tsig-keygen is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing.
The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates to
a zone, or for the
rndc command channel.
A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name of the
generated key. If no name is specified, the default is
tsig-key.

key. Available choices are: hmac-md5, hmac-sha1, hmac-sha224, hmac-sha256,

case-insensitive, and the "hmac-" prefix may be omitted.
