Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 12, Problem 1RQ
Explanation of Solution
Differences between authentication and authorization:
Authentication | Authorization |
It approves the individuality of the person who is accessing a physical or logical area. | It defines what activities a person can perform in a specific physical or logical area. |
It is the method of authenticating user authorizations to gain user access. | It is the method of authenticating whether access is permitted or not. |
It usually requires a username and a password. | It requires different authentication factors depending on the security level. |
It is the first step of authorization so always comes first. | It is done after successful authentication. |
Explanation of Solution
Reason:
A system cannot permit authorization without authentication because first the system wants to identify the person’s identity in order to identify what authorization level the person possesses.
