This class by Bill Roberts (a core maintainer in the tpm2-software organization), provides a comprehensive introduction to Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 programming using the Python-based tpm2-pytss library. Designed for developers, security engineers, and researchers, the course covers both foundational TPM 2.0 concepts and practical hands-on development techniques for interacting with TPM hardware and simulators.

Students will learn the architecture and security goals of TPM 2.0, the structure of TPM objects, and how to work with cryptographic keys, non-volatile storage, platform configuration registers (PCRs), and authorization policies. Through the use of the tpm2-pytss library, participants will develop Python applications that interface with the TPM to perform tasks such as key provisioning, sealing and unsealing secrets, attestation, and policy-based access control.

Like all current #OST2 classes, the core content is made fully public, and you only need to register if you want to post to the discussion board or track your class progress. Based on beta testing this class takes a median of 13 hours to complete.
