Identity: A set of attributes that uniquely identify a person.

Identity information associated with an entity can be grouped as follows:
• identifiers (e.g., UserID, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, URI and IP addresses);
• credentials (e.g., digital certificates, tokens and biometrics); and
• attributes (e.g., roles, claims, privileges, patterns and location).
