Hi, Mimi, Answer your two questions: 1. Yes, I have verified trusted key works well without PCR policy protection as below: $ keyctl add trusted kmk "new 32 keyhandle=0x81000001" @u 1055240928 $ keyctl list @u 1 keys in keyring: 1055240928: --alswrv 0 0 trusted: kmk $ keyctl pipe 1055240928 > kmk.blob $ cat kmk.blob 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 $ keyctl clear @u $ keyctl list @u keyring is empty $ keyctl add trusted kmk "load `cat kmk.blob` keyhandle=0x81000001" @u 1022963731 $ keyctl print 1022963731 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 2.

How to use the option, policydigest, policyhandle?? Is there any example? > 2. What's wrong with my test step? When reporting a problem please state which kernel is experiencing this problem. Recently there was a trusted key regression. Refer to commit e13cd21ffd50 "tpm: Wrap the buffer from the caller to tpm_buf in tpm_send()" for the details. Before delving into this particular problem, first please make sure you are able to create, save, remove, and then reload a trusted key not sealed to a PCR. Mimi
