Leopard Sample Code: Security
Authentication is the process of determining and verifying the identity of a user or service. Developers can use the Mac OS X authentication services and programming interfaces to authenticate users and to store certificates that can be used for authentication. Note that although Authorization Services also performs authentication, it does not return the identity of the authenticated entity to the caller.
