## Name

dnssec-revoke — set the REVOKED bit on a DNSSEC key

## Synopsis

`dnssec-revoke` [`-hr`] [`-v `level``] [`-V`] [`-K `directory``] [`-E `engine``] [`-f`] [`-R`] {keyfile}

## DESCRIPTION

dnssec-revoke reads a DNSSEC key file, sets the REVOKED bit on the key as defined in RFC 5011, and creates a new pair of key files containing the now-revoked key.

## OPTIONS

-h

  Emit usage message and exit.

-K `directory`

  Sets the directory in which the key files are to reside.

-r

  After writing the new keyset files remove the original keyset files.

-v `level`

  Sets the debugging level.

-V

  Prints version information.

-E `engine`

  Specifies the cryptographic hardware to use, when applicable.

  When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults to the string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service module. When BIND is built with native PKCS#11 cryptography (--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#11 provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".

-f

  Force overwrite: Causes dnssec-revoke to write the new key pair even if a file already exists matching the algorithm and key ID of the revoked key.

-R

  Print the key tag of the key with the REVOKE bit set but do not revoke the key.
