DNSSEC-REVOKE(1) BIND 9 DNSSEC-REVOKE(1)

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.
