Talk:The Access Matrix

I' cannot agree with the definition in this article. Access matrix or access control matrix has to be understood in a broader sense than it is stated here. Especially it has nothing to do with the distinction of MAC and DAC. (Have a look at here) My sources are the original paper by Butler Lampson and the refinement of Graham: Third Generation Computer Systems, as well as Bishops: Computer Security, that AFAIK is broadly accepted in computer security quarters.

In addition it isn't very nice to denote this article with The Access Matrix. That The is redundant. I also would prefer Access Control Matrix because is more concisely, although both expression are in use.

Therefore i have started another entry named Access Control Matrix. Please read that new entry and do corrections, because english isn't my native language! Nevertheless i would delete this article due to incorrectness.

with kind regards
