Dear Team,

 

I am using RSASHA1 key generation algorithm for generating the KSK and ZSK.

 

Today, I tried to generate the algorithm using RSASHA512 and HMAC-SHA256
algorithm.

Key generation through RSASHA512 algorithm run successfully but while
generating the keys through HMAC-SHA512 algorithm, I am getting the
following error -

 

"dnssec-keygen: fatal: a key with algorithm 'HMAC-SHA512' cannot be a zone
key"

 

I googled it and find a previous discussion on BIND Mailing list that HMAC-*
is used for generating keys for Host and not for Zone.

 

I have doubt in this only. What's the difference between Zone or Host ?? Is
it key generation for one client machine or what ?

 

I also want to know which algorithm is the best one on security aspects for
generating Keys for DNSSEC.

 

 

Thanks and Regards,

Gaurav Kansal

Have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
