NSEC3HASH(1)                        BIND 9                        NSEC3HASH(1)

NAME
       nsec3hash - generate NSEC3 hash

SYNOPSIS
       nsec3hash {salt} {algorithm} {iterations} {domain}

       nsec3hash -r {algorithm} {flags} {iterations} {salt} {domain}

DESCRIPTION
       nsec3hash  generates  an NSEC3 hash based on a set of NSEC3 parameters.
       This can be used to check the validity of NSEC3  records  in  a  signed
       zone.

       If  this  command is invoked as nsec3hash -r, it takes arguments in or-
       der, matching the first four fields of an NSEC3 record followed by  the
       domain  name: algorithm, flags, iterations, salt, domain. This makes it
       convenient to copy and paste a portion of an NSEC3 or NSEC3PARAM record
       into a command line to confirm the correctness of an NSEC3 hash.

ARGUMENTS
       salt   This is the salt provided to the hash algorithm.

       algorithm
              This  is  a  number indicating the hash algorithm. Currently the
              only supported hash algorithm for NSEC3 is SHA-1, which is indi-
              cated by the number 1; consequently "1" is the only useful value
              for this argument.

       flags  This is provided for compatibility with NSEC3  record  presenta-
              tion  format,  but  is ignored since the flags do not affect the
              hash.

       iterations
              This is the number of additional times the hash should  be  per-
              formed.

       domain This is the domain name to be hashed.
