|  Matrix Traveler (bot) joined the room. | 12:24:04 |
 @grahamc:nixos.org | * I wonder if the openconnect client key can require your PCRs to match specific values to allow a connection | 12:24:11 |
 andi- | Off-topic: Do we now have all the bots on the matrix universe? :D | 12:24:22 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | I would not be surprised if that were true, the TPM2 book talks about it a lot :D | 12:24:22 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | haha | 12:24:33 |
| andi- | It is nice that we have a well documented user of all of the TPM infrastructure. | 12:41:49 |
|  hexa joined the room. | 12:41:58 |
| andi- | I now wish that I could use the TPM for wireguard key derivation. | 12:41:58 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | is that openconnect? | 12:42:04 |
| andi- | Yeah | 12:42:10 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | :) | 12:42:14 |
|  spacesbot - keeps a log of public NixOS channels | 13:00:04 |
| andi- | So yesterday I was able to wipe my state without th ecorrect password IIRC. All I did was call tpm2_clear. | 13:16:47 |
| andi- | How do you protect against that? | 13:17:04 |
| andi- | IIRC I did set two passwords when I first setup secrets. | 13:17:24 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | interesting | 13:21:19 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | not sure you can actually | 13:21:38 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | maybe you can | 13:21:44 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | but I'm thinking about how the bios can wipe it too | 13:24:08 |
| andi- | That would mean that I must lock the tpm device away and only let root / a special user interact with it. | 13:24:25 |
| andi- | I read some text that said that there are some hardware keys to adjust it | 13:24:38 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | you sort of need to do that anyway | 13:25:12 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | because the nvram isn't partitioned or anything, it has no fs, you just have offsets in to the memory you write to | 13:25:35 |
| andi- | So you need to coordinate offsets across all your tools? e.g. OpenConnect and my kerberos daemon must each know where they can write? | 13:26:50 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | mostly tools dont' need to write to the nvram I think | 13:27:15 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | like, I think the nvram is for "I don't have a filesystem yet!" stuff, plus perhaps password attempt counters | 13:27:35 |
| andi- | I'll have to read a few more things on this... | 13:28:31 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | me too :P | 13:34:29 |
| @grahamc:nixos.org | https://developers.tpm.dev/posts/15575774 got confirmation on my question about the private half not being sensitive | 13:40:53 |
| andi- | Interesting. What do you do with primary.ctx? Store somewhere? Destroy as you don't intend to ever change it? | 13:43:06 |
