Hi, James,

The PCR7 value and PCR7 policy is as below, please review, thanks.

# tpm2_pcrlist -L sha256:7 -o pcr7_2.sha256
sha256:
7 : 0x061AAD0705A62361AD18E58B65D3D7383F4D10F7F5A7E78924BE057AC6797408

# tpm2_createpolicy --policy-pcr --pcr-list sha256:7 --policy pcr7_bin.policy > pcr7.policy
321fbd28b60fcc23017d501b133bd5dbf2889814588e8a23510fe10105cb2cc9

# cat pcr7.policy

I don't use the Intel TSS, so I can't help you with this command: you need to ask someone who does use it it, like Phil.

You haven't provided enough information. If you tell me what the pcr7 value you tied the policy to is, I can run it through the IBM TSS policy maker and tell you if this is the correct hash. But obviously, since it's a hash, I can't reverse it to tell you what the policy it mandates is.
