First of all, we don't really care, do we?

Second, it's not just identify and authenticity.

There are data breaches that leak a lot more information than just an identity. Sometimes the mere fact that your identity is in a breach is problematic already.

Maybe authenticity was not the right choice of works. I meant to say the authentic thing that is the company's business logic. IE the point of the website/application or the product is the data. Which for programmers that should also be a common thread.which is why its good to really define your data model first if you can.
