Hi,
can someone please tell me from experience whether PCR-18 can be treated as 
non-changing between different servers or platforms when pcr_map=da is used and 
I use the same signing key?

Can I safely assume that PCR-18 will be the same on different servers or 
different brands of servers even? Docs say the following and I'm not sure - 
especially the last point would be troubling but I don't think it changes when 
I use a different tboot binary (that should produce a different hash, right?). 

The following hashes are extended to PCR18 in the order given:

        •   DIGEST of public key modulus used to verify SINIT signature.

        •   DIGEST of Processor S-CRTM status coded as DWORD – same value as 
extended to PCR17.

        •   DIGEST of Capability field of OsSinitData table, coded as DWORD – 
same value as extended to PCR17.

        •   DIGEST of PolicyControl field of used policy (platform supplier 
(PS) or platform owner (PO)) coded as DWORD – same value as extended to PCR17.

        •   DIGEST of LCP – DIGEST of concatenation of hashes of lists 
containing matching elements. If no policy, for 1.2 family, this digest is 
zero; for 2.0 family, it is DIGEST(0x0)


Thanks
Jan
