Title: Re: [Fed-Talk] Re: "Authentication" < > "SSO"
I think you just proved my point with your illustration. Isn’t the authentication used to authorize access to the wireless net?

Terminology is such a pain. Experts have been telling us that there is a difference between Authentication and Authorization. They make a very good argument about keeping these ideas separate. However, the two always go hand in hand on computer systems because you can't do anything useful just by "authenticating" someone.
Not always. AF has deployed a wireless guest network where users only authenticate--i.e., a valid DoD PKI certificate is required. No separate authorization step is performed; authN implies authZ in this case.
