Verification is the process where the verifier determines the identity of the supplicant.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Both A and B
• D. Neither A nor B

Answer: (B)

Understanding the terms helps here: identification asks “Who are you?” and authentication asks “Are you who you claim to be?” Verification, in this context, is about checking that the proof or data presented is correct. The step where the system determines the user’s identity is identification, not verification. In practice, authentication uses the presented credentials to confirm the claimed identity, but it’s the verification of those credentials, not the act of discovering who the user is, that happens in that step. So the statement is not accurate.
