Things like signing, A says B, etc.? I have to alter some code that does that stuff, and I have it all done, and it's not giving me the right result and I can't really explain it without someone understanding the basics of authorization logic.

Hi,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

First, a bit of business: you may not have read our naming policy on the way in. It requires that you use a full, real (sounding) first and last name for your display name. Initials aren't enough. You can change your display name here. Thanks!

Hi, I'm not able to make out exactly what you need here. There are a several common steps that might be right. First, A probably needs to prove who he is before he can do some action. That's Authentication. Second, A needs to have permissions to do something. That's Authorization. Third, we might need to prove later that A did it. That's non-deniability. Any of that hitting close?
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
