NOT true. TPM_ECC_CURVE_448 exists in the TCG algorithm registry. Table 5.1 in this same specifications enumerates ECC curves supported by TPM firmware (or in the spec TCG “TPM 2.0 Library”) interface.

Sometimes features can even land through firmware updates. especially for fTPM’s in Intel, ARM (via SMC AMD CPU’s this is feasible approach.

I’ve been also started to lobby the idea of getting P256K1 to the registry based on principle of equally feasible playing field for established corporations and growth companies of variable side (aka startups):

1. Corporates need to have their NIST curves.
2. There’s a critical mass of blockchain associated startups, in varying levels. So to have working capitalism also “Bitcoin curve” should be there.

I’m going to also write P256K1 software primitives to Linux kernel to enable more secure options for managing that sort of assets.

I do it part of my role as Linux kernel key-ring co-maintainer. My job is to identity widely use key types, enable them and call it a day, i.e. create equal capitalist market place for every actor.

I would enable P256K1 even if I hated blockchains by guts because it is my freaking job :-) Liking and disliking about stuff is part of leisure time (or when getting drunk which is part of leisure time ;-)).

Still my #TUI file manager of choice after all these years.

I’ve been editing the history while ramping up this starting point but I will stop this chaotic workflow now and commit to this baseline :-) So no worries if sending pull requests…

This is also CI capable environment assuming that runner has:

• QEMU
• swtpm

The GIF-animation shows the proof that it actually also works.

Actually not yet too successful booting my #BuildRoot image with systemd-boot. With grub-efi I got to the login.

EDIT: I think I got it and it is pretty obvious. I’m still deploying GRUB style configs when I construct the disk image with genimage, so I just fix them up as systemd boot style configs (found a reference for that).

So I just follow along [1] and cross my fingers ;-) I think it is good exercise to build from scratch a systemd image from boot to user space in all cases.

Fully works!! Screenshot taken from my MacBook Pro ;-) QEMU running on my PC workstation:

I was able to create #systemd image with #BuildRoot.

However, it boots into emergency mode. Any tips or ideas?

My end product is 2GB img file that can be booted either with real hardware or in QEMU (it has #UEFI layout).

@stevelord yep

I wish it had been titled "Swaptraction Layer" :-/ Article was interesting tho.

looks like it is working now:

a conference committee wanted to know my telegram nick so...

... Finland making to the EBU finals ;-)

gym week #3

I don't usually put my own pics to social media but here's one that I randomly found from my girlfriends daughters 12th birthday (about year ago). I also take kids birthdays like a pro :-------)

EDIT: i do put a lot of pics of cool hardware tho...

The killa feature, GPU rendered GUI:

I think this is the most time-standing IT book that I own. It was published in 1999 and I still check it from time to time.

E.g. when collaborating with hpa on arch/x86/realmode, this book was my main reference in addition to ELF specification.

It is also as prose very nice reading with cool stories embedded!
