NAME

       tpm_restrictpubek - restrict the ability to display the public portion
       of the Endorsement Key to the owner


SYNOPSIS

       tpm_restrictpubek [OPTION]


DESCRIPTION

       tpm_restrictpubek reports the status of who can display the public
       portion of the Endorsement Key.  This is the default behavior and also
       available with the --status option.  This operation will be in effect
       until the owner is cleared and prompts for the owner passord. With the
       --restrict option, the ability to display the public portion of the
       Endorsement Key is resticted to the owner (via the TPM_DisablePubekRead
       API).  The command prompts for the owner password to complete the
       operation.   The --status and --restrict options are mutually exclusive
       and the last one on the command line will be carried out.

       -u, --unicode

       -s, --status
              Display the status of who can see the public portion of the
              Endorsement Key

       -r, --restrict
              Restrict seeing the public portion of the Endorsement Key to the
              owner

       -z, --well-known
              Authenticate using 20 bytes of zeros as owner password (the
              default TSS Well Known Secret), instead of prompting for an
              owner password.
