To maintain security in asp.net application authentication and authorization have been used. Authentication is the process, which is used to verify the credentials of the user or validity of the user. If the user wishes to request a page the server accepts the credentials of the user. Though the server finds the correct credentials it does not allow user to access the resources. The access to resources is verified through authorization. Authorization is the process of granting access rights to the user depending upon the validity of the user.
Thanks
