What is the primary purpose of authentication?
To prove your identity
To audit your actions
To provide access to resources
The primary purpose of authentication is to prove that you are who you say you are. From Wikipedia: "Authentication (from Greek: ñá½ÂøõýÃâùúÃÅÃâ authentic, "real, genuine," from ñá½ÂøÃÂýÃâ÷Ãâ authentic, "author") is the act of confirming the truth of an attribute of a single piece of data (a datum) claimed true by an entity. In contrast with identification which refers to the act of stating or otherwise indicating a claim purportedly attesting to a person or thing's identity, authentication is the process of actually confirming that identity."
