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
       object.	It requires that the parent key	object be a RSA	key.  Can also
       import 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".  Al-
	 so, see section "Supported Hash Algorithms" for a list	 of  supported
	 hash algorithms.

        -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 in-
	 vokes 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 assumes the algorithm is AES 128 in CFB mode otherwise none.

        -r, --private=FILE:

	 Specifies  the	 file path required to save the	encrypted private por-
	 tion of the object imported as	key.

	 When importing	a duplicated object this  option  specifies  the  file
	 containing  the private portion of the	object to be imported.	# Pro-
	 tection Details

       Objects that can	move outside of	TPM need to  be	 protected  (confiden-
       tiality	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 par-
       ent object, using the parent'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
       different, 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
	 containing 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
	 object.

        -s, --seed=FILE:

	 Specifies  the	 file  containing the encrypted	seed of	the duplicated
	 object.

	 In order to perform an	"unencrypted import" a seed file with the con-
	 tent 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
	 mirrors 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 com-
	 monly termed as cpHash.  NOTE:	When this option is selected, The tool
	 will not actually execute the command,	it simply returns a cpHash.

   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 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
       /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  re-
       moving  the  prefix TPMA_OBJECT_	and lowercasing	the result.  Thus, TP-
       MA_OBJECT_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 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
   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.
