vTPM testing

One can use a virtual TPM (vTPM) to run testing without affecting a physical device and risking to brick a system with an invalid manipulation of the TPM2 device.

Start the vTPM simulator

Get the simulator from git:

$ sudo apt install git snapcraft
$ git clone git@github.com:liuqun/tpm2-ibmswtpm.git
$ snapcraft

Run prime/tpm_server or install the generator snap and run tpm20softwaresimulator from the snap.

$ ./tpm_server 
TPM command server listening on port 2321
Platform server listening on port 2322

Start a resource manager using the simulator

$ sudo /usr/sbin/tpm2-abrmd --allow-root --tcti=mssim --logger=stdout
[...]

And you'll see Client accepted in the output for the tpm2 simulator, or some similar message.

Run commands

$ tpm2_pcrlist
