tpm2_createpolicy(1)	    General Commands Manual	  tpm2_createpolicy(1)

NAME
       tpm2_createpolicy(1)  - Creates simple assertion	authorization policies
       based on	multiple PCR indices values across multiple enabled banks.

SYNOPSIS
       tpm2_createpolicy [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm2_createpolicy(1) - Creates simple assertion authorization  policies
       based on	multiple PCR indices values across multiple enabled banks.  It
       can then	be used	with object creation and or tools using	the object.

OPTIONS
       These options control creating the policy authorization session:

        -L, --policy=FILE:

	 The file to save the policy digest.

        --policy-pcr:

	 Identifies the	PCR policy type	for policy creation.

        -g, --policy-algorithm=ALGORITHM:

	 The hash algorithm used in computation	of the policy digest.

        -l, --pcr-list=PCR:

	 The list of PCR banks and selected PCRs' ids for each bank.

        -f, --pcr=FILE:

	 Optional  Path	or Name	of the file containing expected	PCR values for
	 the specified index.  Default is to read the current PCRs per the set
	 list.

        --policy-session:

	 Start	a  policy  session  of	type   TPM_SE_POLICY.	 Defaults   to
	 TPM_SE_TRIAL if this option isn't specified.

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

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.

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.

EXAMPLES
   Create a authorization policy tied to a specific PCR	index
	      tpm2_createpolicy	\--policy-pcr -l 0x4:0 -L policy.file -f pcr0.bin

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.
