358N/A gets keys with the given label from a crypto hardware and builds

342N/A Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
342N/A <
code class="option">algorithm</
code> must be one of RSAMD5 (RSA)
342N/A or RSASHA1, DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA or DH (Diffie Hellman).
342N/A These values are case insensitive.
342N/A Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
342N/A algorithm, and DSA is recommended.
342N/A Note 2: DH automatically sets the -k flag.

342N/A Specifies the owner type of the key. The value of

342N/A Sets the protocol value for the generated key. The protocol
342N/A is a number between 0 and 255. The default is 3 (DNSSEC).
342N/A Other possible values for this argument are listed in
342N/A RFC 2535 and its successors.

code> must be
342N/A one of AUTHCONF, NOAUTHCONF, NOAUTH, or NOCONF. The default
342N/A is AUTHCONF. AUTH refers to the ability to authenticate
453N/A data, and CONF the ability to encrypt data.
