RR::DNSKEY(3)

NAME
Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY - DNS DNSKEY resource record

SYNOPSIS
"use Net::DNS::RR;"

DESCRIPTION
Class for DNSSEC KEY (DNSKEY) resource records.

METHODS

  flags
    print "flags" = ", $rr->flags, "\n";

Returns the RR's flags in decimal representation

  protocol
    print "protocol" = ", $rr->protocol, "\n";

Returns the RR's protocol field in decimal representation

  algorithm
    print "algoritm" = ", $rr->algorithm, "\n";

Returns the RR's algorithm field in decimal representation

    1 = RSA/MD5
    2 = DH
    3 = DSA/SHA-1
    4 = Elliptic Curve
    5 = RSA/SHA-1
    6 - DSA/SHA-1 (NSEC3)
    7 - RSA/SHA-1 (NSEC3)
    8 - RSA/SHA-256
    10 - RSA/SHA-512

Note that only algorithm 1 and 3 are supported by the methods provided through Net::DNS::RR::SIG.pm.

  key
    print "key" = ", $rr->key, "\n";

Returns the key in base64 representation

  keybin
    $keybin =  $rr->keybin;

Returns the key binary material

  keytag
    print "keytag" = ", $rr->keytag, "\n";

Returns the key tag of the key. (RFC2535 4.1.6)

  privatekeyname
    $privatekeyname=$rr->privatekeyname

Returns the name of the privatekey as it would be generated by the BIND dnssec-keygen program. The format of that name being K\<fqdn\>+\<algorithm\>+\<keyid\>.private

  is_sep, set_sep, clear_sep
is_sep() returns 1 if the secure entry point flag field is set, set_sep() sets secure entry point flag field is set and clear_sep() clears the value.

  keylength
Return the length of a key.

For RSA this method returns the length (in bits) of the modulus.

For DSA this method returnse the value of the T parameter (See RFC2536)

Returns -1 if the keysize cannot be determined (e.g. for unknown algorithms algorithm).
