tpm2_testparms(1)	     General Commands Manual	       tpm2_testparms(1)

NAME
     tpm2_testparms(1)	-  Verify that specified algorithm suite is supported by
     TPM

SYNOPSIS
     tpm2_testparms [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENT]

DESCRIPTION
     tpm2_testparms(1) - Checks that the suite specified by ALG_SPEC  is  avail-
     able for usage per ALGORITHM.

     Algorithms should follow the "formatting standards", see section "Algorithm
     Specifiers".

     Also,  see section "Supported Signing Schemes" for a list of supported hash
     algorithms.

OPTIONS
     This tool accepts no tool specific options.

   References
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.

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.

Signature Format Specifiers
     Format  selection	for  the  signature output file.  tss (the default) will
     output a binary blob according to the TPM 2.0 specification and any  poten-
     tial  compiler  padding.	The option plain will output the plain signature
     data as defined by the used cryptographic algorithm.

EXAMPLES
   Check whether if "rsa" is supported
	    tpm2_testparms rsa

   Check that ECDSA using P-256 with AES-128 CTR mode is available
	    tpm2_testparms ecc256:ecdsa:aes128ctr

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.
