The way I understand the ECDSA standard, it is supposed to truncate the 
provided hash - which is why it is possible to have ECDSA-over-P256-SHA384.

One possibility would be for you to truncate the SHA2 output yourself, IMHO.

    The problem is as follows:
    The digest parameter of the TPM2_Sign command is checked against the hash 
algorithms supported by the TPM.
    If the TPM only supports SHA256, then the maximum size for the digest 
parameter is 32 bytes.
    So you cannot pass in a SHA512 hash, even though the TPM does not even 
perform a hash operation.
    Kind of stupid, I know, but thats how it goes.
    For RSA, I could "emulate" signing by using the TPM2_RSA_Decrypt command. 
For ECDSA however there is no equivalent.
    Thus the tpm2-tss-engine will only support up to SHA384 (since that's what 
most TPMs support).
    
    Therefore, the engine needs to communicate to OpenSSL's TLS not to 
negotiate SHA512.
    
    That was apparently added für 1.0.1 and 1.1.1 recently as the 
ASN1_PKEY_CTRL_DEFAULT_MD_NID ameth ctrl.
    
    I just don't know enough about OpenSSL as to where to start with this.
    
    Anyone have any hints please ?

    What about when keys aren't restricted to one specific signing scheme
    and support raw encrypt/decrypt?
    You could just synthesize it by building up the signature structure on
    the client side
    and using the raw primitives to encrypt the signing structure directly.
