+ <p>
+ This secret is associated with a virtualized TPM (vTPM) and serves
+ as a passphrase for deriving a key from for encrypting the state
+ of the vTPM.
+ The <code><usage type='vtpm'></code> element must
contain
+ a single <code>name</code> element that specifies a usage name
+ for the secret. The vTPM secret can then be used by UUID or by
+ this usage name via the <code><encryption></code> element
of
+ a <a href="formatdomain.html#elementsTpm">tpm</a> when using
an
+ emulator.
+ <span class="since">Since 5.5.0</span>. The following is an
example
+ of the steps to be taken. First create a vtpm-secret.xml file: </p>
+
+ <pre>
+# cat vtpm-secret.xml
+<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
+ <description>sample vTPM secret</description>
+ <usage type='vtpm'>

+ <p>
+ A secret may also be defined via the
+ <a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretDefineXML">
+ <code>virSecretDefineXML</code></a> API.
+
+ Once the secret is defined, a secret value will need to be set. The
+ secret would be the passphrase used to decrypt the vTPM state.
+ The following is a simple example of using
+ <code>virsh secret-set-value</code> to set the secret value. The
+ <a href="html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretSetValue">
+ <code>virSecretSetValue</code></a> API may also be used to set
+ a more secure secret without using printable/readable characters.
