Explanation:
Authorization determines who is trusted for a given purpose. More precisely, it determines whether
a particular principal, who has been authenticated as the source of a request to do something, is
trusted for that operation. Authorization may also include controls on the time at which something
can be done (e.g. only during working hours) or the computer terminal from which it can be
requested (e.g. only the one on the system administrator desk).
