Stateless assert, only for dictionary type objects. The data is a list of restrictions lists, i.e.
`data = [ [restriction 1, restriction 2], [restriction 3, restriction 4], ... ]`. If one of the restrictions sub-lists in data passes as whole, this restriction passes.
### Outline of handling incoming transactions
When a signed transaction arrives and before the backend evaluates if all necessary authorities are present through the signatures, do the following:
- iterate over required accounts and for each account, iterate over all operations within the transactions that require the active authority of this account
- iterate the `custom_active_authorities` of said account
- if a `custom_active_authority` is found that matches , remember that and stop iterating the authorities and continue until all operations are checked
- if the account has a `custom active authority` match for every operation in the transaction that requires it, then grant the `active authority` of said account. If no match is found, treat as if no authority was given
Note:
- A `custom_active_authority` can only grant the `active authority` of the corresponding account, nothing more
### Modification to the backend
* Add a new index or extend the account object to store custom active permission are assigned to an account and contain a list of custom active authorities. Multiple custom active authority entries are possible for one operation
* If the active authority of the account is updated, all custom active authorities need to be confirmed in the update. Every unconfirmed one is deleted otherwise
* Provide operations: `install_custom_active_authority`, `update_custom_active_authority`, `delete_custom_active_authority` to allow changing the custom active permission (3 operation to allow custom transaction fees and avoid having to send the complete list of all authorities for every update)
* Operation-specific authorities (if present) must be evaluated in incoming transactions
* Additional committee parameters may be needed to limit the extend of usage of this feature
Notes: The implementation must not differentiate on which operation the custom active authority is applied, all operations are treated in same fashion
### Economics
Adding a custom active authority means increased effort for the backend, and with a stateful one also the need for more storage. Proposed transaction fees:
- `install_custom_active_authority`: Tied to the duration of the custom active authority.
Normal accounts can only create custom active authoritites with a duration of maximum 1 year. LTM can do any duration and also unlimited, but the transaction fee is capped at duration of 2 years.
- `update_custom_active_authority` and `delete_custom_active_authority`: Similar to `account_update`
# Milestones
We propose do split the implmentation into two milestones. Each milestone will be voted on as a separate BSIP:
1. Implementation of basic functionaliy to allow custom active permissions and authorities, including `any`, `none` and `lt, le, gt, ge` and `attribute_assert` `asserts`. If deemed necessary by developpers, reduce to only allow one key or one account for every `custom active authority`
2. Implement stateful asserts `limit` and `limit_monthly`
3. Implement `logical_or`
This approach allows as well to add other asserts at a later stage (with a new BSIP).

# Examples
These examples are for illustration and no specification of actual serialization.
#### Example: Nested arguments like `options`
Assume `asset_update_operation`. All attributes of its `options` must be filled on update call. This assert can not be used to realize a "may only change attribute xzy of `options`". This would require that the logic knows which of the arguments are reflected on-chain and it knows how to query it for every operation that contains `options`. If `options` are to be restricted with this assert, all values that should not change would need be fixated by defining an `any` assert for those attributes, while having e.g. a `lt` assert for the one attribute that is allowed to change.
#### Example: Simple transfer
Assume account A and B and some unrelated key K. Furthermore A has a custom active authority in the following way:
Assume account A and B and some unrelated key K.
The custom active authority should be put that transfer transaction sending funds away from A can be signed with key K as long as the receiver is B. More concrete, the authority would look like
```
custom active authority = {

That has the consquence now that a transfer transaction sending funds away from A can be signed with key K as long as the receiver is B.

#### Example: Either or

Assume account A, B and C and asset X and asset Y. The custom active authority should now achieve

# Summary for Shareholders
Bad publicity in terms of security can have very negative effect on the BTS value. This BSIP allows that traders can e.g. use a trading key, witnesses can use their witness key and a faucet can use a faucet key. If then for some reason the key or witness/faucet server becomes compromised, such a key can do little harm to the account holders, minimizing the risk.
