Bottomley: TPM2 and Linux

James Bottomley looks atTrusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2. "Recently Microsoft startedmandatingTPM2 as a hardware requirement for all platforms running recentversions of windows. This means that eventually all shipping systems(starting with laptops first) will have a TPM2 chip. The reason thisimpacts Linux is that TPM2 is radically different from its predecessorTPM1.2; so different, in fact, that none of the existing TPM1.2 software onLinux (trousers, the libtpm.so plug in for openssl, even my gnome keyringenhancements) will work with TPM2. The purpose of this blog is to explorethe differences and how we can make ready for the transition."(Thanks to Paul Wise)
