What is Authentication?

The act of verifying the identity of a user or SaaS app. In contrast with identification, the act of indicating a person or thing's identity, authentication is the process of verifying that identity. It might involve validating personal identity credentials, documents, or the authenticity of websites, certificates, or applications.
