    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-tpm2-setup.service</filename> and
    <filename>systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service</filename> are services that generate the Storage Root Key
    (SRK) if it hasn't been generated yet, and stores it in the TPM.</para>

    <para>The services will store the public key of the SRK key pair in a PEM file in
    <filename>/run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.pem</filename> and
    <filename>/var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.pem</filename>. They will also store it in TPM2B_PUBLIC
    format in <filename>/run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.tpm2_public</filename> and
    <filename>/var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.tpm2b_public</filename>.</para>

    <para><filename>systemd-tpm2-setup-early.service</filename> runs very early at boot (possibly in the
    initrd), and writes the SRK public key to <filename>/run/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.*</filename> (as
    <filename>/var/</filename> is generally not accessible this early yet), while
    <filename>systemd-tpm2-setup.service</filename> runs during a later boot phase and saves the public key
    to <filename>/var/lib/systemd/tpm2-srk-public-key.*</filename>.</para>
