Question

To illustrate your understanding of the concepts, please provide a non-technical example of identification, authentication, and authorization.

Answer 1

The example of identification, authentication and authorization is provided below:

Identification:

Identification refers when the subject or the person claims its identity. This identification is accomplished by something that uniquely identifies the person or the subject.

Authentication:

Authentication refers that the subject now proves its identity. This is accomplished when the subject provide some appropriate credentials in order to give the proof of its identity.

Authorization:

Authorization refers to the process that takes place after both authentication and identification is done.

On the basis of the proof of the authentication and identification, the authorization is then guaranteed.

Without authentication and identification, the authorization is not being pointed out.

This process decides what a person will do with the system or the system.
