@ -120,9 +120,12 @@ BIND 9.10.0
allows BIND 9 cryptography functions to use the PKCS#11 API
natively, so that BIND can drive a cryptographic hardware
service module (HSM) directly instead of using a modified
OpenSSL as an intermediary. This has been tested with the
Thales nShield HSM and with SoftHSMv2 from the Open DNSSEC
project.
OpenSSL as an intermediary. (Note: This feature requires an
HSM to have a full implementation of the PKCS#11 API; many
current HSMs only have partial implementations. The new
"pkcs11-tokens" command can be used to check API completeness.
Native PKCS#11 is known to work with the Thales nShield HSM
and with SoftHSM version 2 from the Open DNSSEC project.)
- The new "max-zone-ttl" option enforces maximum TTLs for
zones. This can simplify the process of rolling DNSSEC keys
by guaranteeing that cached signatures will have expired
