Which of the following best describes the process where a system or individual proves their identity by providing credentials to a verifying entity?
Authentication
Multifactor

Authorization
Authentication is the correct term for the process where an entity (user, system, or process) proves its identity to a verifying entity by providing the appropriate credentials. Authorization refers to the granting of rights and permissions post-authentication, and accounting refers to the tracking of user activities, while multifactor indicates a means or type of authentication, not the process itself.
