The following is a summary of changes in this pull request made by me, your security buddy 🤖. Note that this summary is auto-generated and not meant to be a definitive list of security issues but rather a helpful summary from a security perspective.

Summary:

The changes in this GitHub Pull Request are primarily focused on updating the documentation for the Jans Lock system, which is a centralized authorization control plane for securing distributed applications. The changes do not introduce any direct code modifications that could impact the application's security posture.

From an application security perspective, the Jans Lock system appears to be a well-designed and security-focused approach to authorization management. Key security features include the use of a centralized policy engine, distributed policy decision points, real-time policy updates, and centralized audit and monitoring capabilities. These features can help improve the overall security of the applications using the Jans Lock system.

While the documentation changes themselves do not raise any immediate security concerns, it is essential to review the broader context of the application and ensure that the security-related aspects of the administration and configuration are thoroughly covered and accurately reflect the current state of the system.

Files Changed:

1. docs/admin/lock/lock-master.md: This file was updated to add a new section titled "Lock Master", which appears to be documentation-related and does not introduce any obvious security concerns.

2. docs/admin/lock/README.md: This file was updated to provide an overview of the Jans Lock system and its key security features, such as centralized authorization management, the use of the Cedar policy engine, distributed policy decision points, real-time updates and notifications, and audit and monitoring capabilities.
