* Load specified [validators_file] relative to config dir
* Add default [validators_file] to rippled-example.cfg
* Remove [validators] and [validation_quorum] from rippled-example.cfg
* Add [validation_quorum] to validators-example.txt
* Allow validators.txt to be a symlink
* Throw for invalid [validators_file] instead of logging
* Trust own master public key from configured manifest
* Do not load untrusted manifests from database
Trusted validators are loaded from [validators] and [validator_keys]
sections from both rippled.cfg and validators.txt
Quorum is loaded from [validation_quorum] section in validators.txt
only if it is not configured in rippled.cfg
Trusted master public keys can be listed under either [validators] or
[validator_keys] config sections. All keys listed under [validators] are
added to permanent trusted keys list regardless of key type.
A master public key is moved from permanent key list to manifest cache
when one of its manifests is received. This allows rippled operators to
list all trusted keys under the [validators] config section.
Replace Journal public data members with member function accessors
in order to make Journal lighter weight. The change makes a
Journal cheaper to pass by value.
Also add missing stream checks (e.g., calls to JLOG) to avoid
text processing that ultimately will not be stored in the log.
The RippleAddress class was used to represent a number of fundamentally
different types: account public keys, account secret keys, node public
keys, node secret keys, seeds and generators.
The class is replaced by the following types:
* PublicKey for account and node public keys
* SecretKey for account and node private keys
* Generator for generating secp256k1 accounts
* Seed for account, node and generator seeds
The new code removes the ability to specify domain names
in the [validators] configuration block, and no longer
supports the [validators_site] option.
More details on the supported configurations are available
under doc/rippled-example.cfg.
All AccountID functionality is removed from RippleAddress and
replaced with free functions. The AccountID to string conversion
cache is factored out as an explicit type with an instance in
the Application object. New base58 conversion functions are used,
with no dependence on OpenSSL.
All types and free functions related to AccountID are consolidated
into one header file. Routines to operate on "tokens" are also
introduced and consolidated into a single header file.
A token one of the cryptographic primitives used in Ripple:
Secret Seed
Server Public Key
Server Secret Key
Account ID
Account Public Key
Account Private Key
and these deprecated primitives:
Account Family Seed
Account Family Generator
* Do not forward manifests to peers that already know that manifest
* Do not forward historical manifests to peers
* Save/Load ValidatorManifests from a database
* Python test for setting ephmeral keys
* Cleanup manifest interface
A Validator Manifest allows validators to use a generated ed25519
secret key as a master key for generating new validator public/secret
key pairs. Using this mechanism, rippled instances trust the master
ed25519 public key instead of the now-ephemeral validator public key.
Through a new message and propagation scheme, this lets a validator
change its ephemeral public key without requiring that all rippled
instances on the network restart after maintaining the configuration
file.
