NAME
tpm2_createprimary - Create a primary key under a primary seed or a temporary primary key under the TPM_RH_NULL hierarchy.
SYNOPSIS
tpm2_createprimary [COMMON OPTIONS] [TCTI OPTIONS] [-A|--auth=][o|p|e|n] [-P|--pwdp=][string] [-K|--pwdk=][string] [-g|--halg=][0x4|0xB|0xC|0xD|0x12] [-G|--kalg=][0x1|0x8|0x23|0x25] [-C|--context=][filepath] [-X|--passwdInHex [-d|--debugLevel=][0|1|2|3]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to create a Primary Object under one of the Primary Seeds or a Temporary Object under TPM_RH_NULL. The command uses a TPM2B_PUBLIC as a template for the object to be created. The command will create and load a Primary Object. The sensitive area is not returned.
OPTIONS
-A, --auth=[o|p|e|n] Specify the hierarchy under which the object is created. This will also dictate which authorization secret (if any) must be supplied. Supported options are: 'o' for TPM_RH_OWNER 'p' for TPM_RH_PLATFORM 'e' for TPM_RH_ENDORSEMENT 'n' for TPM_RH_NULL -P, --pwdp=[string] Optional authorization string if authorization is required to create object under the specified hierarchy. -K, --pwdk=[string] Optional authorization string for the newly created object. -g, --halg=[0x4|0xB|0xC|0xD|0x12] Hash algorithm used in the computation of the object name. Supported options are: '0x4' for TPM_ALG_SHA1 '0xB' for TPM_ALG_SHA256 '0xC' for TPM_ALG_SHA384 '0xD' for TPM_ALG_SHA256 '0x12' for TPM_ALG_SM3_256 NOTE: Your TPM may not support all algorithms. -G, --kalg=[0x1|0x8|0x23|0x25] Algorithm type for generated key. Supported options are: '0x1' for TPM_ALG_RSA '0x8' for TPM_ALG_KEYEDHASH '0x23' for TPM_ALG_ECC '0x25' for TPM_ALG_SYMCIPHER -C, --context=[filepath] An optional file used to store the object context returned. -X, --passwdInHex A flag used to indicate that the supplied passwords are hex strings. -d, --debugLevel=[0|1|2|3] Control the verbosity of debug output from the tool. Supported values are: '0' is the default '1' displays test app send / receive byte streams '2' displays resource manager send / receive byte streams '3' displays the resource manager tables [COMMON OPTIONS ] This collection of options are common to many programs and provide information that many users may expect. -h, --help Display a manual describing the tool and its usage. -v, --version Display version information for this tool. -V, --verbose Increase the information that the tool prints to the console during its execution. [TCTI OPTIONS ] This collection of options are used to configure the varous TCTI modules available. -T, --tcti Select the TCTI used for communication with the next component down the TSS stack. In most configurations this will be the TPM but it could be a simulator or proxy. Supported TCTIs are or “device” or “socket” . -d, --device-file Specify the TPM device file for use by the device TCTI. The default is /dev/tpm0. -R, --socket-address Specify the domain name or IP address used by the socket TCTI. The default is 127.0.0.1. -p, --socket-port Specify the port number used by the socket TCTI. The default is 2321.
ENVIRONMENT
ENVIRONMENT: TCTI This collection of environment variables that may be used to configure the varous TCTI modules available. The values passed through these variables can be overridden on a per-command basis using the available command line options. TPM2TOOLS_TCTI_NAME Select the TCTI used for communication with the next component down the TSS stack. In most configurations this will be the TPM but it could be a simulator or proxy. See 'OPTIONS' section for the names of supported TCTIs. TPM2TOOLS_DEVICE_FILE Specify the TPM device file for use by the device TCTI. TPM2TOOLS_SOCKET_ADDRESS Specify the domain name or IP address used by the socket TCTI. TPM2TOOLS_SOCKET_PORT Specify the port number used by the socket TCTI.
