custodial-rotation [ verb ]

AI–generated Summary

Change of control split between two key sets.

Definition

Rotation is based on control authority that is split between two key sets. The first for signing authority and the second (pre-rotated) for rotation authority, the associated thresholds and key list can be structured so that a designated custodial agent can hold signing authority, while the original controller can hold exclusive rotation authority. Partial pre-rotation+ supports the vital use case of custodial key rotation to authorize a custodial agent+. Paraphrased by @henkvancann based on the IETF-KERI draft 2022 by Samual Smith.
