NAME
Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG - DNS RRSIG resource record
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS;
$rr = new Net::DNS::RR('name RRSIG typecovered algorithm labels
orgttl sigexpiration siginception
keytag signame signature');
$rrsig = create Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG( \@rrset, $keypath,
sigin => 20130701010101
);
$sigrr->verify( \@rrset, $keyrr ) || croak $sigrr->vrfyerrstr;
DESCRIPTION
Class for DNS digital signature (RRSIG) resource records.
In addition to the regular methods inherited from Net::DNS::RR the class contains a method to sign RRsets
using private keys (create) and a method for verifying signatures over RRsets (verify).
The RRSIG RR is an implementation of RFC4034. See Net::DNS::RR::SIG for an implementation of SIG0
(RFC2931).
METHODS
The available methods are those inherited from the base class augmented by the type-specific methods
defined in this package.
Use of undocumented package features or direct access to internal data structures is discouraged and
could result in program termination or other unpredictable behaviour.
typecovered
$typecovered = $rr->typecovered;
The typecovered field identifies the type of the RRset that is covered by this RRSIG record.
algorithm
$algorithm = $rr->algorithm;
The algorithm number field identifies the cryptographic algorithm used to create the signature.
algorithm() may also be invoked as a class method or simple function to perform mnemonic and numeric code
translation.
labels
$labels = $rr->labels;
$rr->labels( $labels );
The labels field specifies the number of labels in the original RRSIG RR owner name.
orgttl
$orgttl = $rr->orgttl;
$rr->orgttl( $orgttl );
The original TTL field specifies the TTL of the covered RRset as it appears in the authoritative zone.
sigexpiration and siginception time
$expiration = $rr->sigexpiration;
$inception = $rr->siginception;
The signature expiration and inception fields specify a validity time interval for the signature.
The value may be specified by a string with format 'yyyymmddhhmmss' or a Perl time() value.
keytag
$keytag = $rr->keytag;
$rr->keytag( $keytag );
The keytag field contains the key tag value of the DNSKEY RR that validates this signature.
signame
$signame = $rr->signame;
The signer name field value identifies the owner name of the DNSKEY RR that a validator is supposed to
use to validate this signature.
signature
$signature = $rr->signature;
The Signature field contains the cryptographic signature that covers the RRSIG RDATA (excluding the
Signature field) and the RRset specified by the RRSIG owner name, RRSIG class, and RRSIG type covered
fields.
sigbin
$sigbin = $rr->sigbin;
$rr->sigbin( $sigbin );
Binary representation of the cryptographic signature.
create
Create a signature over a RR set.
use Net::DNS::SEC;
$keypath = '/home/olaf/keys/Kbla.foo.+001+60114.private';
$sigrr = create Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG( \@datarrset, $keypath );
$sigrr = create Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG( \@datarrset, $keypath,
sigin => 20130701010101
);
$sigrr->print;
#Alternatively use Net::DNS::SEC::Private
$private = Net::DNS::SEC::Private->new($keypath);
$sigrr= create Net::DNS::RR::RRSIG( \@datarrset, $private );
create() is an alternative constructor for a RRSIG RR object.
This method returns an RRSIG with the signature over the datarrset (an array of RRs) made with the
private key stored in the key file.
The first argument is a reference to an array that contains the RRset that needs to be signed.
The second argument is a string which specifies the path to a file containing the private key as
generated by dnssec-keygen.
The optional remaining arguments consist of ( name => value ) pairs as follows:
sigin => 20130701010101, # signature inception
sigex => 20130731010101, # signature expiration
sigval => 30, # signature validity
ttl => 3600 # TTL
The sigin and sigex values may be specified as Perl time values or as a string with the format
'yyyymmddhhmmss'. The default for sigin is the time of signing.
The sigval argument specifies the signature validity window in days ( sigex = sigin + sigval ). Sigval
wins if sigex is also specified.
By default the signature is valid for 30 days.
By default the TTL matches the RRSet that is presented for signing.
Only RSA signatures (algorithms 1,5,7,8 and 10) and DSA signatures (algorithms 3 and 6) have been
implemented.
verify and vrfyerrstr
$sigrr->verify( $dataref, $keyrr ) || croak $sigrr->vrfyerrstr;
$sigrr->verify( $dataref, [$keyrr, $keyrr2, $keyrr3] ) ||
croak $sigrr->vrfyerrstr;
$dataref contains a reference to an array of RR objects and the method verifies the RRset against the
signature contained in the $sigrr object itself using the public key in $keyrr.
The second argument can either be a Net::DNS::RR::KEYRR object or a reference to an array of such
objects. Verification will return successful as soon as one of the keys in the array leads to positive
validation.
Returns 0 on error and sets $sig->vrfyerrstr
Example
print $sigrr->vrfyerrstr unless $sigrr->verify( $rrset, $keyrr );
KEY GENERATION
Private key files and corresponding public DNSKEY records are most conveniently generated using dnssec-
keygen, a program that comes with the ISC BIND distribution.
dnssec-keygen -a 10 -b 2048 -f ksk rsa.example.
dnssec-keygen -a 10 -b 1024 rsa.example.com.
dnssec-keygen -a 14 -f ksk ecdsa.example.
dnssec-keygen -a 14 ecdsa.example.
Do not change the name of the file generated by dnssec-keygen. The create method uses the filename to
determine the keyowner, algorithm and the keyid (keytag).
REMARKS
The code is not optimized for speed. It is probably not suitable to be used for signing large zones.
If this code is still around in 2100 (not a leapyear) you will need to check for proper handling of times
