Authentication means that it is verified by a system. Eg. logging into an administrator account requires that you submit a password. The process of keying in a correct password, is the process of authenticating that you are the correct person with administrator rights/priviledges. BTW, is this an assignment for college?

Answer 4

Authentication, verification and validation are one and the same thing. It is a process where it is determined whether you are allowed to access and use a certain system, service or transaction. One example is a bank ATM machine. You insert your ATM card and then key-in your PIN-code. The information contained in your ATM card together with your pin-code are the basis for the bank's computer system to determine if you are indeed the owner of a certain bank account. This is called authentication. If you passed this authentication process, then you are allowed by the system to continue your transaction (withdrawal, deposit, fund-transfer). If you failed this authentication process (by entering a wrong PIN-code), then the system will not allow you to continue with the transaction.
