Authorized by whom? I *think* that here the DNS domain name is one that
the certified subject has itself authorized (perhaps even "established"
is better) to provide the desired service. Therefore I suggest an
alternative wording:

     "A DNS domain name which the certified subject has
      authorized to provide the identified service."
