SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS;
$rr = new Net::DNS::RR('name SIG typecovered algorithm labels
orgttl sigexpiration siginception
keytag signame signature');
use Net::DNS::SEC;
$sigrr = create Net::DNS::RR::SIG( $string, $keypath,
sigval => 10 # minutes
);
$sigrr->verify( $string, $keyrr ) || die $sigrr->vrfyerrstr;
$sigrr->verify( $packet, $keyrr ) || die $sigrr->vrfyerrstr;
DESCRIPTION
Class for DNS digital signature (SIG) resource records.
In addition to the regular methods inherited from Net::DNS::RR the
class contains a method to sign packets and scalar data strings using
private keys (create) and a method for verifying signatures.
The SIG RR is an implementation of RFC2931. See Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG
for an implementation of RFC4034.
METHODS
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented
by the type-specific methods defined in this package.
Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data
structures is discouraged and could result in program termination or
other unpredictable behaviour.
algorithm
$algorithm = $rr->algorithm;
The algorithm number field identifies the cryptographic algorithm used
to create the signature.
algorithm() may also be invoked as a class method or simple function to
perform mnemonic and numeric code translation.
sigexpiration and siginception times
sigex sigin sigval
$expiration = $rr->sigexpiration;
$expiration = $rr->sigexpiration( $value );
$inception = $rr->siginception;
$inception = $rr->siginception( $value );
The signature expiration and inception fields specify a validity time
interval for the signature.
The value may be specified by a string with format 'yyyymmddhhmmss' or
a Perl time() value.
Return values are dual-valued, providing either a string value or
numerical Perl time() value.
keytag
$keytag = $rr->keytag;
$rr->keytag( $keytag );
The keytag field contains the key tag value of the KEY RR that
validates this signature.
signame
$signame = $rr->signame;
$rr->signame( $signame );
The signer name field value identifies the owner name of the KEY RR
that a validator is supposed to use to validate this signature.
signature
sig
$sig = $rr->sig;
$rr->sig( $sig );
The Signature field contains the cryptographic signature that covers
the SIG RDATA (excluding the Signature field) and the subject data.
sigbin
$sigbin = $rr->sigbin;
$rr->sigbin( $sigbin );
Binary representation of the cryptographic signature.
create
Create a signature over scalar data.
use Net::DNS::SEC;
$keypath = '/home/olaf/keys/Kbla.foo.+001+60114.private';
$sigrr = create Net::DNS::RR::SIG( $data, $keypath );
$sigrr = create Net::DNS::RR::SIG( $data, $keypath,
sigval => 10
);
$sigrr->print;
# Alternatively use Net::DNS::SEC::Private
$private = Net::DNS::SEC::Private->new($keypath);
$sigrr= create Net::DNS::RR::SIG( $data, $private );
create() is an alternative constructor for a SIG RR object.
This method returns a SIG with the signature over the data made with
the private key stored in the key file.
The first argument is a scalar that contains the data to be signed.
The second argument is a string which specifies the path to a file
containing the private key as generated with dnssec-keygen, a program
that comes with the ISC BIND distribution.
The optional remaining arguments consist of ( name => value ) pairs as
follows:
sigin => 20171201010101, # signature inception
sigex => 20171201011101, # signature expiration
sigval => 10, # validity window (minutes)
The sigin and sigex values may be specified as Perl time values or as a
string with the format 'yyyymmddhhmmss'. The default for sigin is the
time of signing.
The sigval argument specifies the signature validity window in minutes
( sigex = sigin + sigval ).
By default the signature is valid for 10 minutes.
ยท Do not change the name of the file generated by dnssec-keygen, the
create method uses the filename as generated by dnssec-keygen to
determine the keyowner, algorithm and the keyid (keytag).
verify
$verify = $sigrr->verify( $data, $keyrr );
$verify = $sigrr->verify( $data, [$keyrr, $keyrr2, $keyrr3] );
The verify() method performs SIG0 verification of the specified data
against the signature contained in the $sigrr object itself using the
public key in $keyrr.
If a reference to a Net::DNS::Packet is supplied, the method performs a
SIG0 verification on the packet data.
The second argument can either be a Net::DNS::RR::KEYRR object or a
reference to an array of such objects. Verification will return
successful as soon as one of the keys in the array leads to positive
validation.
Returns false on error and sets $sig->vrfyerrstr
vrfyerrstr
$sig0 = $packet->sigrr || die 'not signed';
print $sig0->vrfyerrstr unless $sig0->verify( $packet, $keyrr );
$sigrr->verify( $packet, $keyrr ) || die $sigrr->vrfyerrstr;
REMARKS
The code is not optimised for speed.
If this code is still around in 2100 (not a leap year) you will need to
check for proper handling of times ...
