823N/A Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
823N/A <
code class="option">algorithm</
code> must be one of RSAMD5 (RSA)
823N/A or RSASHA1, DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA or DH (Diffie Hellman).
823N/A These values are case insensitive.
897N/A Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
897N/A algorithm, and DSA is recommended.
1898N/A Note 2: DH automatically sets the -k flag.

897N/A Specifies the owner type of the key. The value of

823N/A Sets the protocol value for the generated key. The protocol
6489N/A is a number between 0 and 255. The default is 3 (DNSSEC).
6489N/A Other possible values for this argument are listed in
6489N/A RFC 2535 and its successors.

823N/A Indicates the use of the key. <
code class="option">type</
code> must be
823N/A one of AUTHCONF, NOAUTHCONF, NOAUTH, or NOCONF. The default
823N/A is AUTHCONF. AUTH refers to the ability to authenticate
823N/A data, and CONF the ability to encrypt data.
