+.SH "NAME"
+isc-hmac-fixup \- fixes HMAC keys generated by older versions of BIND
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBisc\-hmac\-fixup\fR\ 'u
+\fBisc\-hmac\-fixup\fR {\fIalgorithm\fR} {\fIsecret\fR}
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+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\&.
+.PP
+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\&.
+\fBisc\-hmac\-fixup\fR
+modifies those keys to restore compatibility\&.
+.PP
+To modify a key, run
+\fBisc\-hmac\-fixup\fR
+and specify the key\*(Aqs 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\&.)
+.SH "SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS"
+.PP
+Secrets that have been converted by
+\fBisc\-hmac\-fixup\fR
+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\&."
