When a session is authenticated, it means that the user's identity has been verified and validated by the server. This process ensures that the user is who they claim to be and allows them to access restricted content or perform actions that are only available to authenticated users.

In technical terms, an authenticated session typically involves the server creating a unique session ID and storing it, often in the form of a cookie, which is sent to the user's browser. The browser then sends this session ID back to the server with each request, allowing the server to recognize and maintain the user's state across multiple requests.
