Credentials

Data that can be used to identify, authenticate, or authorise an entity. For example, a user name and password constitute authentication credentials. A Kerberos ticket, consisting of an encrypted session key and other information, is an identification credential. In Kerberos version 5 and later, tickets can also carry authorization information.
