At a high level, during TPM_ActivateIdentity:

The TPM calculates the hash of the public part of the already loaded 
identity key.  It compares that to the supplied 
TPM_ASYM_CA_CONTENTS->idDigest.

It previously checked that the key is really an identity key.

The prevents an attacker from activating a key that isn't an identity 
key, or of an identity key not connected to this TPM.
