6 Net::DNS::SEC - DNSSEC extensions to Net::DNS
7
9 "use Net::DNS;"
10
11 The Net::DNS::SEC module implements a few class methods used by the
12 other modules in this suite and a few functions that can be exported.
13
15 The Net::DSN::SEC suite provides the resource records that are needed
16 for DNSSEC (RFC 4033, 4034 and 4035).
17
18 It also provides support for SIG0. That later is useful for dynamic
19 updates using key-pairs.
20
21 RSA and DSA crypto routines are supported.
22
23 For details see Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG, Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY,
24 Net::DNS::RR::NSEC and Net::DNS::RR:DS. and see Net::DNS::RR::SIG and
25 Net::DNS::RR::KEY for the use with SIG0.
26
27 Net::DNS contains all needed hooks to load the Net::DNS::SEC extensions
28 when they are available.
29
30 See Net::DNS for general help.
31
33 Use the following construct if you want to use thos function in your
34 code.
35
36 use Net::DNS::SEC qw( key_difference );
37
38 key_difference
39
40 $result=key_differnece(\@a,\@b,\@result);
41
42 Fills @result with all keys in the array "@a" that are not in the array
43 "@b".
44
45 Returns 0 on success or an error message on failure.
46
48 These functions are inherited by relevant Net::DNS::RR classes. They
49 are not exported.
50
51 algorithm
52
53 $value=Net::DNS::SEC->algorithm("RSASHA1");
54 $value=$self->algorithm("RSASHA1");
55 $value=$self->algorithm(5);
56
57 $algorithm=$self->algorithm();
58 $memonic=$self->algorithm("mnemonic");
59
60 The algorithm method is used to set or read the value of the algorithm
61 field in Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY and Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG.
62
63 If supplied with an argument it will set the algorithm accordingly,
64 except when the argument equals the string "mnemonic" the method will
65 return the mnemonic of the algorithm.
66
67 Can also be called as a class method to do Mnemonic to Value conver‐
68 sion.
