I'm not sure why you need a "set of" ZSK's. One should be enough unless you're using multiple signing algorithms. > Finally what I want is to invoke to dnssec-signzone without using > explicitly the KSK. > > - is there another way to proceed? > - was it the functionality of dnssec-signkey? Yes, that's possible. You can run dnssec-signzone in phases; it will sign the zone with the keys it has available to it in each pass. Something like this: $ ksk=`dnssec-keygen -a RSASHA1 -b 2048 -f KSK example.com` $ zsk=`dnssec-keygen -a RSASHA1 -b 1024 example.com` $ cat ${ksk}.key ${zsk}.key >> example.com $ dnssec-signzone example.com ${ksk} $ dnssec-signzone -o example.com -f example.com.signed example.com.signed ${zsk} The first call to dnssec-signzone signs the DNSKEY set using the KSK. The second call signs the rest of the zone--as well as the previously- signed DNSKEY set--using the ZSK. (That's why the -o and -f options are there--the second time around, it's reading in the zone from the previously-signed version, not from the master source.) After this, if you like, you can move your KSK to a secure location. Whenever you change the DNSKEY set (for instance, by rolling to a new ZSK), you repeat this process. Note that in future releases (9.6.2 and higher) you'll need to add the -P option (meaning "partial") to dnssec-signzone for this to work. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
