    Sec. 7-106. Control of electronic document of title.
    (a) 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 which the electronic document was issued or transferred.
    (b) A system satisfies subsection (a), 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:
        (1) a single authoritative copy of the document
    
exists which is unique, identifiable, and, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (4), (5), and (6), unalterable;
        (2) the authoritative copy identifies the person
    
asserting control as:
            (A) the person to which the document was issued;
        
or
            (B) if the authoritative copy indicates that the
        
document has been transferred, the person to which the document was most recently transferred;
        (3) the authoritative copy is communicated to and
    
maintained by the person asserting control or its designated custodian;
        (4) 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;
        (5) 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
        (6) any amendment of the authoritative copy is
    
readily identifiable as authorized or unauthorized.
