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 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-
	      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 indi‐
	      cates 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  fol‐
       lowing  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-exam‐
       ple.com., which contains the example.com keys and the signatures by the
       .com keys.
