Explanation
Authentication is the process of verifying who someone is - confirming that the user is who they claim to be, typically through credentials like a password, biometric, or token. Authorization comes after authentication and determines what that verified user is permitted to do. Auditing tracks and logs actions taken in the system after access is granted. Encryption secures data but is not part of identity verification. The question specifically describes identity verification, which is authentication.
