NAME

dnssec-revoke − set the REVOKED bit on a DNSSEC key

SYNOPSIS

dnssec−revoke [−hr] [−v level] [−V] [−K directory] [−E engine] [−f] [−R] {keyfile}

DESCRIPTION

dnssec−revoke reads a DNSSEC key file, sets the REVOKED bit on the key as defined in RFC 5011, and creates a new pair of key files containing the now−revoked key.

OPTIONS

−h

This option emits a usage message and exits.

−K directory

This option sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.

−r

This option indicates to remove the original keyset files after writing the new keyset files.

−v level

This option sets the debugging level.

−V

This option prints version information.

−E engine

This option specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable.

When BIND 9 is built with OpenSSL, this needs to be set to the OpenSSL engine identifier that drives the cryptographic accelerator or hardware service module (usually pkcs11).

	−f		This option indicates a forced overwrite and causes dnssec−revoke to write the new key pair, even if a file already exists matching the algorithm and key ID of the revoked key.
	−R		This option prints the key tag of the key with the REVOKE bit set, but does not revoke the key.
