The +DNSSEC signing will treat this key a CSK (common signing key), forgoing the ZSK/KSK split. All signing operations are done online. Authenticated denial of existence is implemented with NSEC black lies. Using ECDSA as an algorithm is preferred as this leads to smaller signatures (compared to RSA). A signing key can be specified by using the `key` directive. -WARNING: when a key is generated there is currently no way to extract any key material from CoreDNS, +WARNING: when a key is generated there is currently no way to extract any key material from CoreDNS, as this key only lives in memory.
