[strongSwan] Fwd: Using TPM to store RSA certificate for VPN/IPSec tunnel opening

Hi Gilles,

if the certificate and private key secured by the TPM is
reachable via a PKCS#11 smartcard interface then the strongSwan
charon daemon can interact with it and use it for signing the
IKE_AUTH payload.

Best regards

Andreas
