I would like to find (mature) API alternatives to use TPM (Trusted Platform Module) funcionality on Linux (and maybe other *nix). I'm interested in trusted encrypt/decrypt functions for authentication (probably integrating with Kerberos).

I found jTSS (for Java) and TrouSerS, but I would like to know about other alternatives, if any. "Googling" was not so useful.

A: 

AFAIK there are not so many alternatives.

Currently there is an JSR in progress to establish an High Level Java API for trusted computing: jsr321.dev.java.net/

You can also use libtpm and the tpm_utils which are based on the lib: http://domino.research.ibm.com/comm/research_projects.nsf/pages/gsal.TCG.html

btw for the archives: jTSS can be found at trustedjava.sourceforge.net/
