4PowerDNS contains support for DNSSEC, enabling the easy serving of
5DNSSEC secured data, with minimal administrative overhead.
6
7In PowerDNS, DNS and signatures and keys are (usually) treated as
8separate entities. The domain & record storage is thus almost completely
9devoid of DNSSEC record types.
10
11Instead, keying material is stored separately, allowing operators to
12focus on the already complicated task of keeping DNS data correct. In
13practice, DNSSEC related material is often stored within the same
14database, but within separate tables.
15
16If a DNSSEC configuration is found for a domain, the PowerDNS daemon
17will provide key records, signatures and (hashed) denials of existence
18automatically.
19
20As an example, securing an existing zone can be as simple as:
21
633489be 22.. code-block:: shell
0e2063c3
PL
23
24 $ pdnsutil secure-zone powerdnssec.org
25
26Alternatively, PowerDNS can serve pre-signed zones, without knowledge of
27private keys.
