But TLS certificates also allow that, i.e:

  Alice ----> Atlanta Proxy ----> Biloxi Proxy ----> Bob

- Atlanta requests Digest authentication to Alice.
- Atlanta starts a TLS connection with Biloxi.
- Biloxi provides a TLS certificate. Atlanta validates the URI(s)
contained in the certificate and match them against the SIP URI of
Biloxi (sip:biloxi.com).
- Also Atlanta provides a TLS certificate to Biloxi. Biloxi validates
the URI(s) contained in the certificate and match them against the
domain o the request From URI.

Why is required Identity here?
