nsec3hash(8) BIND 9 nsec3hash(8)
NAME
nsec3hash - generate NSEC3 hash
SYNOPSIS
nsec3hash {salt} {algorithm} {iterations} {domain}
nsec3hash -r {algorithm} {flags} {iterations} {salt} {domain}
DESCRIPTION
nsec3hash generates an NSEC3 hash based on a set of NSEC3 parameters.
This can be used to check the validity of NSEC3 records in a signed
zone.
If this command is invoked as nsec3hash -r, it takes arguments in an
order matching the first four fields of an NSEC3 record, followed by
the domain name: algorithm, flags, iterations, salt, domain. This makes
it convenient to copy and paste a portion of an NSEC3 or NSEC3PARAM
record into a command line to confirm the correctness of an NSEC3 hash.
ARGUMENTS
salt The salt provided to the hash algorithm.
algorithm
A number indicating the hash algorithm. Currently the only sup-
ported hash algorithm for NSEC3 is SHA-1, which is indicated by
the number 1; consequently "1" is the only useful value for this
argument.
flags Provided for compatibility with NSEC3 record presentation for-
mat, but ignored since the flags do not affect the hash.
iterations
The number of additional times the hash should be performed.
domain The domain name to be hashed.
