tpm2_encryptdecrypt(1)	     General Commands Manual	  tpm2_encryptdecrypt(1)

NAME
     tpm2_encryptdecrypt(1) - Performs symmetric encryption or decryption.

SYNOPSIS
     tpm2_encryptdecrypt [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENT]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm2_encryptdecrypt(1) - Performs symmetric encryption or decryption with a
     specified symmetric key on the contents of FILE.  If FILE is not specified,
     defaults to stdin.

OPTIONS
     * -c, --key-context=OBJECT:

       The encryption key object.

     * -p, --auth=AUTH:

       The authorization value for the encryption key object.

     * -d, --decrypt:

       Perform	a decrypt operation.  Defaults to encryption when this option is
       not specified.

     * -e, --pad:

       Enable pkcs7 padding for applicable  AES  encryption  modes  cfb/cbc/ecb.
       Applicable  only to encryption and for input data with last block shorter
       than encryption block length.

     * -o, --output=FILE or STDOUT:

       The output file path for either the encrypted or decrypted data.  If  not
       specified, defaults to stdout.

     * -G, --mode=ALGORITHM:

       The  key algorithm associated with this object.	Defaults to object prop-
       erties or CFB if not defined.

     * -t, --iv=FILE:

       Optional initialization vector to use.  Defaults to 0's.   Syntax  allows
       for an input file and output file source to be specified.  The input file
       path is first, optionally followed by a colon ":" and the output iv path.
       This output iv can be saved for subsequent calls when chaining.

     * --cphash=FILE

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

     * ARGUMENT the command line argument specifies the input file path FILE  of
       the data to encrypt or decrypt.

Context Object Format
     The  type	of a context object, whether it is a handle or file name, is de-
     termined 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 specified".

   Passwords
     Passwords are interpreted in the following forms below using prefix identi-
     fiers.

     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 authorization.

   Examples
	    foobar
	    str:foobar

   Hex-string
     A	hex-string password, specified by prefix "hex:" is converted from a hex-
     idecimal 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  fea-
     tures.

   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  ses-
     sion  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 Pass-
     words 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 my-
     password.

	    session:session.ctx+mypassword

     To use a session context file called session.ctx AND send the HEX authvalue
     0x11223344.

	    session:session.ctx+hex:11223344

   PCR Authorizations
     You can satisfy a PCR policy using the "pcr:" prefix and the  PCR	minilan-
     guage.  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  specifier
     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 com-
     plex.   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 ob-
     jects, non-specified portions of an object are assumed  to  defaults.   You
     can find the list of known "Simple Specifiers" below.

   Complex Specifiers
     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: <type>:<scheme>:<symmetric-details>

   Type Specifiers
     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.

     * 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 signing
     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 algorithm,
     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  fol-
     lowed  by	a  dash(-) and a valid hash algorithm.	* ecdaa For example, ec-
     daa4-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 cre-
     ated and it's attributes.	Generally, any valid  Symmetric  specifier  from
     the  Type Specifiers list should work.  If not specified, an asymmetric ob-
     jects 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
     /tpm2_create  -C  parent.ctx -G ecc256:ecdaa4-sha384 -u key.pub -r key.priv
     cryptographic algorithms ALGORITHM.

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

     * -h, --help=[man|no-man]: Display the tools manpage.  By default,  it  at-
       tempts to invoke the manpager for the tool, however, on failure will out-
       put  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 speci-
       fied, or the manpager fails, the short options will be output to stdout.

       To  successfully use the manpages feature requires the manpages to be in-
       stalled 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  con-
       sole during its execution.  When using this option the file and line num-
       ber 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.   Defin-
       ing  the  environment TPM2TOOLS_ENABLE_ERRATA is equivalent.  information
       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 variable.

     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 simulator.

     * 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 connec-
       tion.  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-con-
     fig> results in the default being used for that portion respectively.

   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 indicate 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  library
     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="device:/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_TCTI="mssim:host=localhost,port=2321"

     * abrmd: For the abrmd TCTI, the configuration string format is a series 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.exam-
       ple.FooBar:

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

       Specify the default (abrmd) tcti and a config string of bus_type=session:

	      \--tcti:bus_type=session

       NOTE: abrmd and tabrmd are synonymous.  the various known TCTI modules.

EXAMPLES
Create an AES key
	    tpm2_createprimary -c primary.ctx
	    tpm2_create -C primary.ctx -Gaes128 -u key.pub -r key.priv
	    tpm2_load -C primary.ctx -u key.pub -r key.priv -c key.ctx

	    tpm2_encryptdecrypt -d -c key.ctx -o secret.dec secret.enc
	    cat secret.dec
	    my secret

     * 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.
