opendnssec - Open-source turn-key solution for DNSSEC signing of zones
- Description:
OpenDNSSEC was created as an open-source turn-key solution for DNSSEC.
It secures zone data just before it is published in an authoritative
name server. OpenDNSSEC takes in unsigned zones, adds the signatures
and other records for DNSSEC and passes it on to the authoritative name
servers for that zone. DNS is complicated, and so is digital signing;
their combination in DNSSEC is of course complex as well. The idea of
OpenDNSSEC is to handle such difficulties, to relieve the administrator
of them after a one-time effort for setting it up. The storage of keys
is done through a PKCS #11 standard interface. To deploy OpenDNSSEC, an
implementation of this interface is needed, for example a software
library, an HSM or perhaps a simpler token.
