I can imagine wanting to know the chain of ownership, for sure, to make it clear what has happened - the truly paranoid might want to make sure that "everything" has been reverted/swapped during the transfer.
I can also imagine wanting an ownership-transferred part to be indistinguishable from one that was "factory-assigned" for lack of a better term.
I slightly lean towards the second case - since we ought to be very confident that the ownership transfer works and no residual data/artifacts of the prior owner remain.
Or, there may be some more basic reason for tracking the ownership chain that I'm missing, which is quite possible.
Description
As part of ownership transfer, consider tracking the previous owner.
Ideas:
prev_owner_hash = HASH(prev_owner_key || prev_owner_hash)
Given a list of all previous owner public keys, the
prev_owner_hash
could be independently verified.
