NAME

ldns-keygen - generate a DNSSEC key pair

SYNOPSIS

ldns-keygen [ OPTION ] DOMAIN

DESCRIPTION

ldns-keygen is used to generate a private/public keypair. When run, it will create 3 files; a .key file with the public DNSKEY, a .private file with the private keydata and a .ds with the DS record of the DNSKEY record.

It prints out the basename for these files: K<name>+<alg>+<id>

OPTIONS

-a <algorithm>
Create a key with this algorithm. Specifying 'list' here gives a list of supported algorithms.
-b <bits>
Use this many bits for the key length.
-k
When given, generate a key signing key. This just sets the flag field to 257 instead of 256 in the DNSKEY RR in the .key file.
-r device
Make ldns-keygen use this file to seed the random generator with. This will default to /dev/random.
-v
Show the version and exit
