2a6d4c9948b3f4f31311bd799d114585a30419a9Automatic Updater If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by

8e821eea5f57ac47a94305aa7ab0c3570d92a311Automatic Updater that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
2a31bd531072824ef252c18303859d6af7451b00Francis Dupont Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
28b3569d6248168e6c00caab951521cc8141a49dAutomatic Updater algorithm, and DSA is recommended.
2a31bd531072824ef252c18303859d6af7451b00Francis Dupont Note 2: DH automatically sets the -k flag.
