NAME

Net::DNS::SEC - DNSSEC extensions to Net::DNS

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::DNS::SEC;

DESCRIPTION

The Net::DNS::SEC suite provides the additional DNS resource records required to support DNSSEC as described in RFC4033, 4034, 4035 and subsequent related documents.

Net::DNS::SEC is installed as an extension to an existing Net::DNS installation.

The extended package features are made visible by substituting Net::DNS::SEC for Net::DNS in the use declaration.

UTILITY FUNCTIONS

algorithm

    $mnemonic = algorithm( 5 );
    $numeric  = algorithm( 'RSA-SHA1' );
    print "algorithm mnemonic\t", $mnemonic, "\n";
    print "algorithm number:\t",  $numeric,  "\n";

algorithm() provides conversions between an algorithm code number and the corresponding mnemonic.

digtype

    $mnemonic = digtype( 2 );
    $numeric  = digtype( 'SHA-256' );
    print "digest type mnemonic\t", $mnemonic, "\n";
    print "digest type number:\t",  $numeric,  "\n";

digtype() provides conversions between a digest type number and the corresponding mnemonic.

key_difference

    @result = key_difference( \@a, \@b );

Fills @result with all keys in array @a that are not in array @b.
