Package Information

Descriptionssh-agent for TPMs (program)

SSH agent for TPM

ssh-tpm-agent is a ssh-agent compatible agent that allows keys to be created by the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for authentication towards ssh servers.

TPM sealed keys are private keys created inside the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and sealed in .tpm suffixed files. They are bound to the hardware they are produced on and can't be transferred to other machines.

This allows you to utilize a native client instead of having to side load existing PKCS11 libraries into the ssh-agent and/or ssh client.

The project uses TPM 2.0 Key Files (https://www.hansenpartnership.com/draft-bottomley-tpm2-keys.html) implemented through the go-tpm-keyfiles (https://github.com/Foxboron/go-tpm- keyfiles) project.

Features

* A working ssh-agent. * Create shielded ssh keys on the TPM. * Creation of remotely wrapped SSH keys for import. * PIN support, dictionary attack protection from the TPM allows you to use low entropy PINs instead of passphrases. * TPM session encryption. * Proxy support towards other ssh-agent servers for fallbacks.

This package contains the command-line tools.
