💖 STARTAUTHSESSION 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for startauthsession, which lives in section 1 (User Commands) of the manual. grab a strawberry drink, we're doing TPM2 things 🍓✨

✨ NAME ✨

startauthsession — Runs TPM2_StartAuthSession

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ngl, the very first thing this page tells you is a little chaotic, so let's just say it exactly how it says it:

  • --version-string=v1045 is not a valid option

noted. moving on. 💅

🦋 startauthsession

Runs TPM2_StartAuthSession

[-halg (sha1, sha256, sha384) (default sha256)] -se
  • h — HMAC session

and then, nested under that vibe:

  • [-hs salt handle (default TPM_RH_NULL)]
  • [-bi bind handle (default TPM_RH_NULL)]
  • [-pwdb bind password (default empty)]
  • p — Policy session
  • t — Trial policy session
  • [-sym (xor, aes) symmetric parameter encryption algorithm (default xor)]
  • [-on nonceTPM file for policy session (default do not save)]

🫶 and now… the same thing again

not me about to type the exact same block twice 😭 but that's literally what the page does, so here we are, no cap:

  • --version is not a valid option
