dnssec-signkey signs a keyset. Typically
the keyset will be for a child zone, and will have been generated
by dnssec-makekeyset. The child zone's keyset
is signed with the zone keys for its parent zone. The output file
is of the form signedkey-nnnn., where
nnnn is the zone name.
OPTIONS
-a
Verify all generated signatures.
-c class
Specifies the DNS class of the key sets.
-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.
-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 relative
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
Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
dnssec-signkey.
-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
Specifies 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. randomdev specifies
the name of a character device or file containing random
data to be used instead of the default. The special value
keyboard indicates that keyboard
input should be used.
-v level
Sets the debugging level.
keyset
The file containing the child's keyset.
key
The keys used to sign the child's keyset.
EXAMPLE
The DNS administrator for a DNSSEC-aware .com
zone would use the following command to sign the
keyset file for example.com
created by dnssec-makekeyset with a key generated
by dnssec-keygen:
