NAME

       tpm_createek - create an Endorsement Key Pair on the TPM

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_createek [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_createek creates and Endorsement Key Pair on the TPM (via the TPM_CreateEndorsementKeyPair API).  This should rarely be required as the
       Endorsement Key is normally installed as part of manufacturing.	However, you might need to run this command once if commands such as
       tpm_getpubek are returning error code 35 from the TPM layer.

       -h, --help
	      Display command usage info.

       -v, --version
	      Display command version info.

       -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]
	      Set logging level.

OPTIONS VALID ONLY FOR TPM VERSION 1.2
       -r, --revocable
	      Creates a revocable key pair instead of non-revocable one. Requires secret data (either -g -o or -i - see below).

       -i, --infile [input file]
	      Specifies the file that contains the secret data used as revoke data do the new revocable EK pair. Only the first 20 bytes of this
	      file  are used and the remaining ones are ignored.

       -g, --generate-secret
	      Generates a random 20 bytes value that is used as the EK pair revocable secret data. Requires -o (see below).

       -o, --outfile [output file]
	      Specifies the file to write the generated revocable secret data to, for further use.

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_getpubek [OPTION]

       require owner authorization, in that case the command will prompt for the owner password and request the data. The key information is
       output on a successful call.

	      Display command usage info.

       -v, --version
	      Display command version info.

       -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]

       -z, --well-known
	      Authenticate using 20 bytes of zeros as owner password (the default TSS Well Known Secret), instead of prompting for an owner
	      password.
