Correct option:
FALSE
Explanation:
Identification and authentication are two distinct processes:
-
Identification is the process of claiming an identity (e.g., entering a username or providing an ID). It's essentially saying, "I am [this person]."
-
Authentication is the process of verifying that the claimed identity is valid (e.g., entering a password or using biometric data). It’s the step where the system checks if the user is indeed who they claim to be.
Thus, while they are related, they are not the same.
