NAME
tcti-swtpm - TPM simulator TCTI library
SYNOPSIS
A TPM Command Transmission Interface (TCTI) module for interaction with
the TPM2 software simulator.
DESCRIPTION
tcti-swtpm is a library that abstracts the details of direct communica-
tion with the interface and protocol exposed by the daemon hosting the
TPM2 reference implementation. The interface exposed by this library is
defined in the “TSS System Level API and TPM Command Transmission Inter-
face Specification” specification.
NOTES
It is best not to use the CUSE interface when setting up swtpm, but
rather to use the vtpm module proxy:
modprobe tpm_vtpm_proxy
swtpm chardev --vtpm-proxy --tpmstate dir=... --tpm2 ...
