Hi, right, this sounds more like an identifier, because claiming that a participant will be able to determine your identity when you are an anonymous user is not clear at all. In any case, I am OK with not specifying which exact identifier will be used. However, the requirement should be clear that the vagueness was introduced on purpose. An extra sentence should be enough for the reader to understand what the requirement actually means.
