authentification

The act of verifying identity with something the user has, knows, or is. For example, a user knows information such as a name and password. The user may have something physical such as a smart card. The identity can be something the user is—a physical feature such as a fingerprint or retinal scan. Authentication may require two or more forms of identification. Compare authorization, identification.
