# The security/zkt port

## zkt-1.1.4p4 – DNSsec Zone Key Tool

## Description

    ZKT (Zone Key Tool) manages keys and signatures for DNSSEC-zones.
    It consists of four commands:

    zkt-conf, to manage the config file
    zkt-ls, to list dnssec zone keys
    zkt-keyman, to manage dnssec zone keys manually (seldom used)
    zkt-signer, to sign a zone and manage the lifetime and rollover of the
    zone signing keys

    Most of the commands are simple wrapper commands around BIND's
    dnssec-keygen(8) and dnssec-signzone(8) commands.

    Warning: ZKT is old and doesn't seem to be very actively maintained -
    it might not work with current versions of BIND tools. Users looking
    to setup DNSSEC should look elsewhere, either higher-level tools like
    opendnssec or the built-in support in PowerDNS authoritative server, or
    using lower-level tools directly (dnssec-signzone from the isc-bind
    package or ldns-signzone from the ldns-utils package).
