<A NAME="Usage"><H3>Definition and Usage</H3></A>
|
|
|
|
<P>The <CODE>key</CODE> statement defines a key ID which can be used
|
|
in a <A HREF="server.html"><CODE>server</CODE></A> statement to
|
|
associate an authentication method with a particular name server.
|
|
|
|
<P>A key ID must be created with the <CODE>key</CODE>
|
|
statement before it can be used in a <CODE>server</CODE>
|
|
definition or an address match list.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>The <VAR>algorithm_id</VAR> is a string that specifies a
|
|
security/authentication algorithm.
|
|
<VAR>secret_string</VAR> is the secret to be used by the algorithm,
|
|
and is treated as a base-64 encoded string.
|
|
|
|
<P>The <CODE>key</CODE> statement is intended for use in transaction
|
|
security. Unless included in a <A HREF="server.html"><CODE>server</CODE></A>
|
|
statement, it is not used to sign any requests. It is used to verify
|
|
requests matching the <VAR>key_id</VAR> and <VAR>algorithm_id</VAR>,
|
|
and sign replies to those requests.
