## Syntax
~~~
dnssec [ZONES...]
~~~
* **ZONES** zones that should be signed. If empty, the zones from the configuration block
are used.
If keys are not specified (see below), a key is generated and used for all signing operations. The
DNSSEC signing will treat this key a CSK (common signing key), forgoing the ZSK/KSK split. All
signing operations are done online. Authenticated denial of existence is implemented with NSEC black
lies. Using ECDSA as an algorithm is preferred as this leads to smaller signatures (compared to
RSA). NSEC3 is *not* supported.
A single signing key can be specified by using the `key` directive.
NOTE: Key generation has not been implemented yet.

The specified key is used for all signing operations. The DNSSEC signing will treat this key a

Authenticated denial of existence is implemented with NSEC black lies. Using ECDSA as an algorithm

If multiple *dnssec* middlewares are specified in the same zone, the last one specified will be
used ( see [bugs](#bugs) ).
* `ZONES` zones that should be signed. If empty, the zones from the configuration block
are used.
* `key file` indicates that key file(s) should be read from disk. When multiple keys are specified, RRsets
will be signed with all keys. Generating a key can be done with `dnssec-keygen`: `dnssec-keygen -a
ECDSAP256SHA256 <zonename>`. A key created for zone *A* can be safely used for zone *B*.
ECDSAP256SHA256 <zonename>`. A key created for zone *A* can be safely used for zone *B*. The name of the
key file can be specified as one of the following formats
* basename of the generated key `Kexample.org+013+45330`
* generated public key `Kexample.org+013+45330.key`
* generated private key `Kexample.org+013+45330.private`
* `cache_capacity` indicates the capacity of the cache. The dnssec middleware uses a cache to store
RRSIGs. The default capacity is 10000.
