tsig-keygen − TSIG key generation tool
tsig−keygen [−a algorithm] [−h] [name]
tsig−keygen is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing. The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone, or for the rndc command channel.
A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name of the generated key. If no name is specified, the default is tsig−key.
−a algorithm
This option specifies the algorithm to use for the TSIG key. Available choices are: hmac−md5, hmac−sha1, hmac−sha224, hmac−sha256, hmac−sha384, and hmac−sha512. The default is hmac−sha256. Options are case−insensitive, and the "hmac−" prefix may be omitted.
