TCTI-SOCKET(7)

✨ tcti-socket ✨

aka TCTI-SOCKET(7) — from the Miscellaneous Information Manual section, bestie. Yes we're in the weird-and-wonderful part of the manual, and yes it slays. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

tcti-socket — the TPM simulator TCTI library. That's the whole name. Short. Iconic. Periodt. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so picture this: it's a TPM Command Transmission Interface (TCTI) module, and its entire job is interaction with the Microsoft TPM2 simulator. That's it. That's the vibe. 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so tcti-socket is a library that abstracts the details of direct communication with the interface and protocol exposed by the daemon hosting the TPM2 reference implementation. Basically all the messy "who talks to whom and in what order" stuff? Handled. You just vibe. 😌

The interface that this library exposes is defined in the “TSS System Level API and TPM Command Transmission Interface Specification” specification — no cap, that's literally where it lives. 📜✨
