I'm a little confused. The distinction between Authentication and Authorization is as follows: `Authentication` is the process of verifying the identity of a user, system, or device, with the primary goal of confirming the legitimacy of the requesting entity. For example, when a user logs into a system by providing a username and password, the system validates these credentials against stored records. Additional methods include biometric verification (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition) and multi-factor authentication (MFA). `Authorization` occurs after successful authentication and focuses on defining the scope of access privileges granted to the authenticated entity. It restricts the operations a user can perform on specific resources. For instance, a system administrator might be granted permissions to delete data, while regular users are only permitted to view data. Authorization mechanisms, such as role-based access control (RBAC), attribute-based policies (ABAC), or access control lists (ACLs), are used to enforce these restrictions. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
