How to open KRF file?

The most common problem when using KMESS Curve Reference Data Format is that a specific KRF is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KRF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KRF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install DNSSEC-Tools

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DNSSEC-Tools is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DNSSEC-Tools into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support KRF files.

Programs to open KRF file

Remember to download programs supporting KRF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of DNSSEC-Tools with KRF files

If, despite the installed application, the KRF file does not start in the DNSSEC-Tools application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KRF file with the DNSSEC-Tools program.

Step 3. Update DNSSEC-Tools to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the DNSSEC-Tools program, it is possible that KMESS Curve Reference Data Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KRF file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KRF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KRF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KRF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KRF file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KRF file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KRF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the KRF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KRF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
