-<a name="id2597830"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
-<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>
- generates keys for DNSSEC (Secure DNS), as defined in RFC 2535
- and RFC 4034. It can also generate keys for use with
- TSIG (Transaction Signatures), as defined in RFC 2845.
- </p>
-</div>
-<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
-<a name="id2597844"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
-<div class="variablelist"><dl>
-<dt><span class="term">-a <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd>
-<p>
- Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
- <code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5 (RSA) or RSASHA1,
- DSA, DH (Diffie Hellman), or HMAC-MD5. These values
- are case insensitive.
- </p>
-<p>
- Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
- algorithm,
- and DSA is recommended. For TSIG, HMAC-MD5 is mandatory.
- </p>
-<p>
- Note 2: HMAC-MD5 and DH automatically set the -k flag.
- </p>
-</dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>keysize</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the number of bits in the key. The choice of key
- size depends on the algorithm used. RSAMD5 / RSASHA1 keys must be
- between
- 512 and 2048 bits. Diffie Hellman keys must be between
- 128 and 4096 bits. DSA keys must be between 512 and 1024
- bits and an exact multiple of 64. HMAC-MD5 keys must be
- between 1 and 512 bits.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-n <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the owner type of the key. The value of
- <code class="option">nametype</code> must either be ZONE (for a DNSSEC
- zone key (KEY/DNSKEY)), HOST or ENTITY (for a key associated with
- a host (KEY)),
- USER (for a key associated with a user(KEY)) or OTHER (DNSKEY).
- These values are
- case insensitive.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Indicates that the DNS record containing the key should have
- the specified class. If not specified, class IN is used.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-e</span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- If generating an RSAMD5/RSASHA1 key, use a large exponent.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-f <em class="replaceable"><code>flag</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Set the specified flag in the flag field of the KEY/DNSKEY record.
- The only recognized flag is KSK (Key Signing Key) DNSKEY.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-g <em class="replaceable"><code>generator</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- If generating a Diffie Hellman key, use this generator.
- Allowed values are 2 and 5. If no generator
- is specified, a known prime from RFC 2539 will be used
- if possible; otherwise the default is 2.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
- <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-k</span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Generate KEY records rather than DNSKEY records.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>protocol</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Sets the protocol value for the generated key. The protocol
- is a number between 0 and 255. The default is 3 (DNSSEC).
- Other possible values for this argument are listed in
- RFC 2535 and its successors.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-r <em class="replaceable"><code>randomdev</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the source of randomness. If the operating
- system does not provide a <code class="filename">/dev/random</code>
- or equivalent device, the default source of randomness
- is keyboard input. <code class="filename">randomdev</code>
- specifies
- the name of a character device or file containing random
- data to be used instead of the default. The special value
- <code class="filename">keyboard</code> indicates that keyboard
- input should be used.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>strength</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Specifies the strength value of the key. The strength is
- a number between 0 and 15, and currently has no defined
- purpose in DNSSEC.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-t <em class="replaceable"><code>type</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Indicates the use of the key. <code class="option">type</code> must be
- one of AUTHCONF, NOAUTHCONF, NOAUTH, or NOCONF. The default
- is AUTHCONF. AUTH refers to the ability to authenticate
- data, and CONF the ability to encrypt data.
- </p></dd>
-<dt><span class="term">-v <em class="replaceable"><code>level</code></em></span></dt>
-<dd><p>
- Sets the debugging level.

-<p>
- When <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> completes
- successfully,
- it prints a string of the form <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii</code>
- to the standard output. This is an identification string for
- the key it has generated.
- </p>
-<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
-<li><p><code class="filename">nnnn</code> is the key name.
- </p></li>
-<li><p><code class="filename">aaa</code> is the numeric representation
- of the
- algorithm.
- </p></li>
-<li><p><code class="filename">iiiii</code> is the key identifier (or
- footprint).
- </p></li>
-</ul></div>
-<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>
- creates two files, with names based
- on the printed string. <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key</code>
- contains the public key, and
- <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.private</code> contains the
- private
- key.
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="filename">.key</code> file contains a DNS KEY record
- that
- can be inserted into a zone file (directly or with a $INCLUDE
- statement).
- </p>
-<p>
- The <code class="filename">.private</code> file contains
- algorithm-specific
- fields. For obvious security reasons, this file does not have
- general read permission.
- </p>
-<p>
- Both <code class="filename">.key</code> and <code class="filename">.private</code>
- files are generated for symmetric encryption algorithms such as
- HMAC-MD5, even though the public and private key are equivalent.

-<a name="id2598295"></a><h2>EXAMPLE</h2>
-<p>
- To generate a 768-bit DSA key for the domain
- <strong class="userinput"><code>example.com</code></strong>, the following command would be
- issued:
- </p>
-<p><strong class="userinput"><code>dnssec-keygen -a DSA -b 768 -n ZONE example.com</code></strong>
- </p>
-<p>
- The command would print a string of the form:
- </p>
-<p><strong class="userinput"><code>Kexample.com.+003+26160</code></strong>
- </p>
-<p>
- In this example, <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> creates
- the files <code class="filename">Kexample.com.+003+26160.key</code>
- and
- <code class="filename">Kexample.com.+003+26160.private</code>.
