Chapter 3. Linux Commands > dnssec-keygen
dnssec-keygen
dnssec-keygen [options] domain-name
System administration command. Generate encrypted Secure DNS (DNSSEC) or Transaction Signatures (TSIG) keys for domain-name. When the key is completed, dnssec-keygen prints the key identifier to standard output and creates public and private keyfiles whose names are based on the key identifier and the filename extensions .key and .private. It creates both files even when using an asymmetric algorithm, such as HMAC-MD5. For more information on Secure DNS, see DNS and BIND (O'Reilly), or read RFC 2535.
