Description-en: daemon to sign DNS zone files periodically
OpenDNSSEC is a complete DNSSEC zone signing system which is very
easy to use with stability and security in mind. There are a lot of
details in signing zone files with DNSSEC and OpenDNSSEC covers most
of it.
.
This package contains the OpenDNSSEC Signer Engine. The task of the
signer engine is to schedule signing operation on DNS zones. Taking
input from the KASP, it will automatically sign zones and keep their
signatures up-to-date.
