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.
