/**
 * <p>This class represents a scope for identities. It is an Identity itself,
 * and therefore has a name and can have a scope. It can also optionally have a
 * public key and associated certificates.</p>
 *
 * <p>An <code>IdentityScope</code> can contain {@link Identity} objects of all
 * kinds, including {@link Signer}s. All types of <code>Identity</code> objects
 * can be retrieved, added, and removed using the same methods. Note that it is
 * possible, and in fact expected, that different types of identity scopes will
 * apply different policies for their various operations on the various types of
 * Identities.</p>
 *
 * <p>There is a one-to-one mapping between keys and identities, and there can
 * only be one copy of one key per scope. For example, suppose Acme Software,
 * Inc is a software publisher known to a user. Suppose it is an <i>Identity</i>,
 * that is, it has a public key, and a set of associated certificates. It is
 * named in the scope using the name "Acme Software". No other named <i>Identity
 * </i> in the scope has the same public key. Of course, none has the same name
 * as well.</p>
