<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>
      signs a zone.  It generates
      NSEC and RRSIG records and produces a signed version of the
      zone. The security status of delegations from the signed zone
      (that is, whether the child zones are secure or not) is
      determined by the presence or absence of a
      <code class="filename">keyset</code> file for each child zone.
    </p>

            Uses a crypto hardware (OpenSSL engine) for the crypto operations
            it supports, for instance signing with private keys from
            a secure key store. When compiled with PKCS#11 support
            it defaults to pkcs11; the empty name resets it to no engine.

<dt><span class="term">-g</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            Generate DS records for child zones from
            <code class="filename">dsset-</code> or <code class="filename">keyset-</code>
            file.  Existing DS records will be removed.

<dd><p>
            Key repository: Specify a directory to search for DNSSEC keys.

<dd><p>
            Treat specified key as a key signing key ignoring any

<dd><p>
            Generate a DLV set in addition to the key (DNSKEY) and DS sets.

<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>start-time</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records
            become valid.  This can be either an absolute or relative
            time.  An absolute start time is indicated by a number
            in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500 denotes
            14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000.  A relative start time is
            indicated by +N, which is N seconds from the current time.
            If no <code class="option">start-time</code> is specified, the current
            time minus 1 hour (to allow for clock skew) is used.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-e <em class="replaceable"><code>end-time</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records
            expire.  As with <code class="option">start-time</code>, an absolute
            time is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation.  A time relative
            to the start time is indicated with +N, which is N seconds from
            the start time.  A time relative to the current time is
            indicated with now+N.  If no <code class="option">end-time</code> is
            specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a default.
            <code class="option">end-time</code> must be later than
            <code class="option">start-time</code>.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-f <em class="replaceable"><code>output-file</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The name of the output file containing the signed zone.  The
            default is to append <code class="filename">.signed</code> to
            the
            input filename.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
            <span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-i <em class="replaceable"><code>interval</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
            When a previously-signed zone is passed as input, records
            may be resigned.  The <code class="option">interval</code> option
            specifies the cycle interval as an offset from the current
            time (in seconds).  If a RRSIG record expires after the
            cycle interval, it is retained.  Otherwise, it is considered
            to be expiring soon, and it will be replaced.
          </p>
<p>
            The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference
            between the signature end and start times.  So if neither
            <code class="option">end-time</code> or <code class="option">start-time</code>
            are specified, <span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span>
            generates
            signatures that are valid for 30 days, with a cycle
            interval of 7.5 days.  Therefore, if any existing RRSIG records
            are due to expire in less than 7.5 days, they would be
            replaced.
          </p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-I <em class="replaceable"><code>input-format</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The format of the input zone file.
	    Possible formats are <span><strong class="command">"text"</strong></span> (default)
	    and <span><strong class="command">"raw"</strong></span>.
	    This option is primarily intended to be used for dynamic
            signed zones so that the dumped zone file in a non-text
            format containing updates can be signed directly.
	    The use of this option does not make much sense for
	    non-dynamic zones.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-j <em class="replaceable"><code>jitter</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
            When signing a zone with a fixed signature lifetime, all
            RRSIG records issued at the time of signing expires
            simultaneously.  If the zone is incrementally signed, i.e.
            a previously-signed zone is passed as input to the signer,
            all expired signatures have to be regenerated at about the
            same time.  The <code class="option">jitter</code> option specifies a
            jitter window that will be used to randomize the signature
            expire time, thus spreading incremental signature
            regeneration over time.
          </p>
<p>
            Signature lifetime jitter also to some extent benefits
            validators and servers by spreading out cache expiration,
            i.e. if large numbers of RRSIGs don't expire at the same time
            from all caches there will be less congestion than if all
            validators need to refetch at mostly the same time.
          </p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-n <em class="replaceable"><code>ncpus</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            Specifies the number of threads to use.  By default, one
            thread is started for each detected CPU.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-N <em class="replaceable"><code>soa-serial-format</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
            The SOA serial number format of the signed zone.
	    Possible formats are <span><strong class="command">"keep"</strong></span> (default),
            <span><strong class="command">"increment"</strong></span> and

<dt><span class="term">-o <em class="replaceable"><code>origin</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The zone origin.  If not specified, the name of the zone file
            is assumed to be the origin.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-O <em class="replaceable"><code>output-format</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
            The format of the output file containing the signed zone.
	    Possible formats are <span><strong class="command">"text"</strong></span> (default)
	    and <span><strong class="command">"raw"</strong></span>.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-p</span></dt>
<dd><p>
            Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone.  This is faster,
            but less secure, than using real random data.  This option
            may be useful when signing large zones or when the entropy
            source is limited.
          </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-P</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
	    Disable post sign verification tests.
          </p>
<p>
	    The post sign verification test ensures that for each algorithm
	    in use there is at least one non revoked self signed KSK key,

<p>
      The following command signs the <strong class="userinput"><code>example.com</code></strong>
      zone with the DSA key generated by <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>
      (Kexample.com.+003+17247).  Because the <span><strong class="command">-S</strong></span> option
      is not being used, the zone's keys must be in the master file
      (<code class="filename">db.example.com</code>).  This invocation looks
      for <code class="filename">dsset</code> files, in the current directory,
      so that DS records can be imported from them (<span><strong class="command">-g</strong></span>).
    </p>
<pre class="programlisting">% dnssec-signzone -g -o example.com db.example.com \
Kexample.com.+003+17247
db.example.com.signed
%</pre>
<p>
      In the above example, <span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span> creates
      the file <code class="filename">db.example.com.signed</code>.  This
      file should be referenced in a zone statement in a
      <code class="filename">named.conf</code> file.
    </p>
<p>
      This example re-signs a previously signed zone with default parameters.
      The private keys are assumed to be in the current directory.
    </p>
