Explanation

Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or system. It ensures that the user is who they claim to be, typically by requiring a username and password, or through methods like biometrics or multi-factor authentication (MFA). Authorization is the process that determines what resources or actions the authenticated user is allowed to access. It enforces the permissions and rules assigned to the user, such as what files or systems they can view, edit, or execute. Authentication: The system checks whether your username and password are correct. Authorization: Once authenticated, the system checks whether you have permission to access a specific file or system.
