[Pritesh Pawar]

Accepted Answers:

Authorization is the process of identifying responsible party behind each action.

Authentication is the process of identifying which principals are allowed to perform which actions

But what is given in lecture notes -

https://iitd.github.io/os/2017/lec/l36.html

• Authentication: identify a responsible party (principal) behind each action.
• Authorization: determine which principals are allowed to perform which actions. 

So, please review the answers.

Thanks,
