Re: Regarding Changing ownership

Hi Bill ,
Thanks for quick response.

I saw a video under SSi channel  that was  related to IOT devices . WHere
they gave example  of how ASUS laptops came under control of the hacker
because the public keys were hard coded .and suggested how DID can help in
preventing such scenarios.
I think our mindset is oriented towards human only. that is my personal
opinion .

now lets come to the ownership example.

Say  A corporate account is there which is currently under the control of
SHIVAM ,SHIVAM Left job and transfer that ownership to BILL  so how will
this work .Does shivam needs to use ke rotation to rotate the key pair or
just forward the keys to BIll.

Because if we check the uport example. they have done something like this











*publicKey:   [ { id:
'did:bdid:0xa036ca2be3d7e406688efbfb9a86c661fb36a3d3#owner',       type:
'Ed25519VerificationKey2018',       owner:
'did:bdid:0xa036ca2be3d7e406688efbfb9a86c661fb36a3d3',
 ethereumAddress: '0xbe4acbc70e6c6fbfda6a8b19a5ca4beff909cb69' },     {
id:
'did:bdid:0xa036ca2be3d7e406688efbfb9a86c661fb36a3d3#designate-1',
 type: 'Ed25519VerificationKey2018',       owner:
'did:bdid:0xa036ca2be3d7e406688efbfb9a86c661fb36a3d3',
 ethereumAddress: '0xbccf8ac82a46aa317409bf302686738d7e50d903' } ],*



Here owner is the very first owner and ethereum address is refereing to
current owner.
How they are changing key ownership
