We have a need in the TPM2 trusted keys to return the ASN.1 form of the TPM key blob so it can be operated on by tools outside of the kernel. The specific tools are the openssl_tpm2_engine, openconnect and the Intel tpm2-tss-engine. To do that, we have to be able to read and write the same binary key format the tools use. The current ASN.1 decoder does fine for reading, but we need pieces of an ASN.1 encoder to write the key blob in binary compatible form. For backwards compatibility, the trusted key reader code will still accept the two TPM2B quantities that it uses today, but the writer will only output the ASN.1 form. The current implementation only encodes the ASN.1 bits we actually need.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
