TSIG Key Generator
-
Version
1.00
This tool can generate a TSIG key value (base64) for
you very easily. The key value complies with RFC2845.
Secret Key Transaction Authentication for DNS (TSIG)
is a secure method of authenticating clients making
dynamic DNS update requests. The client application
and the DNS server share a secret key value which is
used to sign (HMAC-MD5) each update request. You can
think of the key name as a user ID, and the key value
as a password.
You can create a key value using four different
methods:
Random 128 bit value, random 256 bit value, random
512 bit value or from pass-phrase (MD5-hash).
The key value generation functionality of TSIG Key
Generator is already built into Simple DNS Plus and
Simple Failover from JH Software.
