The above list of named keys is nothing that is known to the backend as the backend should have an abstract implementation.
The UI could provide a button "Create Trading Key" that properly configures the respective custom active permission entry.
Note: The user can still use the active authority just like used to, no change in existing behavior. The named keys only give an additional possibility. For example: The user can login the UI using the private key of such a named key. Then he only as access to the operations that this named key grants. He can still login with the existing password to gain full access (similar a local wallet can be created that only contains the named key).
This BSIP will be split into three parts that will be voted on separately (see Milestones section). All of the above keys are possible with Milestone 1. Milestone 2 allows stateful restrictions (e.g. allow market orders up to some amount for every month), Milestone 3 gives finer control of how to combine restrictions. Milestone 2 and 3 will be put up for voting if Milestone 1 proves successful.
# Rational
Custom active permission is a list of `custom active authorities`. A `custom active authority` contains an `operation_id`, an `authority` (just like with active permission) and `restrictions` than can be used to restrict arguments and is only valid a certain time period (`valid_from` and `valid_to`). When handling incoming signed transactions, the backend checks for each operation if there is a `custom active authority` for any of its required accounts. Check for every required account of the transaction if all its belonging operations have at least one positively matched `custom active authority` (match means its `authority` is granted through present signatures, same `operation_id`, now is within `valid_to` and `valid_from` and none of the `restrictions` is violated), and if so grant the active authority of the corresponding account.

### 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
* If the active authority of the account is updated, all custom active authorities are disabled and must be enabled again with using `update_custom_active_authority`
* 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
* Remove expired custom_active_authorities on maintenance
