tpm2_hmac(1)		    General Commands Manual		  tpm2_hmac(1)

NAME
       tpm2_hmac(1) - Performs an HMAC operation with the TPM.

SYNOPSIS
       tpm2_hmac [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENT]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm2_hmac(1)  - Performs	an HMAC	operation and returns the results.  If
       argument	file is	not specified, then data is read from stdin.

       The hashing algorithm defaults to the keys scheme or sha256 if the  key
       has a NULL scheme.

       Output  defaults	to STDOUT and binary format unless otherwise specified
       via -o and -hex options respectively.

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

	 The context object of the symmetric signing key  providing  the  HMAC
	 key.	Either a file or a handle number.  See section "Context	Object
	 Format".

        -p, --auth=AUTH:

	 Optional authorization	value to use the key specified by -c.

        -g, --hash-algorithm=ALGORITHM:

	 The hash algorithm to use.  Algorithms	should follow the  "formatting
	 standards",  see  section  "Algorithm Specifiers".  Also, see section
	 "Supported Hash Algorithms" for a list	of supported hash algorithms.

        --hex

	 Convert the output hmac to hex	format without a leading "0x".

        -o, --output=FILE:

	 Optional file record of the HMAC result.  Defaults to STDOUT.

        -t, --ticket=FILE:

	 Optional file record of the ticket result.

        --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.

        ARGUMENT the command line argument specifies the file	path  for  the
	 data to HMAC.	Defaults to STDIN if not specified.

   References
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.

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.

EXAMPLES
   Setup
	      #	create a primary object
	      tpm2_createprimary -c primary.ctx

	      #	create an hmac key
	      tpm2_create -C primary.ctx -G hmac -c hmac.key

   Perform an HMAC with	Default	Hash Algorithm
       Perform	an  hmac  using	 the key's default scheme (hash	algorithm) and
       output to stdout	in hexidecimal format.

	      tpm2_hmac	-c hmac.key --hex data.in
	      e6eda48a53a9ddbb92f788f6d98e0372d63a408afb11aca43f522a2475a32805

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.
