Authentication is the act of proving an assertion, such as the identity of a computer system user. In contrast with identification, the act of indicating a person or thing's identity, authentication is the process of verifying that identity.

Authorization specifies access rights/privileges to resources, which is related to general information security and computer security, and access control in particular. More formally, "to authorize" is to define an access policy
