what is the difference between authorization and
authentication?

Answer Posted / sujith

authorization means being capable to access some data or
application
authentication is a process of being identified by certain
condition to become authorized...... but at the same time
authentication might not be the only criterion to become
authorized......


There is a narrow gap between these two terms.....
take an example.....
to enter into your e-mail account , you
should be authenticated by user id and pwd... however it
doesn't mean that you are fully authorized to access the
whole page,
