dnssec-signkey \- DNSSEC key set signing tool

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBdnssec-signkey\fR utility signs a keyset. Typically the keyset will be for a child zone and will have been generated by \fBdnssec-makekeyset\fR(8). The child zone's keyset is signed with the zone keys for its parent zone. The output file is of the form \fBsignedkey\fR-\fInnnn.\fR, where \fInnnn\fR is the zone name.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-a\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
Verify all generated signatures.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-c\fR \fIclass\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
Specify the DNS class of the key sets.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-e\fR \fIend-time\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
Specify the date and time when the generated SIG records expire. As with \fIstart-time\fR, an absolute time is indicated in \fBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS\fR notation. A time relative to the start time is indicated with +\fIN\fR, which is \fIN\fR seconds from the start time. A time relative to the current time is indicated with now+\fIN\fR. If no \fIend-time\fR is specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a default.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-h\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to \fBdnssec-signkey()\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-p\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
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.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-r\fR \fIrandomdev\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
Specify the source of randomness. If the operating system does not provide a \fB/dev/random\fR or equivalent device, the default source of randomness is keyboard input. \fIrandomdev\fR specifies the name of a character device or file containing random data to be used instead of the default. The special value \fBkeyboard\fR indicates that keyboard input should be used.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fB-s\fR \fIstart-time\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 17n
.rt  
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 \fBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS\fR notation; 20000530144500 denotes 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative start time is indicated by +\fIN\fR, which is \fIN\fR seconds from the current time. If no \fIstart-time\fR is specified, the current time is used.

.SH OPERANDS
.sp
.LP
The following operands are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fIkey\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 10n

The keys used to sign the child's keyset.

The file containing the child's keyset.

.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
\fBExample 1 \fRSign the \fIkeyset\fR file for \fBexample.com\fR.
.sp
.LP
The DNS administrator for a DNSSEC-aware \fB\&.com\fR zone would use the following command to sign the \fIkeyset\fR file for \fBexample.com\fR created by \fBdnssec-makekeyset\fR with a key generated by \fBdnssec-keygen\fR:

.sp
.in +2
.nf
dnssec-signkey keyset-example.com. Kcom.+003+51944
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
In this example, \fBdnssec-signkey\fR creates the file \fBsignedkey-example.com\fR, which contains the \fBexample.com\fR keys and the signatures by the \fB\&.com\fR keys.
