The TKEY process is initiated by a client or server by sending a query
of type TKEY to a TKEY-aware server. The query must include an
appropriate KEY record in the additional section, and must be signed

SIG(0)
------
-BIND partially supports DNSSEC SIG(0) transaction signatures as
-specified in :rfc:`2535` and :rfc:`2931`. SIG(0) uses public/private keys to
-authenticate messages. Access control is performed in the same manner as with
-TSIG keys; privileges can be granted or denied in ACL directives based
-on the key name.
-
-When a SIG(0) signed message is received, it is only verified if
-the key is known and trusted by the server. The server does not attempt
-to recursively fetch or validate the key.
-
-SIG(0) signing of multiple-message TCP streams is not supported.
-
-The only tool shipped with BIND 9 that generates SIG(0) signed messages
-is ``nsupdate``.
+Support for DNSSEC SIG(0) transaction signatures was removed.
