For a static public key, static private key and/ or the static key pair containing those components, the owner is the entity that is authorized to use the static private key corresponding to the static public key, whether that entity generated the static key pair itself or a trusted party generated the key pair for the entity. For an ephemeral key pair, ephemeral private key or ephemeral public key, the owner is the entity that generated the ephemeral key pair and uses the ephemeral private key associated with the public key of that key pair.
