DNSSEC-MAKEKEYSET(8)					  DNSSEC-MAKEKEYSET(8)

NAME
       dnssec-makekeyset - DNSSEC zone signing tool

SYNOPSIS
       dnssec-makekeyset [ -a ]	 [ -s start-time ]  [ -e end-time ]  [ -h ]  [
       -p ]  [ -r randomdev ]  [ -tttl ]  [ -v level ]	key...

DESCRIPTION
       dnssec-makekeyset generates a key set from one or more keys created  by
       dnssec-keygen.  It creates a file containing a KEY record for each key,
       and self-signs the key set with each zone key. The output  file	is  of
       the form keyset-nnnn., where nnnn is the zone name.

OPTIONS
       -a     Verify all generated signatures.

       -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 abso‐
	      lute start time is indicated by a number in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS nota‐
	      tion; 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 YYYYMMDDHH‐
	      MMSS  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-
	      makekeyset.

       -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	 indi‐
	      cates that keyboard input should be used.

       -t ttl Specify  the TTL (time to live) of the KEY and SIG records.  The
	      default is 3600 seconds.

       -v level
	      Sets the debugging level.

       key    The list of keys to be included in the keyset file.  These  keys
	      are  expressed  in  the  form  Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii  as generated by
	      dnssec-keygen.

EXAMPLE
       The following command generates a keyset containing  the	 DSA  key  for
       example.com generated in the dnssec-keygen man page.

       dnssec-makekeyset   -t  86400  -s  20000701120000  -e  +2592000	Kexam‐
       ple.com.+003+26160

       In  this	 example,  dnssec-makekeyset  creates  the  file  keyset-exam‐
       ple.com..  This	file  contains	the specified key and a self-generated
       signature.

       The DNS administrator for example.com could send keyset-example.com. to
       the DNS administrator for .com for signing, if the .com zone is DNSSEC-
       aware and the administrators of the two zones have some	mechanism  for
       authenticating  each  other  and	 exchanging  the  keys	and signatures
       securely.
