One Line Summary

How can we make it easier to seal secrets to TPMs?

Abstract

One of the strengths of TPMs is the ability to seal secrets and keys such that they can’t be used unless the system booted in an appropriate configuration. But without knowing these values in advance, how can we configure systems appropriately? This session will briefly cover the difficulties involved, suggest a couple of solutions and offer an opportunity to discuss how practical they are for integration into distributions.
