Re: [tboot-devel] does tboot must know TPM srk and owner password

2012-10-16 Thread Ning Qu
Oh, for s3, that totally makes sense. I was trying to raise the security bar by setting both password for owner and srk. However, without giving out owner password, the srk password doesn't matter so much. Thanks a lot! Best wishes, -- Ning Qu On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 7:02 PM, Wei, Gang

Hi, Thanks for all the info, guys!! So Joseph, you mentioned 2.6.35+ required. Is that because of any changes in tboot recently? Since Charles thinks 2.6.20+ should be fine Just want to be sure before diving into it again :) Best wishes, -- Ning Qu On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 8:15 AM, Cihula
