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.
