dnssec-verify(8) BIND9 dnssec-verify(8)
NAME
dnssec-verify - DNSSEC zone verification tool
SYNOPSIS
dnssec-verify [-c class] [-E engine] [-I input-format] [-o origin]
[-v level] [-x] [-z] {zonefile}
DESCRIPTION
dnssec-verify verifies that a zone is fully signed for each algorithm
found in the DNSKEY RRset for the zone, and that the NSEC / NSEC3
chains are complete.
OPTIONS
-c class
Specifies the DNS class of the zone.
-I input-format
The format of the input zone file. Possible formats are "text"
(default) and "raw". This option is primarily intended to be used
for dynamic signed zones so that the dumped zone file in a non-text
format containing updates can be verified independently. The use of
this option does not make much sense for non-dynamic zones.
-o origin
The zone origin. If not specified, the name of the zone file is
assumed to be the origin.
-v level
Sets the debugging level.
-x
Only verify that the DNSKEY RRset is signed with key-signing keys.
Without this flag, it is assumed that the DNSKEY RRset will be
signed by all active keys. When this flag is set, it will not be an
error if the DNSKEY RRset is not signed by zone-signing keys. This
corresponds to the -x option in dnssec-signzone.
-z
Ignore the KSK flag on the keys when determining whether the zone
if correctly signed. Without this flag it is assumed that there
will be a non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY with the KSK flag set for
each algorithm and that RRsets other than DNSKEY RRset will be
signed with a different DNSKEY without the KSK flag set.
With this flag set, we only require that for each algorithm, there
will be at least one non-revoked, self-signed DNSKEY, regardless of
the KSK flag state, and that other RRsets will be signed by a
non-revoked key for the same algorithm that includes the
self-signed key; the same key may be used for both purposes. This
corresponds to the -z option in dnssec-signzone.
zonefile
The file containing the zone to be signed.
