I think you may have authentication and authorization swapped.

You're correct in that I'm grouping authentication and authorization.

The three types of tuples would include:

An identity (E.G. a person at an address).

Proof that you are that person at that address.

A list of things you're allowed to do at that address (IRL laws, or for a computer account publishing as that address/etc).
