[openssl-users] openssl-1.1.0b : Getting keys from TPM

To read a public key, use the TPM2_ReadPublic command.  I have an open 
source utility (tpm2pem) that converts that TPM format key to PEM.

If you need the private key, you will have to "duplicate" it to a key 
you know and then use that key to decrypt it.  It's possible.  However, 
it defeats the purpose of using the TPM as a hardware key store.  It 
would be better to use the TPM to do the private key operations.

For a TSS, I offer this, which has an ever expanding set of utilities 
and sample programs.  Let me know what you need for sample code.

I also suggest debugging with a SW TPM.

The tpm2pem utility currently comes with the attestation client and server:
