4757. [func] New "dnssec-cds" command creates a new parent DS
RRset based on CDS or CDNSKEY RRsets found in
a child zone, and generates either a dsset file
or stream of nsupdate commands to update the
parent. Thanks to Tony Finch. [RT #46090]
4724. [func] By default, BIND now uses the random number
functions provided by the crypto library (i.e.,
OpenSSL or a PKCS#11 provider) as a source of
randomness rather than /dev/random. This is
suitable for virtual machine environments
which have limited entropy pools and lack
hardware random number generators.
This can be overridden by specifying another
entropy source via the "random-device" option
in named.conf, or via the -r command line option;
however, for functions requiring full cryptographic
strength, such as DNSSEC key generation, this
cannot be overridden. In particular, the -r
command line option no longer has any effect on
dnssec-keygen.
This can be disabled by building with
"configure --disable-crypto-rand".

3730. [cleanup] Added "never" as a synonym for "none" when
configuring key event dates in the dnssec tools.
[RT #35277]
3729. [bug] dnssec-kegeyn could set the publication date
incorrectly when only the activation date was
specified on the command line. [RT #35278]
- check for NSEC3 in empty nodes when not due to optout delegations
- fixed typo in output ("Bad record NSEC record")
- incidentally fixed an error in signzone that caused an
incorrect warning about missing DNSKEYs when using -S
and -3 together
3473. [bug] dnssec-signzone/verify could incorrectly report
an error condition due to an empty node above an
opt-out delegation lacking an NSEC3. [RT #32072]
creating key files if there is a chance that the new
key ID will collide with an existing one after
either of the keys has been revoked. (To override
this in the case of dnssec-keyfromlabel, use the -y
option. dnssec-keygen will simply create a
different, noncolliding key, so an override is
not necessary.) [RT #20838]
will now ignore unrecognized fields when the
minor version number of the private key format
has been increased. It will reject any key with
the major version number increased. [RT #20310]
to be fully automated in zones configured for
dynamic DNS. 'auto-dnssec allow;' permits a zone
to be signed by creating keys for it in the
key-directory and using 'rndc sign <zone>'.
'auto-dnssec maintain;' allows that too, plus it
also keeps the zone's DNSSEC keys up to date
according to their timing metadata. [RT #19943]
- dnssec-keygen and dnssec-settime can now set key
metadata fields 0 (to unset a value, use "none")
- dnssec-revoke sets the revocation date in
addition to the revoke bit
- dnssec-settime can now print individual metadata
fields instead of always printing all of them,
and can print them in unix epoch time format for
use by scripts
[RT #19942]
dnssec-* tools. Major changes:
- all dnssec-* tools now take a -K option to
specify a directory in which key files will be
stored
- DNSSEC can now store metadata indicating when
they are scheduled to be published, acttivated,
revoked or removed; these values can be set by
dnssec-keygen or overwritten by the new
dnssec-settime command
- dnssec-signzone -S (for "smart") option reads key
metadata and uses it to determine automatically
which keys to publish to the zone, use for
signing, revoke, or remove from the zone
[RT #19816]
dnssec-signzone. These can be disabled with -P.
The post sign verification test ensures that for each
algorithm in use there is at least one non revoked
self signed KSK key. That all revoked KSK keys are
self signed. That all records in the zone are signed
by the algorithm. [RT #19653]
