Authentication - The process by which the identity of a person is verified as being that which they claim. Although a password can be a form of authentication, it would normally be a digital certificate or digital signature. Authentication codes
I hose are used by Internet service providers to tell their inbound servers whether or not the sender is authorized to send emails from the IP address and that the sender is who they claim to be. Authentication codes are part of spam-prevention measures.
