many programs and provide  in-
       formation that many users may expect.

        -h,  --help=[man|no-man]:  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  re-
	 quested,  the	tool  will  provide errors from	man on stderr.	If the
	 "no-man" option if specified, or the manpager fails,  the  short  op-
	 tions will be output to stdout.

	 To  successfully use the manpages feature requires the	manpages to be
	 installed or on MANPATH, See man(1) for more details.

        -v, --version:	Display	version	information for	this  tool,  supported
	 tctis and exit.

        -V,  --verbose:  Increase the information that	the tool prints	to the
	 console during	its execution.	When using this	option	the  file  and
	 line number are printed.

        -Q, --quiet: Silence normal tool output to stdout.

        -Z, --enable-errata: 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.   in-
	 formation many	users may expect.

TCTI Configuration
       The  TCTI  or  "Transmission  Interface"	is the communication mechanism
       with the	TPM.  TCTIs can	be changed for communication with TPMs	across
       different mediums.

       To control the TCTI, the	tools respect:

       1. The command line option -T or	--tcti

       2. The environment variable: TPM2TOOLS_TCTI.

       Note:  The  command  line option	always overrides the environment vari-
       able.

       The current known TCTIs are:

        tabrmd	    -	  The	  resource     manager,	    called	tabrmd
	 (https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd).	  Note that tabrmd and
	 abrmd as a tcti name are synonymous.

        mssim - Typically used	for communicating to the TPM software  simula-
	 tor.

        device	- Used when talking directly to	a TPM device file.

        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 ANY options and MUST BE presented as
	 the exact text	of "none".

       The arguments to	either the command  line  option  or  the  environment
       variable	are in the form:

       <tcti-name>:<tcti-option-config>

       Specifying  an empty string for either the <tcti-name> or <tcti-option-
       config> results in the default being used for that portion  respective-
       ly.

   TCTI	Defaults
       When  a	TCTI  is not specified,	the default TCTI is searched for using
       dlopen(3) semantics.  The tools will  search  for  tabrmd,  device  and
       mssim  TCTIs  IN	THAT ORDER and USE THE FIRST ONE FOUND.	 You can query
       what TCTI will be chosen	as the default by using	the -v option to print
       the version information.	 The "default-tcti" key-value pair will	 indi-
       cate which of the aforementioned	TCTIs is the default.

   Custom TCTIs
       Any TCTI	that implements	the dynamic TCTI interface can be loaded.  The
       tools internally	use dlopen(3), and the raw tcti-name value is used for
       the lookup.  Thus, this could be	a path to the shared library, or a li-
       brary name as understood	by dlopen(3) semantics.

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

        device: For the device	TCTI, the TPM character	device file for	use by
	 the device TCTI can be	specified.  The	default	is /dev/tpm0.

	 Example:    -T	  device:/dev/tpm0   or	  export   TPM2TOOLS_TCTI="de-
	 vice:/dev/tpm0"

        mssim:	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.

	 Example: -T mssim:host=localhost,port=2321  or	 export	 TPM2TOOLS_TC-
	 TI="mssim:host=localhost,port=2321"

        abrmd:	 For  the abrmd	TCTI, the configuration	string format is a se-
	 ries of simple	key value pairs	separated by a	`,'  character.	  Each
	 key and value string are separated by a `=' character.

	  TCTI	abrmd supports two keys:

	   1. `bus_name'  :  The  name	of  the	 tabrmd	 service on the	bus (a
	      string).

	   2. `bus_type' : The type of the dbus	instance (a string) limited to
	      `session'	and `system'.

	 Specify the tabrmd tcti name and a config string of  bus_name=com.ex-
	 ample.FooBar:

		\--tcti=tabrmd:bus_name=com.example.FooBar

	 Specify the default (abrmd) tcti and a	config string of bus_type=ses-
	 sion:

		\--tcti:bus_type=session

	 NOTE:	abrmd  and tabrmd are synonymous.  the various known TCTI mod-
	 ules.	# Signature Format Specifiers

       Format selection	for the	signature output file.	tss (the default) will
       output a	binary blob according to the TPM 2.0 specification and any po-
       tential compiler	padding.  The option plain will	output the plain  sig-
       nature data as defined by the used cryptographic	algorithm.

EXAMPLES
   Certify creation data of a primary key.
	      tpm2_createprimary -C o -c prim.ctx --creation-data create.dat \
	      -d create.dig -t create.ticket

	      tpm2_create -G rsa -u rsa.pub -r rsa.priv	-C prim.ctx -c signing_key.ctx

	      tpm2_certifycreation -C signing_key.ctx -c prim.ctx -d create.dig	\
	      -t create.ticket -g sha256 -o sig.nature --attestation attestat.ion -f plain \
	      -s rsassa

Returns
       Tools can return	any of the following codes:

        0 - Success.

        1 - General non-specific error.

        2 - Options handling error.

        3 - Authentication error.

        4 - TCTI related error.

        5 - Non supported scheme.  Applicable to tpm2_testparams.
