Hello,

i am looking for an API which is able to work with TPMs built into any modern motherboard / notebook nowadays.
What i want is to get least an AIK - Key (Certificate) out of it. Of course it would be perfect if i could:

- Innitialize the TPM
- Set the Owner
- Key Management
- Certificate retrival

Is there anything for .NET / C#?

Hi,

thanks for the answer, i was looking at the WMI classes already namely:

root/CIMv2/Security/MicrosoftTpm:Win32_Tpm

Yet this sports only a handfull of information i can retrive, like:

- TPM activated
- TPM enabled
- TPM owned
- Manufacturer ID
- Manufacturer Version
- Manufacturer Version Info
etc...

I am not able to interact with it, only ask some basic questions via WMI. Anyone has an other helpful link which would lead me to the right path on how to command/speak with a TPM?
I am looking for something similar like "Trousers" which is available for Linux systems.
