tpm_createek Command

Purpose

Creates an endorsement key pair on the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

Syntax

tpm_createek [ -h ] [ -l [ none | error | info | debug ] ] [ -v ]

Description

The tpm_createek command creates an endorsement key pair on the TPM (through the TPM_CreateEndorsementKeyPair API). The endorsement key pair is not often required because it is normally installed as a part of manufacturing. However, you might need to run this command if commands such as tpm_getpubek are returning error code from the TPM layer.
