NAME
     tpm2_ticket(1)  -	Enables  policy authorization by verifying a ticket that
     represents a validated authorization that had an expiration time associated
     with it.

SYNOPSIS
     tpm2_ticket [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm2_ticket(1) - Enables policy authorization by verifying  a  ticket  that
     represents a validated authorization that had an expiration time associated
     with it.

OPTIONS
     * -L, --policy=FILE:

       File to save the compounded policy digest.

     * -S, --session=FILE:

       The policy session file generated via the -S option to tpm2_startauthses-
       sion(1).

     * -n, --name=FILE:

       Name of the object that validated the authorization.

     * --ticket=FILE:

       The ticket file to record the authorization ticket structure.

     * --timeout=FILE:

       The file path to record the timeout structure returned.

     * -q, --qualification=FILE_OR_HEX_STR:

       Optional, the policy qualifier data that the signer can choose to include
       in the signature.  Can be either a hex string or path.

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
     Authorize a TPM operation on an object whose authorization is bound to spe-
     cific signing authority.

   Create the signing authority and load the verification key
	    openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048

	    openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem

	    tpm2_loadexternal -C o -G rsa -u public.pem -c signing_key.ctx \
	    -n signing_key.name

   Generate signature with the expiry time
	    EXPIRYTIME="FFFFFE0C"

	    echo $EXPIRYTIME | xxd -r -p | \
	    openssl dgst -sha256 -sign private.pem -out signature.dat

   Create the policy
	    tpm2_startauthsession -S session.ctx

	    tpm2_policysigned -S session.ctx -g sha256 -s signature.dat -f rsassa \
	    -c signing_key.ctx -L policy.signed

	    tpm2_flushcontext session.ctx

   Create a sealing object
	    tpm2_createprimary -C o -c prim.ctx -Q

	    echo "plaintext" > secret.dat

	    tpm2_create -u sealing_key.pub -r sealing_key.priv -c sealing_key.ctx \
	    -C prim.ctx -i secret.dat -L policy.signed -Q

   Create ticket-able policy
	    tpm2_startauthsession -S session.ctx --nonce-tpm=nonce.test --policy-session

	    { cat nonce.test & echo $EXPIRYTIME | xxd -r -p; } | \
	    openssl dgst -sha256 -sign private.pem -out signature.dat

	    tpm2_policysigned -S session.ctx -g sha256 -s signature.dat -f rsassa \
	    -c signing_key.ctx -x nonce.test --ticket tic.ket --timeout time.out \
	    -t 0xFFFFFE0C

	    tpm2_flushcontext session.ctx

     ##Test with policyticket instead of policysigned

	    tpm2_startauthsession -S session.ctx --policy-session

	    tpm2_policyticket -S session.ctx -n signing_key.name --ticket tic.ket \
	    --timeout time.out

	    tpm2_unseal -p session:session.ctx -c sealing_key.ctx

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.

Limitations
     It expects a session to be already established via tpm2_startauthsession(1)
     and requires one of the following:

     * direct device access

     * extended session support with tpm2-abrmd.

     Without it, most resource managers will not save session state between com-
     mand invocations.
