Well, "ç" and "ã" do not exist in us-ascii codepage. In any case,
some e-mail programs do use it (sorry, but it's a good analogy, no
offence intended).

What I mean is that I have head people saying "Autentificação" more
then one. Probably for the same reason europeans use Autentification
in english. There gotta me some kind of origin for this generalised
misuse of more then one language.

Hummm, "Autentifica??o"?,
sorry Rodrigo, such word doesn't exists on pt_BR. 
According to one of our main dictionaries, the
Aurelio,
we must always use "Autentica??o - n. f. the act of 
authenticate".

Actualy, depending of the use of the word, it can
also be
"Autentifica??o" in pt_BR.

Then again, I'm not sure you would find it in a
dictionary. Maybe it's
only slang, and we are back on the same problem.

This one's easy. There is no such word,
"authentification."

Not in American English, agreed.  I didn't
mention this in my post
because it was just a theory at the time, but it
seems to be commonly
used by Europeans, and/or people who speak or
write English as a
second language, not a native language.

One might expect to see such minor differences
in an international
forum.  A search on Google for
"authentification" illustrates the
point.
