SEC(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation SEC(3)NAMENet::DNS::SEC - DNSSEC extensions to Net::DNS
SYNOPSIS
"use Net::DNS;"
The Net::DNS::SEC module implements a few class methods used by the
other modules in this suite and a few functions that can be exported.
DESCRIPTION
The Net::DSN::SEC suite provides the resource records that are needed
for DNSSEC (RFC 4033, 4034 and 4035).
It also provides support for SIG0. That later is useful for dynamic
updates using key-pairs.
RSA and DSA crypto routines are supported.
For details see Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG, Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY,
Net::DNS::RR::NSEC and Net::DNS::RR:DS. and see Net::DNS::RR::SIG and
Net::DNS::RR::KEY for the use with SIG0.
Net::DNS contains all needed hooks to load the Net::DNS::SEC extensions
when they are available.
See Net::DNS for general help.
Utility function
Use the following construct if you want to use thos function in your
code.
use Net::DNS::SEC qw( key_difference );
key_difference
$result=key_differnece(\@a,\@b,\@result);
Fills @result with all keys in the array "@a" that are not in the array
"@b".
Returns 0 on success or an error message on failure.
Class methods
These functions are inherited by relevant Net::DNS::RR classes. They
are not exported.
algorithm
$value=Net::DNS::SEC->algorithm("RSASHA1");
$value=$self->algorithm("RSASHA1");
$value=$self->algorithm(5);
$algorithm=$self->algorithm();
$memonic=$self->algorithm("mnemonic");
The algorithm method is used to set or read the value of the algorithm
field in Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY and Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG.
If supplied with an argument it will set the algorithm accordingly,
except when the argument equals the string "mnemonic" the method will
return the mnemonic of the algorithm.
Can also be called as a class method to do Mnemonic to Value conver-
sion.
