Authentication is the verification of the identity of a person (or host, server, client…). It guarantees the authenticity of who signed the data – so you know who participated in a transaction and that it has not been forged by someone else. It allows to determine the true identity of a user attempting to access a system by confirmation of the claimed identity.
