stable

Definition

Refers to the state of cryptographic verifiability across a network or system. It generally implies that a particular identifier, event, or data set is consistent, fully verified, and cannot be contested within KERI.

Examples

Stable Identifier

An identifier is considered stable when its associated event sequence (establishment, rotations, etc.) has been published by sufficient witnesses so that it can be verified and acknowledged by a quorum of watchers.

Stable State

After a key rotation event, the new keys are considered stable only when enough receipts from witnesses confirm the event.
