NAME

       curvedns-keygen - Generates a key pair for curvedns

SYNOPSIS

       curvedns-keygen

       curvedns-keygen path-of-CurveDNS-installation authoritative-name-server-name

DESCRIPTION

       curvedns-keygen(1)  is  used  to generate a keypair for use with curvedns(8). This command
       can be run in two different forms.

       In the first form curvedns-keygen is  run  without  parameters  and  prints  the  keys  to
       standard output. An example output looks as follows:

       In  the  second form, curvedns-keygen writes the secret key to a file that is suitable for
       use    with    the    daemontools    service    manager    in    a     subdirectory     of
       path-of-CurveDNS-installation.   It   formats   the   output   to   already   include  the
       authoritative-name-server-name  combined  with  the  DNSCurve  public  key  suitable   for
       publication in the NS set of a DNS zone.

       Note:  On  Debian  users normally don't need to run this command as a key is automatically
       generated during package installation. See /usr/share/doc/curvedns/README.Debian for  more
       information.
