The reason for this specific tool is that it works without access to the Endorsement Key's private key. Typically tools require either a self-signed certificate request or access to the private key to issue a certificate. This tool works with only the public key part. .PP The following options are supported: .IP "\fB\-\-type {ek|platform}\fR" 4 .IX Item "--type {ek|platform}" The type of certificate to create; by default an EK certificate is created. .IP "\fB\-\-pubkey " 4 .IX Item "--pubkey " The public key (EK) in PEM format. .IP "\fB\-\-modulus " 4 .IX Item "--modulus " The modulus of the public key as a string of hex digits. This option can be used in place of the \-\-pubkey option. .IP "\fB\-\-ecc\-x " 4 .IX Item "--ecc-x " The elliptic curve parameter x as string of hex digits. .IP "\fB\-\-ecc\-y " 4 .IX Item "--ecc-y " The elliptic curve parameter y as string of hex digits. .IP "\fB\-\-ecc\-curveid " 4 .IX Item "--ecc-curveid " The elliptic curve's id. secp256r1, secp384r1, and secp521r1 are supported. If this option is not given, secp256r1 is assumed. .IP "\fB\-\-exponent " 4 .IX Item "--exponent " The exponent of the public key. By default 0x10001 is assumed. .IP "\fB\-\-signkey " 4 .IX Item "--signkey " The key used for signing the certificate. The file must be in PEM format. .IP "\fB\-\-signkey\-password " 4 .IX Item "--signkey-password " Optional password for the signing key. .IP "\fB\-\-signkey\-pwd " 4 .IX Item "--signkey-pwd " This is an alternative option for passing the signing key password. The following formats are supported for \fIpwd\fR: .Sp .Vb 5 \& \- : direct password \& \- pass: : direct password \& \- file: : password in file \& \- fd: : read password from file descriptor \& \- env: : read password from env. variable .Ve .Sp All passwords read from files and file descriptors must be a maximum of 255 bytes (plus one byte for terminating NUL byte). .IP "\fB\-\-parentkey\-password " 4 .IX Item "--parentkey-password " Optional password for a parent key. In case a TPM key is used for signing this would be the password for the TPM's storage root key (SRK). .IP "\fB\-\-parentkey\-pwd " 4 .IX Item "--parentkey-pwd " This is an alternative option for passing the parentkey password. See the description above for supported \fIpwd\fR formats. .IP "\fB\-\-issuercert " 4 .IX Item "--issuercert " The X.509 certificate of this signer that takes on the role of a local CA. .IP "\fB\-\-out\-cert " 4 .IX Item "--out-cert " The name of the file to write the X.509v3 certificate into. The output will be in PEM format. .IP "\fB\-\-serial " 4 .IX Item "--serial " Optional 32bit serial number for the certificate. .IP "\fB\-\-days " 4 .IX Item "--days " The number of days the certificate is valid; by default it is valid for 365 days. .IP \fB\-\-pem\fR 4 .IX Item "--pem" Write the resulting certificate in PEM format; DER format is the default. .IP "\fB\-\-tpm\-manufacturer " 4 .IX Item "--tpm-manufacturer " The name of the TPM manufacturer. .IP "\fB\-\-tpm\-model " 4 .IX Item "--tpm-model " The TPM model (part number). .IP "\fB\-\-tpm\-version " 4 .IX Item "--tpm-version " The TPM's firmware version. .IP "\fB\-\-platform\-manufacturer " 4 .IX Item "--platform-manufacturer " The name of the platform manufacturer. .IP "\fB\-\-platform\-model " 4 .IX Item "--platform-model " The platform model. .IP "\fB\-\-platform\-version " 4 .IX Item "--platform-version " The platform's version. .IP "\fB\-\-subject " 4 .IX Item "--subject " Subject to for example provide the location of the TPM in the format of C=,ST=,L=. Note that the location must no contain any spaces. .IP \fB\-\-tpm2\fR 4 .IX Item "--tpm2" Issue TPM 2 compliant certificates. .IP \fB\-\-allow\-signing\fR 4 .IX Item "--allow-signing" Create an EK that can also be used for signing. Without this option, the EK can only be used for key encipherment. This option requires \-\-tpm2. .IP \fB\-\-decryption\fR 4 .IX Item "--decryption" If \-\-allow\-signing is passed and the EK should also be useable for key encipherment, this option must be passed. Otherwise key encipherment is the default. This option requires \-\-tpm2. .IP "\fB\-\-print\-capabilities\fR (since v0.3)" 4 .IX Item "--print-capabilities (since v0.3)" Print capabilities that were added to swtpm_cert after version 0.2. The output may contain the following: .Sp .Vb 8 \& { \& "type": "swtpm_cert", \& "features": [ \& "cmdarg\-signkey\-pwd", \& "cmdarg\-parentkey\-pwd" \& ], \& "version": "0.7.0" \& } .Ve .Sp The version field is available since 0.7. .Sp The maining of the feature verbs is as follows: .RS 4 .IP \fBcmdarg-signkey-pwd\fR 4 .IX Item "cmdarg-signkey-pwd" The \fI\-\-signkey\-pwd\fR option is supported. .IP \fBcmdarg-parentkey-pwd\fR 4 .IX Item "cmdarg-parentkey-pwd" The \fI\-\-parentkey\-pwd\fR option is supported. .RE .RS 4 .RE .IP "\fB\-\-help, \-h\fR" 4 .IX Item "--help, -h" Display the help screen .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" .SH "REPORTING BUGS" .IX Header "REPORTING BUGS" Report bugs to Stefan Berger
