Name

tpmtool — GnuTLS TPM tool

Synopsis

tpmtool [ −flag [value] ...] [ −−opt−name [[=|]value] ...]

DESCRIPTION

Program that allows handling cryptographic data from the TPM chip.

OPTIONS

−d number, −−debug=number

Enable debugging. This option takes an integer number as its argument. The value of number is constrained to being:

in the range  0 through 9999

Specifies the debug level.

−−infile=file

Input file.

−−outfile=string

Output file.

−−generate−rsa

Generate an RSA private-public key pair.

Generates an RSA private-public key pair in the TPM chip. The key may be stored in filesystem and protected by a PIN, or stored (registered) in the TPM chip flash.

−−register

Any generated key will be registered in the TPM. This option must appear in combination with the following options: generate-rsa.

−−signing

Any generated key will be a signing key. This option must appear in combination with the following options: generate-rsa. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: legacy.

−−legacy

Any generated key will be a legacy key. This option must appear in combination with the following options: generate-rsa. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: signing.

−−user

Any registered key will be a user key. This option must appear in combination with the following options: register. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: system.

The generated key will be stored in a user specific persistent storage.

−−system

Any registred key will be a system key. This option must appear in combination with the following options: register. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: user.

The generated key will be stored in system persistent storage.

−−pubkey=url

Prints the public key of the provided key.

−−list

Lists all stored keys in the TPM.

−−delete=url

Delete the key identified by the given URL (UUID)..

−−sec−param=security parameter

Specify the security level [low, legacy, normal, high, ultra]..

This is alternative to the bits option. Note however that the values allowed by the TPM chip are quantized and given values may be rounded up.

−−bits=number

Specify the number of bits for key generate. This option takes an integer number as its argument.

−−inder, −−no−inder

Use the DER format for keys.. The no−inder form will disable the option.

The input files will be assumed to be in the portable DER format of TPM. The default format is a custom format used by various TPM tools

−−outder, −−no−outder

Use DER format for output keys. The no−outder form will disable the option.

The output will be in the TPM portable DER format.

−h, −−help

Display usage information and exit.

−!, −−more−help

Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

−v [{v|c|n}], −−version[={v|c|n}]

Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice.

EXAMPLES

To generate a key that is to be stored in filesystem use:

$ tpmtool −−generate−rsa −−bits 2048 −−outfile tpmkey.pem

To generate a key that is to be stored in TPM's flash use:

$ tpmtool −−generate−rsa −−bits 2048 −−register −−user

To get the public key of a TPM key use:

$ tpmtool −−pubkey tpmkey:uuid=58ad734b−bde6−45c7−89d8−756a55ad1891;storage=user           −−outfile pubkey.pem

or if the key is stored in the filesystem:

$ tpmtool −−pubkey tpmkey:file=tmpkey.pem −−outfile pubkey.pem

To list all keys stored in TPM use:

$ tpmtool −−list

EXIT STATUS

One of the following exit values will be returned:

0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)

Successful program execution.

1 (EXIT_FAILURE)

The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.

70 (EX_SOFTWARE)

libopts had an internal operational error. Please report it to autogen-users@lists.sourceforge.net. Thank you.
