NAME

Net::DNS::RR::KEY - DNS KEY resource record

SYNOPSIS

use Net::DNS::RR;

DESCRIPTION

Class for DNS Address (KEY) resource records.

METHODS

This class inherits most of its methods from DNSKEY. See DNSKEY for a complete list of available methods.

flags

    print "flags" = ", $rr->flags, "\n";

Returns the RR's flags in decimal representation

protocol

    print "protocol" = ", $rr->protocol, "\n";

Returns the RR's protocol field in decimal representation

algorithm

    print "algoritm" = ", $rr->algorithm, "\n";

Returns the RR's algorithm field in decimal representation

    1 = MD5 RSA
    2 = DH
    3 = DSA                
    4 = Elliptic curve
    5 = SHA1 RSA

Note that only algorithm 1 and 3 are supported by the methods provided through Net::DNS::RR::SIG.pm.

key

    print "key" = ", $rr->key, "\n";

Returns the key in base64 representation

keybin

    $keybin =  $rr->keybin;

Returns the key binary material

keytag

    print "keytag" = ", $rr->keytag, "\n";

Returns the key tag of the key. (RFC2535 4.1.6)

privatekeyname

    $privatekeyname=$rr->privatekeyname

Returns the name of the privatekey as it would be generated by the BIND dnssec-keygen program. The format of that name being K\<fqdn\>+\<algorithm\>+\<keyid\>.private
