key Statement
key key_id {
algorithm algorithm_id;
secret secret_string;
};
The key statement defines a key ID which can be used
in a server statement to
associate an authentication method with a particular name server.
A key ID must be created with the key
statement before it can be used in a server
definition.
The algorithm_id is a string that specifies a security/authentication algorithm. secret_string is the secret to be used by the algorithm.
The key statement is intended for future use by the
server. It is checked for syntax but is otherwise ignored.
