EXAMPLES

Authorize a TPM operation on an object whose authorization is bound to specific 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
