DNSSEC-SIGNKEY(8)					     DNSSEC-SIGNKEY(8)

NAME
     dnssec-signkey - DNSSEC key set signing tool

SYNOPSIS
     dnssec-signkey [ -a ]  [ -c class ]  [ -s start-time ]  [ -e end-time ]
     [ -h ]  [ -p ]  [ -r randomdev ]  [ -v level ]  keyset key...

DESCRIPTION
     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:

     dnssec-signkey keyset-example.com. Kcom.+003+51944

     In this example, dnssec-signkey creates the file signedkey-example.com.,
     which contains the example.com keys and the signatures by the .com keys.
