IMO it's better to stick to the letter to the dictionary definition as
it's widely accepted, avoids confusion, and provides an opportunity to
think about the concept in general terms.

As an example, I really like how Ellison analyzes "identity",
"certificates", etc. in
http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/sec96/ellison.html .

Thanks,
