8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync gets keys with the given label from a crypto hardware and builds
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync key files for DNSSEC (Secure DNS), as defined in RFC 2535
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync and RFC 4034.

8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync The <code class="option">name</code> of the key is specified on the command
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync line. This must match the name of the zone for which the key is
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync being generated.

8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync <code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5, RSASHA1,
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256, RSASHA512 or ECCGOST.
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync These values are case insensitive.

8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync<p>
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync <code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)

8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync algorithm, and DSA is recommended.

8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync is a number between 0 and 255. The default is 3 (DNSSEC).

8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync an offset from the present time. For convenience, if such an offset
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync then the offset is computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days,
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync ignoring leap years), months (defined as 30 24-hour days), weeks,
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync days, hours, or minutes, respectively. Without a suffix, the offset
8c3d541c7ee7442f570b22eca3d82808b35b0385vboxsync is computed in seconds.

<p>
When <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span> completes

the key files it has generated.

<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p><code class="filename">nnnn</code> is the key name.

<li><p><code class="filename">aaa</code> is the numeric representation

<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span>
creates two files, with names based
on the printed string. <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key</code>
contains the public key, and
<code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.private</code> contains the
private key.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="filename">.key</code> file contains a DNS KEY record
that
can be inserted into a zone file (directly or with a $INCLUDE
statement).
</p>
<p>
The <code class="filename">.private</code> file contains
algorithm-specific
fields. For obvious security reasons, this file does not have
general read permission.
