NAME
dnssec-verify - DNSSEC zone verification tool
SYNOPSIS
dnssec-verify
[ -c class] [-E engine]
[-I input-format]
[-o origin] [ -v level]
[-V] [-x] [-z] {zonefile}
DESCRIPTION
dnssec-verify verifies that a zone is fully signed for each algorithm
found in the DNSKEY RRset for the zone, and that the NSEC / NSEC3 chains are
complete.
OPTIONS
-c
class
Specifies the DNS class of the zone.
-E
engine
Specifies the cryptographic hardware to use,
when applicable.
When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults to the string
"pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine that can drive a
cryptographic accelerator or hardware service module. When BIND is built with
native PKCS#11 cryptography (--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path
of the PKCS#11 provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".
-I
input-format
The format of the input zone file. Possible
formats are "text" (default) and "raw". 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 verified
independently. The use of this option does not make much sense for non-dynamic
zones.
-o
origin
The zone origin. If not specified, the name of
the zone file is assumed to be the origin.
-v
level
Sets the debugging level.
-V
Prints version information.
-x
Only verify that the DNSKEY RRset is signed
with key-signing keys. Without this flag, it is assumed that the DNSKEY RRset
will be signed by all active keys. When this flag is set, it will not be an
error if the DNSKEY RRset is not signed by zone-signing keys. This corresponds
to the -x option in dnssec-signzone.
-z
Ignore the KSK flag on the keys when
determining whether the zone if correctly signed. Without this flag it is
assumed that there will be a non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY with the KSK flag
set for each algorithm and that RRsets other than DNSKEY RRset will be signed
with a different DNSKEY without the KSK flag set.
With this flag set, we only require that for each algorithm, there will be at
least one non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY, regardless of the KSK flag state,
and that other RRsets will be signed by a non-revoked key for the same
algorithm that includes the self-signed key; the same key may be used for both
purposes. This corresponds to the
-z option in
dnssec-signzone.
zonefile
The file containing the zone to be
signed.
