 /*
  * Copyright (C) 2018 James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com
  *
+ * Cryptographic helper routines for handling TPM2 sessions for
+ * authorization HMAC and request response encryption.
+ *
+ * The idea is to ensure that every TPM command is HMAC protected by a
+ * session, meaning in-flight tampering would be detected and in
+ * addition all sensitive inputs and responses should be encrypted.
+ *
+ * The basic way this works is to use a TPM feature called salted
+ * sessions where a random secret used in session construction is
+ * encrypted to the public part of a known TPM key.  The problem is we
+ * have no known keys, so initially a primary Elliptic Curve key is
+ * derived from the NULL seed (we use EC because most TPMs generate
+ * these keys much faster than RSA ones).  The curve used is NIST_P256
+ * because that's now mandated to be present in 'TCG TPM v2.0
+ * Provisioning Guidance'
+ *
+ * Threat problems: the initial TPM2_CreatePrimary is not (and cannot
+ * be) session protected, so a clever Man in the Middle could return a
+ * public key they control to this command and from there intercept
+ * and decode all subsequent session based transactions.  The kernel
+ * cannot mitigate this threat but, after boot, userspace can get
+ * proof this has not happened by asking the TPM to certify the NULL
+ * key.  This certification would chain back to the TPM Endorsement
+ * Certificate and prove the NULL seed primary had not been tampered
+ * with and thus all sessions must have been cryptographically secure.
+ * To assist with this, the initial NULL seed public key name is made
+ * available in a sysfs file.
+ *
+ * Use of these functions:
+ *
+ * The design is all the crypto, hash and hmac gunk is confined in this
+ * file and never needs to be seen even by the kernel internal user.  To
+ * the user there's an init function tpm2_sessions_init() that needs to
+ * be called once per TPM which generates the NULL seed primary key.
+ *
+ * These are the usage functions:
+ *
+ * tpm2_start_auth_session() which allocates the opaque auth structure
+ *	and gets a session from the TPM.  This must be called before
+ *	any of the following functions.  The session is protected by a
+ *	session_key which is derived from a random salt value
+ *	encrypted to the NULL seed.
+ * tpm2_end_auth_session() kills the session and frees the resources.
+ *	Under normal operation this function is done by
+ *	tpm_buf_check_hmac_response(), so this is only to be used on
+ *	error legs where the latter is not executed.
