DNSSEC−DSFROMKEY

NAME

dnssec−dsfromkey − DNSSEC DS RR generation tool

SYNOPSIS

dnssec−dsfromkey [−v level] [−1] [−2] [−a alg] {keyfile}

dnssec−dsfromkey {−s} [−v level] [−1] [−2] [−a alg] [−c class] [−d dir] {dnsname}

DESCRIPTION

dnssec−dsfromkey outputs the Delegation Signer (DS) resource record (RR), as defined in RFC 3658 and RFC 4509, for the given key(s).

OPTIONS

−1

Use SHA−1 as the digest algorithm (the default is to use both SHA−1 and SHA−256).

−2

Use SHA−256 as the digest algorithm.

−a algorithm

Select the digest algorithm. The value of algorithm must be one of SHA−1 (SHA1) or SHA−256 (SHA256). These values are case insensitive.

−v level

Sets the debugging level.

−s

Keyset mode: in place of the keyfile name, the argument is the DNS domain name of a keyset file. Following options make sense only in this mode.

−c class

Specifies the DNS class (default is IN), useful only in the keyset mode.

−d directory

Look for keyset files in directory as the directory, ignored when not in the keyset mode.

EXAMPLE

To build the SHA−256 DS RR from the Kexample.com.+003+26160 keyfile name, the following command would be issued:

dnssec−dsfromkey −2 Kexample.com.+003+26160

The command would print something like:

example.com. IN DS 26160 5 2 3A1EADA7A74B8D0BA86726B0C227AA85AB8BBD2B2004F41A868A54F0 C5EA0B94

FILES

The keyfile can be designed by the key identification Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii or the full file name Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key as generated by dnssec−keygen(8).

The keyset file name is built from the directory, the string keyset− and the dnsname.

CAVEAT

A keyfile error can give a "file not found" even if the file exists.
