An identity object that is used to uniquely identify a stakeholder in a request. Today, a stakeholder's IIdentity is expressed as an Ethereum address, but it is conceivable that future implementations may include alternative identity formats, perhaps W3C DIDs.
Examples of IIdentity are: payee, payer, signer, creator, and any 3rd party that can view an encrypted request's contents.
The payee identity and payer identity are NOT necessarily the same as the payment recipient (paymentAddress in the ) or the payment sender (from address in the payment-subgraph). Conceptually, the payee and payer identities are used only for notifications and access control, NOT payment routing.

It is not possible to create or update a request using an IIdentity of this type. This type was added to support creating/updating requests using multisig wallets via EIP-1271 but this feature has not yet been implemented.
