Authentication :An authentication system is how you identify yourself to the computer. The goal behind an authentication system is to verify that the user is actually who they say they are.

Authorization:Once the system knows who the user is through authentication, authorization is how the system decides what the user can do.

Authorization is any process by which someone is allowed to be where they want to go, or to have information that they want to have.

Authentication is any process by which you verify that someone is who they claim they are
