+<title>Extending file backend to use a TPM</title>

+<chapter>
+<title>Introduction</title>
+
+<para>The current implementation of file backend uses an encryption key derived from the user's login 
password. Security wise this not an ideal situation. Because, the entire security of the file backend relies 
on the user's login password (single point of failure). This situation can be improved if the keys are 
protected/generated by hardware. A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a such hardware security module found in 
modern computer systems.</para>

(ESAPI)</application></para>

+<para>In order to try out the <application>TPM2 support</application> use the <literal>-Dtpm2=true</literal> 
build option/flag during the <literal>meson _build</literal> process.</para>
+
+<para>You can alter the default build and install process as the following:</para>
+
+<informalexample><programlisting>
+$ meson _build -Dtpm2=true
+$ ninja -C _build
+$ ninja -C _build install
+</programlisting></informalexample>
+
+<para>For testing the TPM2 support you need a physical TPM or a TPM emulator. The following sections 
demonstrate how to setup <ulink url="https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm";>swtpm</ulink> emulator and 
testing out the TPM2 support. If you have access to a TPM you can ignore the emulator section.</para>
+
+<para>swtpm emulator setup:</para>
+
+<informalexample><programlisting>
+$ dnf install swtpm swtpm-tools tpm2-abrmd tpm2-tss-devel
+$ eval `dbus-launch --sh-syntax`
+$ export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.config/swtpm
+$ /usr/share/swtpm/swtpm-create-user-config-files --root
