Net::DNS::SEC - DNSSEC extensions to Net::DNS ============================================= 1. DESCRIPTION ----------- This module is designed as an extension the Net::DNS package (https://metacpan.org/release/Net-DNS). The module implements the cryptographic signature generation and verification functions that are relevant for DNSSEC operations. ** ** *************** ** ** WARNING ** ** *************** ** THE USE AND/OR HANDLING OF STRONG ENCRYPTION TECHNOLOGIES IS ** PROHIBITED OR SEVERELY RESTRICTED IN MANY TERRITORIES. ** PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL POSITION ** IN YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THIS MODULE OR ** ANY OF THE PREREQUISITE CRYPTOGRAPHY PACKAGES. ** Net::DNS::SEC also provides a class for handling keysets. Keysets are administrative files used by the BIND tools for key maintenance tasks. Net::DNS::SEC::Keyset provides an abstract interface for doing fun things with them. See also the 'pod' documentation in: Net::DNS::RR::DNSKEY Net::DNS::RR::DS Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG Net::DNS::SEC::Private and for the use of SIG0 see: Net::DNS::Packet (sign_sig0) Net::DNS::RR::SIG 2. AVAILABILITY ------------ You can get the latest version of Net::DNS::SEC from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN): https://metacpan.org/release/Net-DNS-SEC or through http://www.net-dns.org/ Additionally a subversion repository is made available through http://www.net-dns.org/svn/net-dns-sec/ The version on the "trunk" (http://www.net-dns.org/svn/net-dns-sec/trunk) is the version that is targeted for next release. Please note that the SVN version at any given moment may be broken. 3. PREREQUISITES ------------- This package relies on Net-DNS version 1.01 or later which has features specifically designed to support Net::DNS::SEC. The availability of prerequisites for Net::DNS::SEC is tested at installation time. These are the packages that need to be available: File::Find File::Spec MIME::Base64 Test::More The cryptographic heavy lifting is performed using the OpenSSL libcrypto library distributed under separate license. You will also require a C compiler. 4. INSTALLATION ------------ Please install any modules mentioned in the PREREQUISITES section above. When you run "perl Makefile.PL", Perl should complain if any of the required modules is missing. To build this module, run the following commands: tar xvzf Net-DNS-SEC-1.??.tar.gz cd Net-DNS-SEC-1.?? perl Makefile.PL make make test make install 'make test' will do some tests that should all succeed once all dependencies are satisfied. Please report any failure during the test phase. Alternatively, install the package using CPAN: perl -MCPAN -e shell; cpan> install Net::DNS::SEC To build the libcrypto library, run the following: tar xvzf openssl-3.*.tar.gz cd openssl-3.* ./config shared make # require only libcrypto.so* and include/openssl/*.h 5. MAINTENANCE ----------- Please use the CPAN request tracker to report bugs in the extensions. The request tracker is available through: https://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Net-DNS-SEC 6. STAYING UP TO DATE ------------------ Announcements about Net::DNS::SEC will be published on http://www.net-dns.org/blog/. An RSS feed is available. 7. DEMOS ----- demo/getkeyset.pl A small demonstration program that will fetch the keyset for a specified domain, store the keys and print DS RRs to STDOUT. demo/key2ds Reads the key data from STDIN and prints the corresponding DS record on STDOUT. Contributed by Miek Gieben demo/make-signed-keyset Creates a self-signed keyset from a BIND public key specified on the command line. Contributed by Wes Griffin 8. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ---------------- Thanks are due to Eric Young and the many developers and contributors to the OpenSSL project and cryptographic library. 9.
