Authentication is the process of verifying that a particular user is who he or she claims to be. Authorization is the process by which a user provides permissions for another person, application, or system to access his or her resources. For example, when you are asked for your password after logging into an online banking website, authentication involves verifying that you have sufficient authorization to use this account and will not be locked out if it turns out later that your account has been changed.
