TPM_E_BUFFER_LENGTH_MISMATCH

TPM_E_BUFFER_LENGTH_MISMATCH means related input buffers have inconsistent lengths. It is usually a caller-side packing or serialization error.

What to check for TPM_E_BUFFER_LENGTH_MISMATCH

  • Verify every length field against the actual byte count of its corresponding buffer.
  • Check structure packing, Unicode/ANSI conversion, and any serialization boundary between managed and native code.
  • Do not send partially initialized structures to the provider; validate them before the CNG call.

Microsoft: TPM and PCP error codes

Diagnostic discriminator: Compare the lengths of all related buffers and serialized fields supplied for the TPM operation. This result identifies inconsistent caller-side lengths rather than a TPM authorization failure.
