tpm2_import(1)		     General Commands Manual		  tpm2_import(1)

NAME
     tpm2_import(1)  - Imports an external key into the tpm as a TPM managed key
     object.

SYNOPSIS
     tpm2_import [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm2_import(1) - Imports an external generated key as TPM managed	key  ob-
     ject.   It  requires that the parent key object be a RSA key.  Can also im-
     port a TPM managed key object created by the tpm2_duplicate tool.

OPTIONS
     These options control the key importation process:

     * -G, --key-algorithm=ALGORITHM:

       The algorithm used by the key to be imported.  Supports:

       * aes - AES 128, 192 or 256 key.

       * rsa - RSA 1024 or 2048 key.

       * ecc - ECC NIST P192, P224, P256, P384 or P521 public and private key.

       * hmac - HMAC key.

     * -g, --hash-algorithm=ALGORITHM:

       The hash algorithm for generating the objects name.  This is optional and
       defaults to sha256 when not  specified.	 Algorithms  should  follow  the
       "formatting  standards",  see  section "Algorithm Specifiers".  Also, see
       section "Supported Hash Algorithms" for a list of  supported  hash  algo-
       rithms.

     * -i, --input=FILE:

       Specifies  the  filename  of  the key to be imported.  For AES keys, this
       file is the raw key bytes.  For assymetric keys in PEM or DER format.   A
       typical file is generated with openssl genrsa.

     * -C, --parent-context=OBJECT:

       The parent key object.

     * -U, --parent-public=FILE:

       Optional.   Specifies the parent key public data file input.  This can be
       read with tpm2_readpublic(1) tool.  If not specified, the tool invokes  a
       tpm2_readpublic on the parent object.

     * -k, --encryption-key=FILE:

       Optional.  Specifies the file containing the symmetric algorithm key that
       was  used  for  the inner wrapper.  If the file is specified the tool as-
       sumes the algorithm is AES 128 in CFB mode otherwise none.

     * -r, --private=FILE:

       Specifies the file path required to save the encrypted private portion of
       the object imported as key.

       When importing a duplicated object this option specifies  the  file  con-
       taining	the  private portion of the object to be imported.  # Protection
       Details

     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 -r 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 par-
     ent's symmetric encryption details to encrypt the sensitive data  and  HMAC
     it.

     In-depth details can be found in sections 23 of:

     * https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TPM-
       Rev-2.0-Part-1-Architecture-01.38.pdf

     Notably  Figure 20, is relevant, even though it's specifically referring to
     duplication blobs, the process is identical.

     If the output is from tpm2_duplicate(1), the output will be  slightly  dif-
     ferent, as described fully in section 23.

     * -u, --public=FILE:

       Specifies the file path required to save the public portion of the object
       imported as key

       When  importing	a  duplicated object this option specifies the file con-
       taining the public portion of the object to be imported.

     * -a, --attributes=ATTRIBUTES:

       The object attributes, optional.

     * -P, --parent-auth=AUTH:

       The authorization value for using the parent key specified with -C.

     * -p, --key-auth=AUTH:

       The authorization value for the imported key, optional.

     * -L, --policy=POLICY or HEX_STRING:

       The policy file or policy hex string used for authorization  to	the  ob-
       ject.

     * -s, --seed=FILE:

       Specifies  the  file  containing the encrypted seed of the duplicated ob-
       ject.

       In order to perform an "unencrypted import" a seed file with the  content
       0x0000 needs to be provided (e.g. printf "0000" | xxd -r -p >seed.file).

     * --passin=OSSL_PEM_FILE_PASSWORD

       An optional password for an Open SSL (OSSL) provided input file.  It mir-
       rors  the  -passin option of OSSL and is known to support the pass, file,
       env, fd and plain password formats of openssl.  (see man(1) openssl)  for
       more.

     * --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.

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.

Object Attributes
     Object  Attributes  are  used  to control various properties of created ob-
     jects.  When specified as an option, either the raw bitfield mask or "nice-
     names" may be used.  The values can be found in Table  31	Part  2  of  the
     TPM2.0 specification, which can be found here:

     <https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TPM-
     Rev-2.0-Part-2-Structures-01.38.pdf>

     Nice names are calculated by taking the name field of table 31 and removing
     the  prefix  TPMA_OBJECT_	and  lowercasing  the  result.	 Thus,	TPMA_OB-
     JECT_FIXEDTPM becomes fixedtpm.  Nice names can be joined using the bitwise
     or "|" symbol.

     For instance, to set The fields TPMA_OBJECT_FIXEDTPM, TPMA_OBJECT_NODA, and
     TPMA_OBJECT_SIGN_ENCRYPT, the argument would be:

     fixedtpm|noda|sign specifying the object attributes ATTRIBUTES.

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
   To import a key, one needs to have a parent key
	    tpm2_createprimary -Grsa2048:aes128cfb -C o -c parent.ctx

     Create your key and and import it.  If you already have  a  key,  just  use
     that and skip creating it.

   Import an AES 128 key
	    dd if=/dev/urandom of=sym.key bs=1 count=16

	    tpm2_import -C parent.ctx -G aes -i sym.key -u key.pub -r key.priv

   Import an RSA key
	    openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048

	    tpm2_import -C parent.ctx -G rsa -i private.pem -u key.pub -r key.priv

   Import an ECC key
	    openssl ecparam -name prime256v1 -genkey -noout -out private.ecc.pem

	    tpm2_import -C parent.ctx -G ecc -i private.ecc.pem -u key.pub -r key.priv

   Import a duplicated key
	    tpm2_import -C parent.ctx -i key.dup -u key.pub -r key.priv -L policy.dat

LIMITATIONS
     * The TPM requires that the name algorithm of the child be smaller than the
       parent.

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.
