Interview with organizers of the BSD certification exam

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:00:00 GMT
The BSD Certification Group, (BSDCG) held its first in-person BSDA certification exam session for systems administrators during SCALE last month in Los Angeles. Subsequent tests were then held held during FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium, and Linux-Tage Chemnitzer in Chemnitz, Germany. During the events, we were able to catch up with several people involved in the testing. Here's what they had to say about the exam development process, the events themselves, and reasons for becoming certified.

Tspi_TPM_SelfTestFull(3)				     Library Functions Manual					  Tspi_TPM_SelfTestFull(3)

						     TCG Software Stack Developer's Reference

NAME

       Tspi_TPM_SelfTestFull - perform a self-test of each internal TPM function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tss/platform.h>
       #include <tss/tcpa_defines.h>
       #include <tss/tcpa_typedef.h>
       #include <tss/tcpa_struct.h>
       #include <tss/tss_typedef.h>
       #include <tss/tss_structs.h>
       #include <tss/tspi.h>

       TSS_RESULT Tspi_TPM_SelfTestFull(TSS_HTPM hTPM);

DESCRIPTION

       Tspi_TPM_SelfTestFull  assures  that  the TPM is functioning as designed. For FIPS certification, crypto modules are required to test them-
       selves before they are used, and this command is used to fulfill that requirement. This command can also be used to check the TPM  whenever
       such a check is desired. This command is not currently implemented.

PARAMETERS

   hTPM
       The hTPM parameter is used to specify the handle of the TPM object on which the self-tests will be run.

RETURN CODES

       Tspi_TPM_GetStatus returns TSS_SUCCESS on success, otherwise one of the following values is returned:

       TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE
	      hTPM is not a valid handle.

       TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR
	      An internal SW error has been detected.

CONFORMING TO

       Tspi_TPM_SelfTestFull conforms to the Trusted Computing Group Software Specification version 1.1 Golden
