Overview
dnssec-revoke reads a DNSSEC key file, sets the REVOKED bit on the key as defined in RFC 5011 <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5011.html>, 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-revoketo 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.
