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 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-
	  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 indicates 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
     Kexample.com.+003+26160

     In this example, dnssec-makekeyset creates the file keyset-example.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.
