## Resources

Reference the tutorials at [tpm2-software.github.io](https://tpm2-software.github.io).

TPM 2.0 specifications can be found at [Trusted Computing Group](http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/).

Specifically, the following sections:

### The Library Specification
This specifies the external programatic interface to the TPM:
<https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/tpm-library-specification/>

### The Enhanced System API Specification
This is the *ESAPI* dependency mentioned in [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md). This is the enhanced software API to the tpm. The tpm2-tools
project relies heavily on this. <https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/wp-content/uploads/TSS_ESAPI_Version-0.9_Revision-04_reviewEND030918.pdf>

### The TCTI Specification
This specifies the transmission interfaces or how bytes get from the system api to the tpm.
