NAME

       Tspi_TPM_ClearOwner - clear TPM ownership

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tss/platform.h>
       #include <tss/tcpa_defines.h>
       #include <tss/tcpa_typedef.h>
       #include <tss/tcpa_struct.h>
       #include <tss/tss_typedef.h>
       #include <tss/tss_structs.h>
       #include <tss/tspi.h>

       TSS_RESULT Tspi_TPM_ClearOwner(TSS_HTPM hTPM, TSS_BOOL fForcedClear);

DESCRIPTION

       Tspi_TPM_ClearOwner  wipes  the  TPM  of everything but its endorsement
       key. It will wipe the SRK, so anything locked  to  the  SRK  will  also
       disappear  when  this  command is executed.  This is the only way to be
       certain that keys are gone, as it is the only  way  to  guarantee  that
       nothing  can  keep  a  copy of the key. You must assert either physical
       presence or owner authorization in order to use this command.

PARAMETERS

   hTPM
       The hTPM parameter is used to specify the handle of the TPM object.

   fForcedClear
       The fForcedClear parameter is used to  tell  whether  this  command  is
       being  executed  with owner authorization or with physical presence. If
       FALSE, then TPM owner authorization is used.  If  TRUE,  then  physical
       presence is required to clear the TPM.

RETURN CODES

       Tspi_TPM_ClearOwner  returns  TSS_SUCCESS  on success, otherwise one of
       the following values is returned:

       TSS_E_INVALID_HANDLE
              hTPM is not a valid handle.

       TSS_E_INTERNAL_ERROR
              An internal SW error has been detected.

       Tspi_TPM_ClearOwner conforms to the Trusted  Computing  Group  Software
