| Description: | The Zend\Authentication component provides an API for authentication and
includes concrete authentication adapters for common use case scenarios.
Zend\Authentication is concerned only with authentication and not with
authorization. Authentication is loosely defined as determining whether
an entity actually is what it purports to be (i.e., identification),
based on some set of credentials. Authorization, the process of deciding
whether to allow an entity access to, or to perform operations upon, other
entities is outside the scope of Zend\Authentication. For more information
about authorization and access control with Zend Framework, please see the
Zend\Permissions\Acl or Zend\Permissions\Rbac component. |
