In data security, the differences between Authorization and Authentication can be listed as follows:
| Authentication | Authorization |
|---|---|
| Verification of Identity | Determines whether certain resources can be given access |
| Grant access by verifying relevant credentials | Determines certain level of access rights to certain resources, given information regarding identity |
| Systems often first authenticate then authorize activities | Systems often authorize access after authentication |
