Resources for the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 Library Spec
Trusted Computing Group’s TPM 2.0 Library Specification, recently adopted as an ISO/IEC 11889:2015 standard (http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/tpm-2-0-library-specification-approved-isoiec-international-standard/), is a new way to implement TPM and the root of trust.
The TPM typically provides provides integrity measurements, health checks and authentication services. Many other features and attributes are enabled; a complete list is available here .
TCG members are often asked about how to use the TPM and available support and software resources.
“A Practical Guide to TPM 2.0 - Using the Trusted Platform Module in the New Age of Security” was authored by TCG members and is available free online or at modest cost in print at http://www.springer.com/us/book/9781430265832.
A reference book intended to help explain TPMs: “Trusted Computing Platforms - TPM2.0 in Context” by TPM experts is also available at http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783319087436.
A number of software resources, many open source and free, exist to support the TPM. These include:
–https://sourceforge.net/projects/ibmswtpm2/
–https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/tpm2/
–https://github.com/vbendeb/tpm2_server
