NAME

       getds - Create a DS record from DNSKEYing information

SYNOPSIS

         getds <domain>

DESCRIPTION

       getds will create a DS record from DNSKEYs for the specified DNS domain.  It does this by
       converting DNSKEYs to DS records using the specified hashing algorithm.  The results can
       then be passed to upstream DNSSEC-supporting parents or to DLV registries.

       getds will also pull the parent's published DS records and compare them against the
       existing keys.  It will then list any DS records not published in the parent, as well as
       any DS records that are published in the parent but which don't match an existing key.

OPTIONS

       getds takes the following options:

       -a ALGORITHMS
       --hash-algorithm algorithm ALGORITHMS
           This option specifies the hash algorithm to use when converting DNSKEYs to DS records.
           It may be a comma-separated list if multiple algorithms are desired.  The algorithms
           to choose from may be either SHA256 or SHA1.

           The default is SHA256,SHA1

       -f KEYFILE
       --read-key-file KEYFILE
           This option specifies a file with a DNSKEY stored in it (such as created by bind's
           dnssec-keygen program).  This is helpful for comparing a known good key file against
           something that is actually published.

       -z
       --print-zsks
           This option causes getds to print ZSK DS records, as well as KSK records.

       -p
       --dont-check-parent
           Instructs getds to not check the records in the parent for their published DS records.

       -q
       --quiet
           Produces quiet output with no explanatory headers.  In other words, it only prints the
           DS records generated from the DNSKEYs.

           Note: Running with -q implies -p.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

       By default, getds pulls data from the live DNS.  If your DNS resolver isn't configured so
       that this is pulled securely, then the results can't be trusted.
