9 dnssec-makekeyset [-ahp] [-s start-time] [-e end-time]
10 [-r randomdev] [-t ttl] [-v level] key...
11
14 The dnssec-makekeyset utility generates a key set from one or more keys
15 created by dnssec-keygen(1M). It creates a file containing a KEY record
16 for each key, and self-signs the key set with each zone key. The output
17 file is of the form keyset-nnnn., where nnnn is the zone name.
18
20 -a Verify all generated signatures.
21 -e end-time Specify the date and time when the generated SIG
24 records expire. As with start-time, an absolute time
25 is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation. A time rela‐
26 tive to the start time is indicated with +N, which is
27 N seconds from the start time. A time relative to the
28 current time is indicated with now+N. If no end-time
29 is specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a
30 default.
31 -h Print a short summary of the options and arguments to
34 dnssec-makekeyset().
35 -p Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone. This is
38 faster, but less secure, than using real random data.
39 This option may be useful when signing large zones or
40 when the entropy source is limited.
41 -r randomdev Specify the source of randomness. If the operating
44 system does not provide a /dev/random or equivalent
45 device, the default source of randomness is keyboard
46 input. The randomdev argument specifies the name of a
47 character device or file containing random data to be
48 used instead of the default. The special value key‐
49 board indicates that keyboard input should be used.
50 -s start-time Specify the date and time when the generated SIG
53 records become valid. This can be either an absolute
54 or relative time. An absolute start time is indicated
55 by a number in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500
56 denotes 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative
57 start time is indicated by +N, which is N seconds from
58 the current time. If no start-time is specified, the
59 current time is used.
60 -t ttl Specify the TTL (time to live) of the KEY and SIG
63 records. The default is 3600 seconds.
64 -v level Set the debugging level.
67
70 The following operands are supported:
71 key The list of keys to be included in the keyset file. These keys
73 are expressed in the form Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii as generated by
74 dnssec-keygen.
75
78 Example 1 Generates a keyset containing the DSA key for example.com.
79 The following command generates a keyset containing the DSA key for
82 example.com generated in the dnssec-keygen(1M) manual page.
83 dnssec-makekeyset -t 86400 -s 20000701120000 -e +2592000 \
86 Kexample.com.+003+26160
87 In this example, dnssec-makekeyset() creates the file keyset-exam‐
92 ple.com. This file contains the specified key and a self-generated sig‐
93 nature.
94 The DNS administrator for example.com could send keyset-example.com. to
98 the DNS administrator for .com for signing, if the .com zone is DNSSEC-
99 aware and the administrators of the two zones have some mechanism for
100 authenticating each other and exchanging the keys and signatures
101 securely.
