NAME         top

       systemd-tpm2-setup.service, systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service,
       systemd-tpm2-setup - Set up the TPM2 Storage Root Key (SRK) at
       boot

SYNOPSIS         top

       systemd-tpm2-setup.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-tpm2-setup

DESCRIPTION         top

       systemd-tpm2-setup.service and systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service
       are services that generate the Storage Root Key (SRK) if it
       hasn't been generated yet, and stores it in the TPM.

       The services will store the public key of the SRK key pair in a
       PEM file in /run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.pem and
       /var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.pem. They will also store it
       in TPM2B_PUBLIC format in
       /run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.tpm2_public and
       /var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.tpm2b_public.

       systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service runs very early at boot
       (possibly in the initrd), and writes the SRK public key to
       /run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.*  (as /var/ is generally not
       accessible this early yet), while systemd-tpm2-setup.service runs
       during a later boot phase and saves the public key to
       /var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.*.

       /run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.pem,
       /run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.tpm2b_public
           The SRK public key in PEM and TPM2B_PUBLIC format, written
           during early boot.

           Added in version 255.

       /var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.pem,
       /var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.tpm2_public
           The SRK public key in PEM and TPM2B_PUBLIC format, written
           during later boot (once /var/ is available).

           Added in version 255.
