One Line Summary

In this talk Jarkko Sakkinen & Philip Tricca give overview and status report on current TPM2 software stack development from kernel to user space applications.

Abstract

In this talk Jarkko and Phil give an overview of the current work in the TPM software stack from kernel driver up to event driven application programming. Jarkko will discuss the latest developments in the TPM kernel subsystem including the in-kernel resource manager and event log handling. Phil will cover the status of the open source implementation of the TCG TSS including the user-space resource management daemon and the plumbing required to support event driven application environments. Jarkko and Phil will then discuss efforts to align the in-kernel and user-space resource managers and the use-cases driving various features.
