+ but the key material is stored within the HSM, and the actual signing
+ takes place there.

+ The <option>name</option> of the key is specified on the command

+ <para>
+ When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults
+ to the string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine
+ that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service
+ module. When BIND is built with native PKCS#11 cryptography
+ (--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#11
+ provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".

+ <term>-l <replaceable class="parameter">label</replaceable></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Specifies the label for a key pair in the crypto hardware.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When <acronym>BIND</acronym> 9 is built with OpenSSL-based
+ PKCS#11 support, the label is an arbitrary string that
+ identifies a particular key. It may be preceded by an
+ optional OpenSSL engine name, followed by a colon, as in
+ "pkcs11:<replaceable>keylabel</replaceable>".
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ When <acronym>BIND</acronym> 9 is built with native PKCS#11
+ support, the label is a PKCS#11 URI string in the format
+ "pkcs11:<option>keyword</option>=<replaceable>value</replaceable><optional>;<option>keyword</option>=<replaceable>value</replaceable>;...</optional>"
+ Keywords include "token", which identifies the HSM; "object", which
+ identifies the key; and "pin-source", which identifies a file from
+ which the HSM's PIN code can be obtained. The label will be
+ stored in the on-disk "private" file.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ If the label contains a
+ <option>pin-source</option> field, tools using the generated
+ key files will be able to use the HSM for signing and other
+ operations without any need for an operator to manually enter
+ a PIN. Note: Making the HSM's PIN accessible in this manner
+ may reduce the security advantage of using an HSM; be sure
+ this is what you want to do before making use of this feature.

+ <term>-n <replaceable class="parameter">nametype</replaceable></term>

+ a host (KEY)),
+ USER (for a key associated with a user(KEY)) or OTHER (DNSKEY).
