1. A person has control of an electronic document of title if a system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in the electronic document reliably establishes that person as the person to whom the electronic document was issued or transferred.

2. A system satisfies subsection 1, and a person is deemed to have control of an electronic document of title, if the document is created, stored and assigned in such a manner that:

(a) A single authoritative copy of the document exists which is unique, identifiable and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f), unalterable;

(b) The authoritative copy identifies the person asserting control as:

(1) The person to whom the document was issued; or

(2) If the authoritative copy indicates that the document has been transferred, the person to whom the document was most recently transferred;

(c) The authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the person asserting control or its designated custodian;

(d) Copies or amendments that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can be made only with the consent of the person asserting control;

(e) Each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy; and

(f) Any amendment of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized.
