SharePoint uses authentication to validate a user's credentials through an authentication provider like Active Directory. It supports different authentication types like Windows and forms authentication that use methods such as NTLM and Kerberos to prove a user's identity through a token. Claims are also used to represent data about a user like their name, groups, and roles. Over the years, SharePoint has supported authentication through technologies like SQL Server, Kerberos distribution centers, and service principal names to validate users across farms.
