NAME

6       tcti-swtpm - TPM simulator TCTI library
7

SYNOPSIS

9       A TPM Command Transmission Interface (TCTI) module for interaction with
10       the TPM2 software simulator.
11

DESCRIPTION

13       tcti-swtpm is a library that abstracts the details of direct communica‐
14       tion  with the interface and protocol exposed by the daemon hosting the
15       TPM2 reference implementation. The interface exposed by this library is
16       defined  in  the “TSS System Level API and TPM Command Transmission In‐
17       terface Specification” specification.
18

NOTES

20       It is best not to use the CUSE interface when  setting  up  swtpm,  but
21       rather to use the vtpm module proxy:
22       modprobe tpm_vtpm_proxy
23       swtpm chardev --vtpm-proxy --tpmstate dir=... --tpm2 ...
