Not much activity here even when I did put delibrate spelling errors like they recomended in the stub tutorial

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

:basicly and raughly: Authorization Certificate ~= sign(Kself, "Authorize to access [, [...]]")

: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
