“authentication”、“authorization”翻译问题

[oldsharp]

目前我们项目将“authentication”译作“授权”，我认为这是不准确的。

根据 http://gitolite.com/gitolite/gitolite.html#auth ：

• Authentication is the process of verifying that you are who you claim to be. An authentication system will establish that I am the user "sitaram" on my work system. The one behind gmail will similarly establish that I am "sitaramc". And so on...
• Authorization is the process of asking what you want to do and deciding if you're allowed to do it or not.

因此我提议：

• “authentication”译作“认证”；
• “authorization”译作“授权”（我 grep 了一下全书发现没有出现“authorization”所以我们可以不用写入术语表）。
