The driver allows programs to interact with the TPM in the same +way the would interact with a hardware TPM. + +Design +====== + +The driver acts as a thin layer that passes commands to and from a TPM +implemented in firmware. The driver itself doesn't contain much logic and is +used more like a dumb pipe between firmware and kernel/userspace. + +The firmware itself is based on the following paper: +https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/ftpm1.pdf + +When the driver is loaded it will expose ``/dev/tpmX`` character devices to +userspace which will enable userspace to communicate with the firmware tpm +through this device.
