Authentication:  Yes, you seem to be Jeffrey Dahlmer.
Authorization:   You say you'd like to borrow a steak knife?

Usually clears up the confusion in all but the most sluggish mind.. ;)

However, "authorization" usually implies "authentication" beforehand.
Does anybody  have a reference on an authorization scheme that
doesn't imply any authentication?
