Authentification: Identification d’un utilisateur et vérification de ses droits d’accès aux services d’un système informatique. Deux niveaux sont possibles : authentification simple utilisant une seule méthode d’identification généralement basée sur une preuve mentale (mot de passe par exemple) et authentification forte utilisant au moins deux méthodes d’identification: une preuve mentale et une preuve dynamique (carte à puce par exemple). [6]



Cameroon (Cameroun)

Authentification : critère de sécurité défini par un processus mis en œuvre notamment pour vérifier l’identité d’une personne physique ou morale et s’assurer que l’identité fournie correspond à l’identité de cette personne préalablement enregistrée. [7]



Canada

Authentication: A process or measure used to verify a users identity. [8]

Authentification: Processus ou mesure permettant de vérifier l’identité d’un utilisateur. [9]



Czech Republic

Autentizace: Proces ověření identity subjektu. [10]

Authentication: [Any] Security measure designed to establish the validity of a transmission, message, or originator, or a means of verifying an individual’s eligibility to receive specific categories of information. [11]


Eswatini

Authntication: The process of verifying the identity or other attributes of a user, process or device. [12]

L’authentification a pour but de vérifier l’identité dont une entité se réclame. [13]

Généralement l’authentification est précédée d’une identification qui permet à cette entité de se faire reconnaître du système par un élément dont on l’a doté. En résumé, s’identifier c’est communiquer son identité, s’authentifier c’est apporter la preuve de son identité.

Georgia

Authentication is the process of verifying and securing the identity of a user or a program when accessing electronically secured data and systems or when performing communication processes. [14]

In the authentication process, a certain attribute of a user or system certifies authorized access to such systems or data, for example, a key (see public key cryptography), a smart card, a password, the user name or even biometrical traits (fingerprint). A higher security level can be achieved by the combination of different traits used for authentication.

Other definitions

OWASP

Authentication is the process of verifying that someone or something is the actual entity that they claim to be. [34]

Authentication is what happens when you log into a system. It compares your credentials (often user name and password) with a previously established known value such that the system can know that you are who you say you are. For sensitive systems, there is a trend toward using two factor authentication (2FA) which essentially means that users must supply two different secrets, usually one is a password (something they know) and the other is a pin supplied via text (verifying something they have).

International Standard

ISA-62443-*

Authentication: Provision of assurance that a claimed characteristic of an identity is correct. [35]



IETF
Authentication: The process of verifying an identity claimed by or for a system entity. [36]



ISO/IEC - ISO/IEC 27000:2014

Authentication is a process that is used to confirm that a claimed characteristic of an entity is actually correct. To authenticate is to verify that a characteristic or attribute that appears to be true is in fact true. [37]
