Jacob,

The plan is to lower the barrier of entry to hardware signing.  And
I want to do this with the packet managers (on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and
of course the others).  I also want to do it in a a way that remains
open to upgrade (to auditable standards).  OpenDNSSEC strikes me as
part of the solution, even if it has perhaps not been getting the
traction it deserves :-)-O


Richard Lamb has this ceremony CD which is a Centos, and there are
the Bind 9.8 sources, with a patch, that I have not looked at.

Diego and I have sexed this (card generation) up a little for the
Mac :-)-O and I am thinking about my take on this for an auditable
ceremony :-)-O


We are looking at OpenDNSSEC, and I have yesterday figured out what
TokenLabel means :-)-O.

Of course OpenDNSSEC can also generate the keys into the cards, but
unless I ma missing something, this makes the preparation and
conduct of an auditable ceremony difficult (or impossible?)

OpenDNSSEC is overkill for lisse.NA, but once I figure it out, I can
then set this up for the .NA zone.  That is important, because
CoCCATools already works with OpendDNSSEC so what we then can do for
those TLDs is to replace the softHSM with a very cheap hardware
solution and offer a simple to use key generation script.

I would like to be able to continue to manually sign lisse.NA with
dnssec-signzone on the Mac.  Not only for the amusement value, but
also to gain experience with the tools.

Bind 9.10.1 from homebrew does not read the card.  I am unable to
compile it to do so.  If you can get me the configure arguments to
do that I am going to keep you in beer for an evening until you keel
over :-)-O


greetings, el
