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.
