weight of weights

Definition​

There are 2 levels in the multi-sign weighted thresholds of multi-signatures in KERI because the solution only needs to focus on tightly cooperating teams.

  • An individual using split keys over devices
  • A team of teams

All other use cases can be solved by other means in KERI (e.g. delegation).

It also gives the advantage that the resulting CESR is more straightforward. It's hard to implement a recursive weight - of weights in CESR. And because of the alleged lack of use cases, KERI don't need to go beyond two levels.
