<h2>Synopsis</h2>

<a name="id-1.14.34.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
Versions of BIND 9 up to and including BIND 9.6 had a bug causing
HMAC-SHA* TSIG keys which were longer than the digest length of the
hash algorithm (i.e., SHA1 keys longer than 160 bits, SHA256 keys
longer than 256 bits, etc) to be used incorrectly, generating a
message authentication code that was incompatible with other DNS
implementations.
</p>
<p>
This bug was fixed in BIND 9.7. However, the fix may
cause incompatibility between older and newer versions of
BIND, when using long keys. <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
modifies those keys to restore compatibility.
</p>
<p>
To modify a key, run <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span> and
specify the key's algorithm and secret on the command line. If the
secret is longer than the digest length of the algorithm (64 bytes
for SHA1 through SHA256, or 128 bytes for SHA384 and SHA512), then a
new secret will be generated consisting of a hash digest of the old
secret. (If the secret did not require conversion, then it will be
printed without modification.)
</p>

<div class="refsection">
<a name="id-1.14.34.8"></a><h2>SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS</h2>
<p>
Secrets that have been converted by <span class="command"><strong>isc-hmac-fixup</strong></span>
are shortened, but as this is how the HMAC protocol works in
operation anyway, it does not affect security. RFC 2104 notes,
"Keys longer than [the digest length] are acceptable but the
extra length would not significantly increase the function
strength."
