azonosíts

Azonosít is a Hungarian verb meaning to identify, to recognize, or to determine the identity of a person or object. The related noun azonosítás refers to the act or process of identifying. The adjective azonos means identical or the same. The word stems from azonos, meaning the same, with the verb-forming suffix -ít.

In ordinary usage, azonosítás appears in contexts such as recognizing a person, classifying an object, or establishing identity in various procedures. In everyday language one might speak of identifying a suspect, identifying a product, or identifying a user during a service interaction. The term also appears in formal and legal language, often in compound forms like személyazonosítás (identification of a person) and személyazonosság (the identity of a person). A related term, személyazonosító okmány, refers to an identity document.

In technology and security, azonosítás denotes the process of establishing who or what a user or device is. It is commonly discussed together with hitelesítés (authentication), which answers the question of whether the claimed identity is true. The distinction is that azonosítás answers “who are you?” while hitelesítés answers “are you who you claim to be?”. In this domain, azonosítás may involve knowledge factors (passwords), possession factors (tokens), or biometric data, and is a prerequisite for access control and secure communications.
