dnssec-makekeyset(1M) System Administration Commands dnssec-makekeyset(1M)NAMEdnssec-makekeyset - DNSSEC zone signing tool
SYNOPSISdnssec-makekeyset [-ahp] [-s start-time] [-e end-time]
[-r randomdev] [-t ttl] [-v level] key...
DESCRIPTION
The dnssec-makekeyset utility generates a key set from one or more keys
created by dnssec-keygen(1M). It creates a file containing a KEY record
for each key, and self-signs the key set with each zone key. The output
file is of the form keyset-nnnn., where nnnn is the zone name.
OPTIONS-a Verify all generated signatures.
-e end-time Specify the date and time when the generated SIG
records expire. As with start-time, an absolute time
is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation. A time rela‐
tive to the start time is indicated with +N, which is
N seconds from the start time. A time relative to the
current time is indicated with now+N. If no end-time
is specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a
default.
-h Print a short summary of the options and arguments to
dnssec-makekeyset().
-p Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone. This is
faster, but less secure, than using real random data.
This option may be useful when signing large zones or
when the entropy source is limited.
-r randomdev Specify the source of randomness. If the operating
system does not provide a /dev/random or equivalent
device, the default source of randomness is keyboard
input. The randomdev argument specifies the name of a
character device or file containing random data to be
used instead of the default. The special value key‐
board indicates that keyboard input should be used.
-s start-time Specify the date and time when the generated SIG
records become valid. This can be either an absolute
or relative time. An absolute start time is indicated
by a number in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500
denotes 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative
start time is indicated by +N, which is N seconds from
the current time. If no start-time is specified, the
current time is used.
-t ttl Specify the TTL (time to live) of the KEY and SIG
records. The default is 3600 seconds.
-v level Set the debugging level.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
key The list of keys to be included in the keyset file. These keys
are expressed in the form Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii as generated by
dnssec-keygen.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Generates a keyset containing the DSA key for example.com.
The following command generates a keyset containing the DSA key for
example.com generated in the dnssec-keygen(1M) manual page.
dnssec-makekeyset-t 86400 -s 20000701120000 -e +2592000 \
Kexample.com.+003+26160
In this example, dnssec-makekeyset() creates the file keyset-exam‐
ple.com. This file contains the specified key and a self-generated sig‐
nature.
The DNS administrator for example.com could send keyset-example.com. to
the DNS administrator for .com for signing, if the .com zone is DNSSEC-
aware and the administrators of the two zones have some mechanism for
authenticating each other and exchanging the keys and signatures
securely.
