NAME
       ldns-keygen - generate a DNSSEC key pair

SYNOPSIS
       ldns-keygen [ OPTION ] DOMAIN

DESCRIPTION
       ldns-keygen  is used to generate a private/public keypair. When run, it
       will create 3 files; a .key file with the  public  DNSKEY,  a  .private
       file  with  the	private	 keydata  and  a .ds with the DS record of the
       DNSKEY record.

       ldns-keygen can also be used to create symmetric	 keys  (for  TSIG)  by
       selecting    the	  appropriate	algorithm:   hmac-md5.sig-alg.reg.int,
       hmac-sha1 or hmac-sha256.  In that case no DS record  will  be  created
       and no .ds file.

       ldns-keygen prints the basename for the key files: K<name>+<alg>+<id>

OPTIONS
       -a <algorithm>
	      Create a key with this algorithm. Specifying 'list' here gives a
	      list of supported algorithms.   Several  alias  names  are  also
	      accepted	(from  older  versions	and  other software), the list
	      gives names from	the  RFC.   Also  the  plain  algo  number  is
	      accepted.

       -b <bits>
	      Use this many bits for the key length.

       -k     When  given, generate a key signing key. This just sets the flag
	      field to 257 instead of 256 in the DNSKEY RR in the .key file.

       -r device
	      Make ldns-keygen use this file  to  seed	the  random  generator
	      with. This will default to /dev/random.

       -v     Show the version and exit
