Since SPIRE v1.1.0, SPIRE no longer supports plugins that don't use the plugin SDK. That includes the SPIRE TPM plugin in this repository. Unfortunately, newer SPIRE versions seem to produce confusing and unhelpful error messages (a piece of which is shown below) when one attempts to use a plugin that doesn't use the plugin SDK.

err="rpc error: code = Unimplemented desc = unknown service plugin.GRPCStdio" external=true plugin_name=tpm plugin_type=NodeAttestor subsystem_name=tpm.stdio site:github.com

Due to this, I feel it would be helpful to those seeking to use this plugin if at least one of the following were done:

  1. Add a note to the README saying that the plugin does not use the plugin SDK and thus will not work with SPIRE versions v1.1.0 or later.
  2. Add a note to the README mentioning the fork here, since that fork does use the plugin SDK.
