Firmware TPM Driver
|
||||
=============================================
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes the firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM)
|
||||
device driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
This driver is a shim for firmware implemented in ARM's TrustZone
|
||||
environment. The driver allows programs to interact with the TPM in the same
|
||||
way they would interact with a hardware TPM.
|
||||
|
||||
Design
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
The driver acts as a thin layer that passes commands to and from a TPM
|
||||
implemented in firmware. The driver itself doesn't contain much logic and is
|
||||
used more like a dumb pipe between firmware and kernel/userspace.
|
||||
|
||||
The firmware itself is based on the following paper:
|
||||
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ftpm1.pdf
|
||||
|
||||
When the driver is loaded it will expose ``/dev/tpmX`` character devices to
|
||||
userspace which will enable userspace to communicate with the firmware TPM
|
||||
through this device.
