Detailed Description

represents the front-end of TPM

The TPM (Trusted Platform Module) stores the private portion of a user's cryptography keys. The format and location of stored information is indicated by the TpmLocator. The TPM is designed to work with a PIB (Public Information Base) which stores public keys and related information such as certificate.

The TPM also provides functionalities of crypto transformation, such as signing and decryption.

A TPM consists of a unified front-end interface and a back-end implementation. The front-end cache the handles of private keys which is provided by the back-end implementation.

Note

Tpm instance is created and managed only by v2::KeyChain. v2::KeyChain::getTpm() returns a const reference to the managed Tpm instance, through which it is possible to check existence of private keys, get public keys for the private keys, sign, and decrypt the supplied buffers using managed private keys.

Exceptions

BackEnd::Error	Failure with the underlying implementation having non-semantic errors
Tpm::Error	Failure with semantic error in the underlying implementation

Member Function Documentation

ConstBufferPtr ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::decrypt	(	const uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	size,
		const Name &	keyName
	)		const

Decrypt blob using the key with name keyName.

Returns

The decrypted data, or nullptr if the key does not exist.

Definition at line 101 of file tpm.cpp.

ConstBufferPtr ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::getPublicKey

(

const Name &

keyName

)

const

Returns

The public portion of an asymmetric key with name keyName, or nullptr if the key does not exist,

The public key is in PKCS#8 format.

const

Definition at line 40 of file tpm.cpp.

bool ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::hasKey

(

const Name &

keyName

)

const

Check if a private key exists.

Parameters

keyName

The key name

Returns

true if the key exists

Definition at line 46 of file tpm.cpp.

bool ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::isTerminalMode

(

)

const

Check if the TPM is in terminal mode.

Definition at line 112 of file tpm.cpp.

bool ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::isTpmLocked

(

)

const

Returns

true if the TPM is locked, otherwise false.

Definition at line 124 of file tpm.cpp.

void ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::setTerminalMode

(

bool

isTerminal

)

const

Set the terminal mode of the TPM.

When in terminal mode, the TPM will not ask user permission from GUI.

Definition at line 118 of file tpm.cpp.

ConstBufferPtr ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::sign	(	const uint8_t *	buf,
		size_t	size,
		const Name &	keyName,
		DigestAlgorithm	digestAlgorithm
	)		const

Sign blob using the key with name keyName and using the digest digestAlgorithm.

Returns

The signature, or nullptr if the key does not exist.

Definition at line 90 of file tpm.cpp.

bool ndn::security::tpm::Tpm::unlockTpm	(	const char *	password,
		size_t	passwordLength
	)		const

Unlock the TPM.

Parameters

password	The password to unlock the TPM.
passwordLength	The password size.
