4594. [func] dnssec-keygen no longer uses RSASHA1 by default;
the signing algorithm must be specified on
the command line with the "-a" option. Signing
scripts that rely on the existing default behavior
will break; use "dnssec-keygen -a RSASHA1" to
repair them. (The goal of this change is to make
it easier to find scripts using RSASHA1 so they
can be changed in the event of that algorithm
being deprecated in the future.) [RT #44755]
This is to be consistent with our common usage of just using a
plural "s" without apostrophe.
This was brought up via discussion in ticket 37505.
I didn't have this reviewed.
3730. [cleanup] Added "never" as a synonym for "none" when
configuring key event dates in the dnssec tools.
[RT #35277]
3729. [bug] dnssec-kegeyn could set the publication date
incorrectly when only the activation date was
specified on the command line. [RT #35278]
3705. [func] "configure --enable-native-pkcs11" enables BIND
to use the PKCS#11 API for all cryptographic
functions, so that it can drive a hardware service
module directly without the need to use a modified
OpenSSL as intermediary (so long as the HSM's vendor
provides a complete-enough implementation of the
PKCS#11 interface). This has been tested successfully
with the Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from
the OpenDNSSEC project. [RT #29031]
- Keys without "publish" or "active" dates set will
no longer be used for smart signing. However,
those dates will be set to "now" by default when
a key is created; to generate a key but not use
it yet, use dnssec-keygen -G.
- New "inactive" date (dnssec-keygen/settime -I)
sets the time when a key is no longer used for
signing but is still published.
- The "unpublished" date (-U) is deprecated in
favor of "deleted" (-D).
[rt20247]
- dnssec-keygen and dnssec-settime can now set key
metadata fields 0 (to unset a value, use "none")
- dnssec-revoke sets the revocation date in
addition to the revoke bit
- dnssec-settime can now print individual metadata
fields instead of always printing all of them,
and can print them in unix epoch time format for
use by scripts
[RT #19942]
dnssec-* tools. Major changes:
- all dnssec-* tools now take a -K option to
specify a directory in which key files will be
stored
- DNSSEC can now store metadata indicating when
they are scheduled to be published, acttivated,
revoked or removed; these values can be set by
dnssec-keygen or overwritten by the new
dnssec-settime command
- dnssec-signzone -S (for "smart") option reads key
metadata and uses it to determine automatically
which keys to publish to the zone, use for
signing, revoke, or remove from the zone
[RT #19816]
dnssec-keygen. Without arguments, it will now
generate a 1024-bit RSASHA1 zone-signing key,
or with the -f KSK option, a 2048-bit RSASHA1
key-signing key. [RT #19300]
2611. [func] Add -l option to dnssec-dsfromkey to generate
DLV records instead of DS records. [RT #19300]
