# Validator List Tool Guide

This guide explains how to publish an XRP Ledger validator list.

A validator list publisher uses a public/private key pair. The publisher is
identified by the public key. The private key should be tightly controlled.
It is used to:

*   sign manifests authorizing an ephemeral key to sign validator lists as the
    publisher identified by this public key.
*   sign revocations indicating that the private key has been compromised and
    the publisher public key should no longer be trusted.

Each new manifest invalidates all previous manifests for the publisher public
key.

The current manifest needs to be present in the published validator list.

Servers that trust the publisher will adapt automatically when the manifest
changes.

## Validator List Publisher Keys

When first setting up a validator list, use the `validator-list` tool to
generate the publisher key pair:

```
  $ validator-list
```

1. Enter `1` for `Create validator list publisher keys`
2. Enter a name for the keys.

Sample output:
```
  Select a name for this credential set: my-publisher-keys

  Publisher keys stored in privkeys.txt and pubkeys.txt
  Ephemeral keys stored in my-publisher-keys/
```

Keep the key files in a secure but recoverable location, such as an encrypted
USB flash drive. Do not modify its contents.

Use ephkey1.txt key and manifest to generates validator lists.

## Signing Validator Lists

Use the `validator-list` tool to generate and sign validator lists

```
  $ validator-list
```

1. Enter `2` for `Sign validator list`.
2. Enter the ephemeral private key from ephkey1.txt
3. Enter the list sequence number. This should exceed the sequence number of the
previous list.
4. Enter the numbers of days from today for the list to expire.
5. Enter the manifest of the validators to include on the validator list, one per
line.

Best practice:

* The set of validators in a published list should have at least 90% overlap
  with other known published lists.
* The set of validators in each new published list should have at least 90%
  overlap with the set in the previous list.
* A list should expire before the sequence+2 list is published.

Failure to follow best practices could result in a ledger fork among rippleds
using your list.

Sample output:
```
  Enter ephemeral private key:
  ****************************************************************

  Sequence number: 1

  Validity in days: 14

  Enter validator manifests, ending with a blank line
