<a name="id2614596"></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, or TKEY
(Transaction Key) as defined in RFC 2930.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="option">name</code> of the key is specified on the command
line. For DNSSEC keys, this must match the name of the zone for
which the key is being generated.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2614684"></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. For DNSSEC keys, the value
of <code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256, RSASHA512 or ECCGOST.
For TSIG/TKEY, the value must
be DH (Diffie Hellman), HMAC-MD5, HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA224,
HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, or HMAC-SHA512. These values are
case insensitive.
</p>
<p>
If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
<code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
</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: DH, HMAC-MD5, and HMAC-SHA1 through HMAC-SHA512
automatically set the -T KEY option.
</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. RSA 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 keys must be
between 1 and 512 bits.
</p>
<p>
The key size does not need to be specified if using a default
algorithm. The default key size is 1024 bits for zone signing
keys (ZSK's) and 2048 bits for key signing keys (KSK's,
generated with <code class="option">-f KSK</code>). However, if an
algorithm is explicitly specified with the <code class="option">-a</code>,
then there is no default key size, and the <code class="option">-b</code>
must be used.
</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. Defaults to ZONE for DNSKEY
generation.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-3</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Use an NSEC3-capable algorithm to generate a DNSSEC key.
If this option is used and no algorithm is explicitly
set on the command line, NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used by
default. Note that RSASHA256, RSASHA512 and ECCGOST algorithms
are NSEC3-capable.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-C</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Compatibility mode: generates an old-style key, without
any metadata. By default, <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>
will include the key's creation date in the metadata stored
with the private key, and other dates may be set there as well
(publication date, activation date, etc). Keys that include
this data may be incompatible with older versions of BIND; the
<code class="option">-C</code> option suppresses them.
</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 <em class="replaceable"><code>engine</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Uses a crypto hardware (OpenSSL engine) for random number
and, when supported, key generation. When compiled with PKCS#11
support it defaults to pkcs11; the empty name resets it to
no engine.
</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 flags are KSK (Key Signing Key) and REVOKE.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-G</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Generate a key, but do not publish it or sign with it. This
option is incompatible with -P and -A.
</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 <em class="replaceable"><code>directory</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the directory in which the key files are to be written.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-k</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Deprecated in favor of -T KEY.
</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">-q</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Quiet mode: Suppresses unnecessary output, including
progress indication. Without this option, when
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span> is run interactively
to generate an RSA or DSA key pair, it will print a string
of symbols to <code class="filename">stderr</code> indicating the
progress of the key generation. A '.' indicates that a
random number has been found which passed an initial
sieve test; '+' means a number has passed a single
round of the Miller-Rabin primality test; a space
means that the number has passed all the tests and is
a satisfactory key.
</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>key</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Create a new key which is an explicit successor to an
existing key. The name, algorithm, size, and type of the
key will be set to match the existing key. The activation
date of the new key will be set to the inactivation date of
the existing one. The publication date will be set to the
activation date minus the prepublication interval, which
defaults to 30 days.
</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>rrtype</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specifies the resource record type to use for the key.
<code class="option">rrtype</code> must be either DNSKEY or KEY. The
default is DNSKEY when using a DNSSEC algorithm, but it can be
overridden to KEY for use with SIG(0).
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Using any TSIG algorithm (HMAC-* or DH) forces this option
to KEY.
</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></dd>

<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2668243"></a><h2>TIMING OPTIONS</h2>
<p>
Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
an offset from the present time. For convenience, if such an offset
is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
then the offset is computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days,
ignoring leap years), months (defined as 30 24-hour days), weeks,
days, hours, or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the offset
is computed in seconds.
</p>
<div class="variablelist"><dl>
<dt><span class="term">-P <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which a key is to be published to the zone.
After that date, the key will be included in the zone but will
not be used to sign it. If not set, and if the -G option has
not been used, the default is "now".
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-A <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be activated. After that
date, the key will be included in the zone and used to sign
it. If not set, and if the -G option has not been used, the
default is "now".
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-R <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be revoked. After that
date, the key will be flagged as revoked. It will be included
in the zone and will be used to sign it.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-I <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be retired. After that
date, the key will still be included in the zone, but it
will not be used to sign it.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-D <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the date on which the key is to be deleted. After that
date, the key will no longer be included in the zone. (It
may remain in the key repository, however.)
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-i <em class="replaceable"><code>interval</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Sets the prepublication interval for a key. If set, then
the publication and activation dates must be separated by at least
this much time. If the activation date is specified but the
publication date isn't, then the publication date will default
to this much time before the activation date; conversely, if
the publication date is specified but activation date isn't,
then activation will be set to this much time after publication.
</p>
<p>
If the key is being created as an explicit successor to another
key, then the default prepublication interval is 30 days;
otherwise it is zero.
</p>
<p>
As with date offsets, if the argument is followed by one of
the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi', then the
interval is measured in years, months, weeks, days, hours,
or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the interval is
measured in seconds.

<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2668501"></a><h2>GENERATED KEYS</h2>
<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.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2668609"></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>.
