configure: Remove check for C++ compiler.

This should have been removed when all cpp files were converted to c.

Build Status

WARNING: Resource Manager Deprecated

The current resource manager implementation in $(srcdir)/resourcemgr/resourcemgr.c should be considered a prototype only. It is not suitable for regular use as it has numerous threading issues and likely other latent bugs that can't be quantified without significant investment of time and resources. As such we've decided to write a new implementation as a proper daemon using D-Bus and more modern development practices. Patches fixing issues with the existing resource manager are welcome but this code will be removed as soon as the replacement is ready.

Overview

This repository hosts source code implementing the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) TPM2 Software Stack (TSS) This stack consists of the following layers from top to bottom:

  • System API (SAPI) as described in the system level API and TPM command transmission interface specification. This API is a 1-to-1 mapping of the TPM2 commands documented in Part 3 of the TPM2 specification. Additionally there are asynchronous versions of each command. These asynchronous variants may be useful for integration into event-driven programming environments. Both the synchronous and asynchronous API are exposed through a single library: libsapi.
  • TPM Command Transmission Interface (TCTI) that is described in the same specification. This API provides a standard interface to transmit / receive TPM command / response buffers. It is expected that any number of libraries implementing the TCTI API will be implemented as a way to abstract various platform specific IPC mechanisms. Currently this repository provides two TCTI implementations: libtcti-device and libtcti-socket. The prior should be used for direct access to the TPM through the Linux kernel driver. The later implements the protocol exposed by the Microsoft software TPM2 simulator.
  • TPM Access Broker/Resource Manager (TAB/RM) as described in the draft TAB & RM specification. This layer sits between the system API library code and the TPM. It is a daemon that handles all multi-process coordination and manages the TPM's internal resources transparently to applications.

The test application, tpmclient, tests many of the commands against the TPM 2.0 simulator. The tpmclient application can be altered and used as a sandbox to test and develop any TPM 2.0 command sequences, and provides an excellent development and learning vehicle.

Build and Installation Instructions:

Instructions to build and install TPM2.0-TSS are available in the INSTALL file.

Test Suite

This repository contains a test suite intended to exercise the TCTI and SAPI code. This test suite is not intended to test a TPM implementation and so this test suite should only be run against a TPM simulator. If this test suite is executed against a TPM other than the software simulator it may cause damage to the TPM (NV storage wear out etc). You have been warned.

Simulator

The TPM library specification contains reference code sufficient to construct a software TPM 2.0 simulator. This code was provided by Microsoft and they provide a binary download for Windows here. IBM has repackaged this code with a few Makefiles so that the Microsoft code can be built and run on Linux systems. The Linux version of the Microsoft TPM 2.0 simulator can be obtained here. Once you've downloaded and successfully built and execute the simulator it will, by default, be accepting connections on the localhost, port 2321.

Issues building or running the simulator should be reported to the IBM software TPM2 project.

NOTE: The Intel TCG TSS is currently tested against the 532 version of the simulator. Compatibility with later versions has not yet been tested.

Resource Manager

The current test suite implemented in the tpmclient program requires that the resource manager (resourcemgr) be running. This is due to the test suite requiring session resources beyond those available in the TPM2 simulator. The resource manager is thus required to "virtualize" the session resources. For the resource manager to connect to the simulator the -sim option must be supplied as an option when executing it:

$ resourcemgr/resourcemgr -sim

Test Suite

The test suite is implemented in the tpmclient program. This is a monolithic C program that exercises various TCTI and SAPI API calls. Once the test environment is set up (simulator and resource manager are built and running), the tpmclient program can be executed:

$ test/tpmclient/tpmclient

The tpmclient program will run either until completion, or until an error occurs. Please report failures in a Github 'issue' with a full log of the test run. Thus must include output from the resourcemgr as well as the tpmclient program. This output must include full debug messages which requires that the libraries and binaries be built with debug flags enabled. See INSTALL for instructions to build with debug flags enabled.

Test Suite Decomposition

We are currently working to decompose the existing monolithic tpmclient program into individual test programs that can be integrated into an automated test harness. This approach has a number of advantages including the ability to run individual tests in isolation as well as reduced overhead, maintenance and automation.
