Some TPMs store the EK certificate in NVRAM wrapped in an ASN.1 OCTET STRING (tag 0x04) instead of raw DER (tag 0x30). check_ek_cert() didn't detect or unwrap this, only stripped trailing padding via a picky_asn1_der::Asn1RawDer roundtrip, so a wrapped cert was sent to the registrar as-is and rejected. Add unwrap_octet_string_ek_cert(): detects the OCTET STRING tag before the existing parse/re-encode step, unwraps it using picky-asn1-der's built-in OctetString support (via serde_bytes, no new external dependency), and verifies the inner content starts with a SEQUENCE tag. Falls back to the original bytes, with a warning logged, if anything doesn't look like a validly wrapped certificate. Resolves: keylime#1225 Signed-off-by: Marek Safarik <msafarik@redhat.com>

Looks good overall, clean fix. One suggestion about where to place the unwrapping call.
Not in this diff, but related: split_der_certificates breaks on any non-0x30 first byte, so if the same TPM vendors that wrap the EK cert also wrap CA chain certs at NV indices 0x01c00100-0x01c001ff, they would be silently dropped by read_ek_ca_chain. Might be worth applying the same unwrap_octet_string_ek_cert to each NV index's data as a follow-up.

Placing the unwrap inside check_ek_cert means the unwrapped result is lost on the error path. In create_ek (line 754), when check_ek_cert returns Err, the fallback at line 758 uses Some(cert) which is the original raw NVRAM bytes, still OCTET STRING-wrapped.
Would it work better to move the unwrapping to the call site? Remove it from here and instead do it in create_ek around line 753:
Ok(cert) => {
let cert = unwrap_octet_string_ek_cert(&cert);
match self.check_ek_cert(&cert) {
Ok(cert_checked) => Some(cert_checked),
Err(_) => {
warn!("EK certificate in TPM NVRAM is not ASN.1 DER encoded");
Some(cert) // now uses the unwrapped cert
}
}
}That way check_ek_cert stays focused on the DER re-encoding, and the fallback also benefits from the unwrapping.

What
Some TPMs store the EK certificate in NVRAM wrapped in an ASN.1 OCTET STRING (tag
0x04) instead of raw DER (tag0x30).check_ek_cert()didn't detect or unwrap this, only stripped trailing padding, so the wrapped cert was sent to the registrar as-is and rejected.Fix
Detect the OCTET STRING tag before the existing parse/re-encode step, unwrap it, and verify the inner content starts with a SEQUENCE tag. Falls back to the original bytes (with a warning) if anything doesn't look like a validly wrapped cert.
Testing
Added unit tests covering: wrapped cert gets unwrapped, non-wrapped cert is unaffected, and wrapped-but-invalid-inner-content is passed through as-is.
