tpm2_makecredential(1)	    General Commands Manual	tpm2_makecredential(1)

NAME
       tpm2_makecredential(1)  -  Generate  the	encrypted-user-chosen-data and
       the wrapped-secret-data-encryption-key for the  privacy-sensitive  cre-
       dentialing process of a TPM object.

SYNOPSIS
       tpm2_makecredential [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       tpm2_makecredential(1) -	The TPM	supports a privacy preserving protocol
       for distributing	credentials for	keys on	a TPM.	The process guarantees
       that  the  credentialed-TPM-object(AIK)	is loaded on the same TPM as a
       well-known public-key-object(EK)	without	knowledge of the specific pub-
       lic properties of the  credentialed-TPM-object(AIK).   The  privacy  is
       guaranteed  due to the fact that	only the name of the credentialed-TPM-
       object(AIK) is shared and not the credentialed-TPM-object's public  key
       itself.

       Make-credential	is  the	 first step in this process where in after re-
       ceiving the public-key-object(EK) public	key of the TPM and the name of
       the credentialed-TPM-object(AIK), an encrypted-user-chosen-data is gen-
       erated and the secret-data-encryption-key is generated and wrapped  us-
       ing  cryptographic  processes  specific	to  credential activation that
       guarantees that the credentialed-TPM-object(AIK)	is loaded on  the  TPM
       with the	well-known public-key-object(EK).

       tpm2_makecredential  can	be used	to generate the	encrypted-user-chosen-
       data and	the wrapped secret-data-encryption-key without a TPM by	 using
       the none	TCTI option.

OPTIONS
        -e, --encryption-key=FILE:

	 DEPRECATED, use -u or -public instead.

        -u, --public=FILE:

	 A  TPM	public key which was used to wrap the seed.  NOTE: This	option
	 is same as -e and is added to make it similar with other tools	speci-
	 fying the public key.	The old	option is retained for backwards  com-
	 patibility.

        -G, --key-algorithm=ALGORITHM:

	 The  key  algorithm  associated  with TPM public key.	Specify	either
	 RSA/ ECC.  When this option is	used, input public key is expected  to
	 be  in	PEM format and the default TCG EK template is used for the key
	 properties.

        -s, --secret=FILE or STDIN:

	 The secret which will be protected by the key derived from the	random
	 seed.	It can be specified as a file or passed	from stdin.

        -n, --name=FILE:

	 The name of the key for which certificate is to be created.

        -o, --credential-blob=FILE:

	 The output file path, recording  the  encrypted-user-chosen-data  and
	 the wrapped secret-data-encryption-key.

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.

EXAMPLES

	      tpm2 createak -C 0x81010009 -c ak.ctx -G rsa -g sha256 -s	rsassa -u ak.pub \
	      -n ak.name -p akpass> ak.out

	      file_size=`ls -l ak.name | awk {'print $5'}`
	      loaded_key_name=`cat ak.name | xxd -p -c $file_size`
