But many people use "identity" for the e-mail address.

I believe we're talking about the e-mail address when we talk about identity.
It's the most visible and identifiable item.



That's exactly the confusion I was trying to point out.

From a security point of view the IP address is the identity. 

The e-mail address is the ressource to grant access to based
on authorization.
