NAME

       TPMLIB_ValidateState  - Validate the state blobs of the TPM

LIBRARY

       TPM library (libtpms, -ltpms)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libtpms/tpm_library.h>

       uint32_t TPMLIB_ValidateState(TPMLIB_StateType st,
                                     unsigned int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The TPMLIB_ValidateState() function allows a user to validate the state blobs that the TPM
       would read upon TPMLIB_MainInit() or once the TPM_Startup command has been sent to it.

       This function is useful for TPM state migration between possibly different version of
       libtpms. Here the target libtpms needs to be able to determine whether it can support the
       version of blobs that were migrated and if this is not the case, the caller can refuse the
       migration.

       The tpmlib_state parameter can be a logical 'or' of one or multiple of of the following:
       TPMLIB_STATE_PERMANENT, TPMLIB_STATE_VOLATILE, or TPMLIB_STATE_SAVE_STATE.  The flags
       parameter is currently not used and should be set to 0.

       The first state blob that should be loaded is the permanent state, since for example the
       volatile state requires it to be available for validation.

       This function should be called before TPMLIB_MainInit() is invoked.
