Description Till Maas 2013-12-21 08:12:10 UTC
Description of problem:
dnssec-trigger creates two RSA 1536 keys at
/etc/dnssec-trigger/dnssec_trigger_control.pem
/etc/dnssec-trigger/dnssec_trigger_server.pem

Both keys are signed with certificates that are valid for 20 years.

There are recommendations to use at least RSA 3072 for new systems:
http://www.enisa.europa.eu/activities/identity-and-trust/library/deliverables/algorithms-key-sizes-and-parameters-report

Also for long-term systems RSA 15360 is recommended, which is equivalent to 256 bit symmetric encryption. Dnssec-trigger should create appropiate keys/certificates by default, e.g. create a RSA 3072 key but limit the validity or use RSA 15360 keys.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 20:55:37 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
