Tpm software stack is tss.net?

i referring tpm management overview page msft: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730635.aspx information regarding tpm software stack in windows.

from here, see tpm service components in windows consists of following potential layers:

- tpm driver

- tpm base service (tbs)

- tpm wmi (tpm windows management interface)

- tpm management snap-in + wizard.

now looking @ "a practical guide tpm2.0" book has coverage on tpm1.2 also:

in book lists out following high level layers api tpm software stack (which assume referring tss.net being same tpm software stack:

- fapi (feature api)

-eapi (enhanced api)

-sapi (system api)

-tcti

-tab

-resource manager

-local tpm driver

now there add'l information regarding both tbs , tss.net:

- there application use tbs (tpm base services) , application use microsoft tss.net supplies tpm simulator. states tss.net not compliant tcg.

but says in p77, tss  tcg compliant software standard , app-s written tss should work in system implments compliant tss.

so can confusing:

here questions:

- tss.net not seem tss (tpm software stack). here link tss.net:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/35116857-e544-4003-8e7b-584182dc6833/default.aspx

am right?

- looks wmi uses tbs. tbs compliant tss (tcg)? is, windows tpm service components can mapped tss software stack above?

- testing tpm through tpm.msc , considering auomate tests. if automate using wmi tpm, these command line equivalent of  tpm.msc management console? answer yes, tpm.msc appear use wmi based on:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730635.aspx. if of commands in tpm.msc passes , issues tpm command through other mechanism, worth knowing.

thanks.,

hi,

based on research, tss.net can connected tpm simulator enable application development , debugging on platforms not have tpm 2.0 device. connection simulator on tcp/ip socket simulator may running on remote machine or in process on same machine.
