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
