NIST SP 800-103 Draft

Authentication - The process of identifying an individual, in computer systems this is usually based on a username and password. In security systems, authentication is distinct from authorization , which is the process of giving individuals access to system objects based on their identity. Authentication merely ensures that the individual is who he or she claims to be, but says nothing about the access rights of the individual.

Authentication - The process a VPN uses to limit access to protected services by forcing users to identify themselves.

NIST SP 800-18r1

Authentication - Verifying the identity of a user, process, or device, often as a prerequisite to allowing access to resources in an information system.

NIST SP 800-27rA

Authentication - Verifying the identity of a user, process, or device, often as a prerequisite to allowing access to resources in a system.
