@andi:kack.itandi-It is nice that we have a well documented user of all of the TPM infrastructure.12:41:49
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa joined the room.12:41:58
@andi:kack.itandi-I now wish that I could use the TPM for wireguard key derivation.12:41:58
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgis that openconnect?12:42:04
@andi:kack.itandi-Yeah12:42:10
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.org:)12:42:14
@spacesbot:nixos.devspacesbot - keeps a log of public NixOS channels 13:00:04
@andi:kack.itandi- 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:kack.itandi-How do you protect against that?13:17:04
@andi:kack.itandi-IIRC I did set two passwords when I first setup secrets.13:17:24
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orginteresting13:21:19
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgnot sure you can actually13:21:38
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgmaybe you can13:21:44
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgbut I'm thinking about how the bios can wipe it too13:24:08
@andi:kack.itandi-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:kack.itandi-I read some text that said that there are some hardware keys to adjust it13:24:38
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgyou sort of need to do that anyway13:25:12
@grahamc:nixos.org@grahamc:nixos.orgbecause the nvram isn't partitioned or anything, it has no fs, you just have offsets in to the memory you write to13:25:35
@andi:kack.itandi-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
