NAME

       tpmtoken_protect - encrypt or decrypt data using a symmetric key stored in the user's TPM PKCS#11 data store

SYNOPSIS

       tpmtoken_protect [ OPTION ]

DESCRIPTION

       tpmtoken_protect will encrypt or decrypt data using a symmetric key that is stored in the user's data store.  The key used to protect the
       data is a 256-bit AES key stored as a private Secret Key PKCS#11 object.  The object has the PKCS#11 label attribute of 'User Data
       Protection Key'.  The key is generated by the TPM PKCS#11 implementation when it is needed the first time.  Since it is generated as a
       private object, it is protected by the TPM on the platform.

       This command requires the '-i' and '-o' command options to be specified.
