Hi Jarkko,

just out of curiosity; when testing this, how did you calculate the blobauth parameter ?
Since its calculation requires the cpHash for the unseal()-command...
If you "predict" the cpHash in userSpace, this would mean that userspace needs to know the
kernels way of constructing the unseal()-command to the TPM, which in turn would make
this part of the ABI and require documentation before upstreaming, imho.

Cheers,
