Can anyone clean this up

edit

I couldn't make head nor tail of this addition; can anyone clean it up?

basicly and raughly: Authorization Certificate ~= sign(Kself, "Authorize <Ksubject> to access <resource> [, <resource> [...]]")
resource can be anything you want, from a file path to a password capability to service name.
Kerberos is also an ?good? way to control access in distrubated resources.

I see I got caried away a little. That happens ;-)
What I meant that a authorization certificate is like a chitty or statement saying that an x party may access y and z resources.
This chitty or statement is cryptographicly signed with the certificate's issuer's private key.
Another good way to control access to distrubated resources is Kerberos.
Hope this cleans this up a bit
