3733e9d930124c0050f9d5f27ee7a2f1b1b0bb2eKnut Anders Hatlen signs a zone. It generates

3733e9d930124c0050f9d5f27ee7a2f1b1b0bb2eKnut Anders Hatlen NSEC and RRSIG records and produces a signed version of the

3733e9d930124c0050f9d5f27ee7a2f1b1b0bb2eKnut Anders Hatlen zone. The security status of delegations from the signed zone

3733e9d930124c0050f9d5f27ee7a2f1b1b0bb2eKnut Anders Hatlen (that is, whether the child zones are secure or not) is

3733e9d930124c0050f9d5f27ee7a2f1b1b0bb2eKnut Anders Hatlen determined by the presence or absence of a

3733e9d930124c0050f9d5f27ee7a2f1b1b0bb2eKnut Anders Hatlen <filename>keyset</filename> file for each child zone.

<term>-M <replaceable class="parameter">maxttl</replaceable></term>

<listitem>

<para>

Sets the maximum TTL for the signed zone.

Any TTL higher than <replaceable>maxttl</replaceable> in the

input zone will be reduced to <replaceable>maxttl</replaceable>

in the output. This provides certainty as to the largest

possible TTL in the signed zone, which is useful to know when

rolling keys because it is the longest possible time before

signatures that have been retrieved by resolvers will expire

from resolver caches. Zones that are signed with this

option should be configured to use a matching

<option>max-zone-ttl</option> in <filename>named.conf</filename>.

(Note: This option is incompatible with <option>-D</option>,

because it modifies non-DNSSEC data in the output zone.)

Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records

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 <option>start-time</option> is specified, the current

the start time. A time relative to the current time is

indicated with now+N. If no <option>end-time</option> is

when the DNSKEY signatures need to persist longer than

signatures on other records; e.g., when the private component

of the KSK is kept offline and the KSK signature is to be

<term>-i <replaceable class="parameter">interval</replaceable></term>

<listitem>

<para>

When a previously-signed zone is passed as input, records

may be resigned. The <option>interval</option> option

specifies the cycle interval as an offset from the current

time (in seconds). If a RRSIG record expires after the

cycle interval, it is retained. Otherwise, it is considered

to be expiring soon, and it will be replaced.

</para>

<para>

The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference

between the signature end and start times. So if neither

<option>end-time</option> or <option>start-time</option>

are specified, <command>dnssec-signzone</command>

generates

signatures that are valid for 30 days, with a cycle

interval of 7.5 days. Therefore, if any existing RRSIG records

are due to expire in less than 7.5 days, they would be

replaced.

<para>

The format of the input zone file.

Possible formats are <command>"text"</command> (default),

<command>"raw"</command>, and <command>"map"</command>.

This option is primarily intended to be used for dynamic

signed zones so that the dumped zone file in a non-text

format containing updates can be signed directly.

The use of this option does not make much sense for

non-dynamic zones.

<term>-j <replaceable class="parameter">jitter</replaceable></term>

<listitem>

<para>

When signing a zone with a fixed signature lifetime, all

RRSIG records issued at the time of signing expires

simultaneously. If the zone is incrementally signed, i.e.

a previously-signed zone is passed as input to the signer,

all expired signatures have to be regenerated at about the

same time. The <option>jitter</option> option specifies a

jitter window that will be used to randomize the signature

expire time, thus spreading incremental signature

regeneration over time.

</para>

<para>

Signature lifetime jitter also to some extent benefits

validators and servers by spreading out cache expiration,

i.e. if large numbers of RRSIGs don't expire at the same time

from all caches there will be less congestion than if all

validators need to refetch at mostly the same time.

The format of the output file containing the signed zone.

<command>"full"</command>, which is text output in a

and <command>"map"</command>, <command>"raw"</command>,

and <command>"raw=N"</command>, which store the zone in

binary formats for rapid loading by <command>named</command>.

<command>"raw=N"</command> specifies the format version of

the raw zone file: if N is 0, the raw file can be read by

any version of <command>named</command>; if N is 1, the file

can be read by release 9.9.0 or higher; the default is 1.

<term>-Q</term>

<para>

Remove signatures from keys that are no longer active.

<para>

Normally, when a previously-signed zone is passed as input

to the signer, and a DNSKEY record has been removed and

replaced with a new one, signatures from the old key

that are still within their validity period are retained.

This allows the zone to continue to validate with cached

copies of the old DNSKEY RRset. The <option>-Q</option>

forces <command>dnssec-signzone</command> to remove

signatures from keys that are no longer active. This

enables ZSK rollover using the procedure described in

RFC 4641, section 4.2.1.1 ("Pre-Publish Key Rollover").
