Active key record state

Active key records can be used to encrypt and decrypt data. If necessary, the active key record could be made inactive. The active state is one of the three most important data management states. The inactive state and deprecated state are the other two important data management states.

Key records can be created directly in the active state bypassing the prelive state. Key records in the active state can either stay active or be made inactive. Active records cannot go back to the prelive state.
