The use of the term 'identity' should be clarified. As written, this requirement could me that the legal name of a communicating party is to be authenticated, or simply that the identifier, whether name, email address, IP address, etc. associated with the communication is authenticated. If the meaning is the former, then it should be clarified that anonymous and pseudonymous communications must be supported. If the latter (much simpler from a privacy perspective) then the scope of this requirement should be narrowed. I'm happy to talk about this further and propose wording once the intent is clear.
