/**
 * IdentityInterface is the interface that should be implemented by a class providing identity information.
 *
 * This interface can typically be implemented by a user model class. For example, the following
 * code shows how to implement this interface by a User ActiveRecord class:
 *
 * ~~~
 * class User extends ActiveRecord implements IdentityInterface
 * {
 *     public static function findIdentity($id)
 *     {
 *         return static::find($id);
 *     }
 *
 *     public function getId()
 *     {
 *         return $this->id;
 *     }
 *
 *     public function getAuthKey()
 *     {
 *         return $this->authKey;
 *     }
 *
 *     public function validateAuthKey($authKey)
 *     {
 *         return $this->authKey === $authKey;
 *     }
 * }
 * ~~~
