Description

KVM supports emulated TPM2 hardware and the version in Bullseye gains the ability to encrypt its secrets [0]. tpm2-pk11 [1] is a program that allows protecting OpenSSH and firefox private keys using the TPM. If the package finds a new upstream maintainer we can test it in Debian stable-next with the virtual TPM hardware.

Debian maintainers will move to tpm2-pkcs11 [3]

[0] KVM virtual TPM aka the "Universal Smartcard"

EDIT:

The above package depends on gnupg-pkcs11-scd which is available in Debian.

https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/gnupg-pkcs11-scd


only works for TPM 1.2


Opened a RFP for this package which fulfills this ticket in case someone upstream picks it up. https://bugs.debian.org/941951


The upstream TPM2 project is looking at consolidating the multiple code projects out there into an upstream implementation superseding the projects above.
