TSIG-KEYGEN(8)                      BIND 9                      TSIG-KEYGEN(8)

NAME
       tsig-keygen - TSIG key generation tool

SYNOPSIS
       tsig-keygen [-a algorithm] [-h] [name]

DESCRIPTION
       tsig-keygen is an utility that generates keys for use with TSIG (Trans-
       action Signatures) as defined in RFC 2845. The resulting  keys  can  be
       used,  for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone, or for the
       rndc command channel.

       A domain name can be specified on the command line to be  used  as  the
       name  of  the  generated  key.  If no name is specified, the default is
       tsig-key.

OPTIONS
       -a algorithm
              This option specifies the algorithm to use  for  the  TSIG  key.
              Available   choices   are:   hmac-md5,  hmac-sha1,  hmac-sha224,
              hmac-sha256,  hmac-sha384,  and  hmac-sha512.  The  default   is
              hmac-sha256.  Options are case-insensitive, and the "hmac-" pre-
              fix may be omitted.

       -h     This option prints a short summary of options and arguments.
