rotation authority

Definition

The (exclusive) right to rotate the authoritative key pair and establish changed control authority.

Relation to rotation authority

The original controller of an AID can hold exclusive rotation authority. Because control authority 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 in such a way that a designated custodial agent can hold signing authority while the original controller can hold exclusive rotation authority.
