tpm_createek(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual tpm_createek(8)

TPM Management - tpm_createek

tpm_createek - create an Endorsement Key Pair on the TPM

tpm_createek [OPTION]

tpm_createek creates and Endorsement Key Pair on the TPM (via the TPM_CreateEndorsementKeyPair API). This should rarely be required as the Endorsement Key is normally installed as part of manufacturing. However, you might need to run this command once if commands such as tpm_getpubek are returning error code 35 from the TPM layer.
