Key Versions and Available Usage
Use this section to create new key versions and manage how those versions are used. All versions of
a key have the same metadata (found on the Key Properties, Permissions, and Custom Attributes
sections). The version number, key state, creation date, default IV, and key bytes differ for each key
version. The latest key version is automatically the default version.
