An account key can be used to sign transactions among other accounts and balance-related functions. Keys defined in [Definition -def-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#defn-account-key) and [Definition -def-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#defn-stash-key) are created and managed by the user independent of the Polkadot implementation. The user notifies the network about the used keys by submitting a transaction, as defined in [Section -sec-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#sect-certifying-keys).

The **Controller key** is a type of account key that acts on behalf of the Stash account. It signs transactions that make decisions regarding the nomination and the validation of the other keys. It is a key that will be in direct control of a user and should mostly be kept offline, used to submit manual extrinsics. It sets preferences like payout account and commission, as described in [Section -sec-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#sect-controller-settings). If used for a validator, it certifies the session keys, as described in [Section -sec-num-ref-](id-cryptography-encoding#sect-certifying-keys). It only needs the required funds to pay transaction fees \[TODO: key needing fund needs to be defined\].
