Authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user, system, or application attempting to access a resource. In system integrations, it ensures that only authorized systems or users can securely exchange data between platforms.
Different systems and APIs adopt various authentication methods depending on their security needs, technical complexity, and usage scenarios.
