# Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates(3)

Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates

## NAME

Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates - Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates

## SYNOPSIS

### Functions

TSS2\_RC **Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates** (**FAPI\_CONTEXT** \*context, uint8\_t \*\*certificates, size\_t \*certificatesSize)\
 TSS2\_RC **Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates\_Async** (**FAPI\_CONTEXT** \*context)\
 TSS2\_RC **Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates\_Finish** (**FAPI\_CONTEXT** \*context, uint8\_t \*\*certificates, size\_t \*certificatesSize)\

## Detailed Description

FAPI functions to invoke GetPlatformCertificates either as one-call or in an asynchronous manner.

## Function Documentation

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, uint8\_t \*\* certificates, size\_t \* certificatesSize)

One-Call function for Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates

Platform certificates for TPM 2.0 can consist not only of a single certificate but a series of so-called delta certificates. This function returns the set of Platform certificates concatenated in a continuous buffer.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *certificates* The platform certificates \
 *certificatesSize* The size of the buffer with the certificates. May be NULL

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context or certificates is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_SEQUENCE* if the context has an asynchronous operation already pending. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_IO\_ERROR* if the data cannot be saved. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_MEMORY* if the FAPI cannot allocate enough memory for internal operations or return parameters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_TPM* if FAPI was initialized in no-TPM-mode via its config file. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_CERT* if an error did occur during certificate downloading. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_TRY\_AGAIN* if an I/O operation is not finished yet and this function needs to be called again. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_UNKNOWN* if a required authorization callback is not set. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_FAILED* if the authorization attempt fails. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_GENERAL\_FAILURE* if an internal error occurred. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_POLICY\_UNKNOWN* if policy search for a certain policy digest was not successful. \
 *TSS2\_ESYS\_RC\_\** possible error codes of ESAPI. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NOT\_PROVISIONED* FAPI was not provisioned. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_KEY\_NOT\_FOUND* if a key was not found. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if the path is used in inappropriate context or contains illegal characters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_VALUE* if an invalid value was passed into the function. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_PATH\_NOT\_FOUND* if a FAPI object path was not found during authorization.

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates\_Async (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context)

Asynchronous function for Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates

Platform certificates for TPM 2.0 can consist not only of a single certificate but a series of so-called delta certificates. This function returns the set of Platform certificates concatenated in a continuous buffer.

Call Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates\_Finish to finish the execution of this command.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT**

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_SEQUENCE* if the context has an asynchronous operation already pending. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_IO\_ERROR* if the data cannot be saved. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_MEMORY* if the FAPI cannot allocate enough memory for internal operations or return parameters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_TPM* if FAPI was initialized in no-TPM-mode via its config file.

### TSS2\_RC Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates\_Finish (FAPI\_CONTEXT \* context, uint8\_t \*\* certificates, size\_t \* certificatesSize)

Asynchronous finish function for Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates

This function should be called after a previous Fapi\_GetPlatformCertificates\_Async.

**Parameters**

*context* The **FAPI\_CONTEXT** \
 *certificates* The platform certificates \
 *certificatesSize* The size of the buffer with the certificates. May be NULL

**Return values**

*TSS2\_RC\_SUCCESS* if the function call was a success. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_REFERENCE* if context or certificates is NULL. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_CONTEXT* if context corruption is detected. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_SEQUENCE* if the context has an asynchronous operation already pending. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_IO\_ERROR* if the data cannot be saved. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_MEMORY* if the FAPI cannot allocate enough memory for internal operations or return parameters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_TRY\_AGAIN* if the asynchronous operation is not yet complete. Call this function again later. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NO\_CERT* if an error did occur during certificate downloading. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_UNKNOWN* if a required authorization callback is not set. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_AUTHORIZATION\_FAILED* if the authorization attempt fails. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_GENERAL\_FAILURE* if an internal error occurred. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_POLICY\_UNKNOWN* if policy search for a certain policy digest was not successful. \
 *TSS2\_ESYS\_RC\_\** possible error codes of ESAPI. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_NOT\_PROVISIONED* FAPI was not provisioned. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_KEY\_NOT\_FOUND* if a key was not found. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_PATH* if the path is used in inappropriate context or contains illegal characters. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_BAD\_VALUE* if an invalid value was passed into the function. \
 *TSS2\_FAPI\_RC\_PATH\_NOT\_FOUND* if a FAPI object path was not found during authorization.
