tpm2-tss question
by Yasuhiro Hosoda
MY name is Yasuhiro Hosoda.
I am developing a program using TSS1.0(Nov１．2016).
I encountered a problem with PolicySecret error 0x98e and need help.
My program uses tpmtest.cpp as a base of development.
The situation is as follows:
1 Create TPM Keys like this.
EK
｜--------
｜ |
MK AK
｜
SK
2 Execute PolicySecret twice using HMAC session. At first, it ends
without error. Then it ends with 0x98e
For clarification, I print out the values of Virtual Handle and Real Handle.
The value of Virtual/Real Handles differ at 2nd excution of the command.
(See NO 25/26 Below)
I understand that the resource manager assigns Virtual Handle and my
program calculates HMAC using that handles.
On the other hand, TPM may calculate HMAC using Real Handle.
That is my hypothesis.
Any suggestion about the usage of Session Handle?

[ANNOUNCE] Brace yourself: API & ABI incompatible changes in coming!
by Philip Tricca
Hello,
We're getting pretty close to an RC0 for the next major release of the
TSS2 libraries. Before we can make RCo though there are a number of
changes that still need to be made to the header files to bring them
in line with the latest TPM2 and TSS2 specifications. We've just
started rolling these out and during this time, due to the nature of
the changes, we'll be breaking backward compatibility (API and ABI
both).
If you're following along at home you've probably seen changes to the
TCTI headers and implemnetation happening in rapid succession over the
last few days (when our CI isn't down). Expect similar changes to
happen in the rest of the public headers over the course of this week.
These changes will likely cause some issues for downstream projects but
feel free to get on the list and we'll help sort things out.
Regards,
Philip

tpm2-abrmd can't connect to IBM's tpm_server
by Scheie, Peter M
I'm trying to get tpm2-abrmd to connect to the IBM tpm_server simulator, as described in https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tools/wiki/Getting-Started, but it fails saying
Failed to initialize device TCTI context: 0xa000a
I've tried versions 1119 and 974 of tpm_server, but got the same result. For tpm2-abrmd, I'm using version 1.2.0 from the tarball under 'Releases'. Netstat shows tpm_server is listening on ports 2322 and 2321, so I suspect something is wrong on the tpm2-abrmd end.
Suggestions?

Simple (hopefully) git rebase question
by Anderson, Daniel
I am having trouble with git rebase. It seems to be much more complex than it needs to be. All I need to do is to merge commits—no conflicts, no undo.
So I edited the rebase file below and changed the last “pick” to “squash” and moved the previous “pick” down two lines (because I think the commits I am rebasing must be together). Here is the session with the file after editing (changes in bold, deleted lines underlined bold).
Any hints?
Dan

TCTI initialization fails with error 0xc000b
by Anderson, Daniel
I have been getting the same error and cannot start the tpm2-service:
$ sudo systemctl start tpm2-abrmd.service
Job for tpm2-abrmd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status tpm2-abrmd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
$ systemctl status tpm2-abrmd.service
tpm2-abrmd.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FA
Failed to start TPM2 Access Broker and Resource Management Daemon
Unit entered failed state.
Failed with result 'exit-code'.
# Start manually:
$ /usr/local/sbin/tpm2-abrmd&
** (tpm2-abrmd:1596): WARNING **: failed to initialize device TCTI context: 0xa000a
** (tpm2-abrmd:1596): CRITICAL **: TCTI Initializaiton: 0xa000a
$ tpm2_rc_decode 0xa000a
tcti:IO failure
So it seems that this is a known bug:
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd/issues/321
https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-abrmd/pull/330
Is there a workaround? The discussion is too cryptic for me. For example, I can't find a tpm2_listpcrs command in tpm2-tools (or -abrmd or -tss). I am running on Ubuntu Linux with a simulator.
