during !30 (merged) we discussed adding 'authetication' as a class.

• could be a subclass of validation
• https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/authentication
• validation of some credentials as parts of a set (stored on server) in order to confirm the identity of a person/user
• could be a separate "planned process"

notes:

• when implementing remove 'authentication' as related synonym of 'validation'
