Hi
I have looked through some source code and have the following questions:
1)
in tools/vtpm/vtpm/tpm/tpm_storage.c
TPM_RESULT TPM_LoadKey2(TPM_KEY_HANDLE parentHandle, TPM_KEY *inKey,
TPM_AUTH *auth1, TPM_KEY_HANDLE *inkeyHandle)
{
info("TPM_LoadKey2() is currently emulated by TPM_LoadKey()");
return TPM_LoadKey(parentHandle, inKey, auth1, inkeyHandle);
}
So TPM_LoadKey2 is actually a wrapper around TPM_LoadKey() with exactly
same parameters. My question is if they are using same parameters why
one fails while the other succeeds?
And why is it necessary to wrap the TPM_LoadKey function with exactly same call? Any pointers would be highly appreciated. 2) in tools/vtpm/vtpm/tpm/tpm_commands.h * Description: ([TPM_Part3], Section 10.5)What is this TPM_Part3 document mentioned here and where can I locate it? Is this the document named "TPM Main Part3 IBM Commands" written by Ken Goldman and you? If that is correct, I have Revision 10 of this document dated 25 April 2005 and that document does not have Section 10.5. Is there a more recent version that I am not aware of? 3) Is this problem specific to TPM hardware (ie only infinion tpm) or xen version? 4) You said you used some tools to trace and alter tss behaviour. What is this tool and how can I obtain it?

I then used some tools that let me control whether to use TPM_LoadKey() or TPM_LoadKey2(). Loading a key with TPM_LoadKey2() failed due to HMAC authorization failing, TPM_LoadKey() worked. From what I saw is that the TSS is using TPM_LoadKey2() and the TPM implementation then states that TPM_LoadKey2() is emulated using TPM_LoadKey(). Well, it seems to be a bug in the TPM_LoadKey2() implementation.> > This reminds me that maybe I am using vtpm wrong way.
