Section 1 says:

 Instead, she authenticates directly with a server trusted by the photo-sharing service (authorization server), which issues the printing service delegation-
specific credentials (access token).

It should say:

Instead, she directly authenticates with a trusted server, the authorization server, which issues delegation-specific credentials, known as access tokens, to the printing service for controlled and secure access.

Notes:

The sentence is confusing, and the reader might confuse the Authorization Server with the Resource Server.
