NAME
tpm_nvwrite SYNOPSIS
tpm_nvwrite [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
tpm_nvwrite writes data to an NVRAM area. The user must provide the index of the NVRAM area as well as the data to write into the NVRAM area. Optionally an offset into the NVRAM area can be given where the writing of the data is to start. Similarly the use may provide the number of bytes to write into the NVRAM area. Some NVRAM areas only allow write sizes of zero, i.e., NVRAM area index 0. 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 (optional parameter) 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 write to the NVRAM area. This parameter may be used to truncating the data that are for example read from a file. 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 where to start writing. The parameter may either be a decimal number or a hexadecimal number starting with '0x'. -f, --filename (optional parameter) The name of a file from which to read data and copy them into the NVRAM area. -d, --data (optional parameter) The data to write into the NVRAM area passed in the command line. -m, --fill-value (optional parameter) The byte to fill the NVRAM area with.

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 SEE ALSO tpm_version(1), tpm_takeownership(8), tcsd(8) REPORTING BUGS
