## Description
The *sign* plugin is used to sign (see RFC 6781) zones. In this process DNSSEC resource records are
-added to the zone. The signatures that sign the resource records sets have an expiration date. This
-means the signing process must be repeated before this expiration data is reached. Otherwise the
-zone's data will go BAD (RFC 4035, Section 5.5). The *sign* plugin takes care of this.
