NAME

       tpm_nvread

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_nvread [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_nvread reads data from an NVRAM area and either displays them or writes them into a file. The user must provide the index of the NVRAM
       area. If the user provided the number of bytes to read then this will be the maximum number of bytes that will be read from the NVRAM area,
       otherwise the whole NVRAM area will be read. Some NVRAM areas only allow read sizes of zero, i.e., NVRAM area with index 0. Optionally an
       offset into the NVRAM area can be given where the reading of the data is to start. If the NVRAM area has permission bits set that require
       owner or NVRAM area authentication, then the password must be provided via the password option.

       The following options are supported:

       -h, --help
	   Display command usage info.

       -v, --version
	   Display command version info.

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

       -u, --unicode
	   Use TSS UNICODE encoding for passwords to comply with applications using TSS popup boxes

       -z, --well-known
	   Use a secret of all zeros (20 bytes of zeros) as either the NVRAM area or owner secret.

       -p, --password
	   Depending on what type of authentication is required for the NVRAM area, this must either be the NVRAM area or owner password.

	   A password may be directly provided for example by using '--password=password' or '-ppassword'. If no password is provided then the
	   program will prompt the user for the password.

       -i, --index
	   The index of the NVRAM area.  The parameter may either be a decimal number or a hexadecimal number starting with '0x'.

       -s, --size
	   The number of bytes to read from the NVRAM area.  The parameter may either be a decimal number or a hexadecimal number starting with
	   '0x'.

       -n, --offset (optional parameter)
	   The offset into the NVRAM area from where to start reading.	The parameter may either be a decimal number or a hexadecimal number
	   starting with '0x'.

       -f, --filename (optional parameter)
	   The name of a file the read data will be written into. If no filename is given the data will be printed to stdout.

NAME

       tpm_changeownerauth - change the authorization data associated with the owner or SRK

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_changeownerauth [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_changeownerauth allows for changing the authorization data for the TPM owner or the TPM's Storage Root Key (via the TPM_ChangeAuthOwner
       API).  This operation prompts for current password, followed by the new password and a confirmation of the new password. The --owner option
       changes the TPM owner password and --srk option changes the TPM's SRK password. The --well-known option is used when SRK or owner passwords
       need to be changed and current owner password is a secret of zeros, --set-well-known option changes current password to a secret of zeros,
       both options do not work by themselves, they must be used with --owner and --srk options to indicate which of these passwords will be
       changed.

       -h, --help
	      Display command usage info.

       -v, --version
	      Display command version info.

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

       -u, --unicode
	      Use TSS UNICODE encoding for passwords to comply with applications using TSS popup boxes

       -o, --owner
	      Change the authorization data for the TPM owner.

       -s, --srk
	      Change the authorization data for the TPM's Storage Root Key.

       -g, --original_password_unicode
	      Use TSS UNICODE encoding for original password to comply with applications using TSS popup boxes

       -n, --new_password_unicode
	      Use TSS UNICODE encoding for new password to comply with applications using TSS popup boxes

       -z, --well-known
	      Change password to a new one when current owner password is a secret of all zeros (20 bytes of zeros). It must be specified which
	      password (owner, SRK or both) to change

       -r, --set-well-known
	      Change password to a secret of all zeros (20 bytes of zeros). It must be specified which password (owner, SRK or both) to change
