12675N/A NSEC and RRSIG records and produces a signed version of the
12675N/A zone. The security status of delegations from the signed zone
12675N/A (that is, whether the child zones are secure or not) is
12675N/A determined by the presence or absence of a

12675N/A Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records
12675N/A become valid. This can be either an absolute or relative
12675N/A time. An absolute start time is indicated by a number
12675N/A in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500 denotes
12675N/A 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative start time is
12675N/A indicated by +N, which is N seconds from the current time.

12675N/A When a previously-signed zone is passed as input, records
12675N/A may be resigned. The <
code class="option">interval</
code> option
12675N/A specifies the cycle interval as an offset from the current
12675N/A time (in seconds). If a RRSIG record expires after the
12675N/A cycle interval, it is retained. Otherwise, it is considered
12675N/A to be expiring soon, and it will be replaced.
12675N/A The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference
12675N/A between the signature end and start times. So if neither
12675N/A <
code class="option">end-time</

12675N/A This option is primarily intended to be used for dynamic

12675N/A When signing a zone with a fixed signature lifetime, all
12675N/A RRSIG records issued at the time of signing expires
12675N/A simultaneously. If the zone is incrementally signed,
i.e. 12675N/A a previously-signed zone is passed as input to the signer,
12675N/A all expired signatures have to be regenerated at about the
12675N/A same time. The <
code class="option">jitter</
code> option specifies a
12675N/A jitter window that will be used to randomize the signature
12675N/A expire time, thus spreading incremental signature
12675N/A Signature lifetime jitter also to some extent benefits
12675N/A validators and servers by spreading out cache expiration,
12675N/A i.e. if large numbers of RRSIGs don't expire at the same time
12675N/A from all caches there will be less congestion than if all
12675N/A validators need to refetch at mostly the same time.
