Improved introductory section to add to include identifiers and set a little bit more context about the history of identity standards.

Improved opening to add in reference to identifiers and a bit more context regarding the history of identity standards. I am sorry I didn't mean to commit to the main branch. I thought I was forking and doing it in my branch.. I will try to reverse this and do the thing in my branch and then send a pull request. Github is still a bit mysterious to me I'm doing my best.

| The identity ecosystems that support these use cases are individually and collectively vast, including classical forms of identities such as email addresses, phone numbers, and certificates, to new forms of identities built on standards such as [OAuth [1]](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6749) and [Verifiable Credentials [2]](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/). These different identities vary in type (what sort of entity does the identity refer to?), uniqueness (does it refer to one or more entities?), security (how easy is it for identities to be spoofed?), longevity (is the identifier still valid at this moment?), and so on. | ||

There are also systems for issuing certificates that have some rudimentary identity information about the owner of public keys that are are used to secure connection between entities. | ||

| Identity is a fundamental concept in both computing and human interactions. It is used as the basis for security policy enforcement in support of authentication, authorization, provisioning, and related access control technologies. For example, identities are used to identify human users or devices as part of end-to-end encryption applications, or used to authenticate entities that publish signed software artifacts. Identities may also be used for provisioning or managing devices or workloads in machine-to-machine systems. | |||

Ok. I finished an incomplete sentence and added space between paragraphs.
added bullet points.

I added a little bit more context about the history of identity standards along with adding in "identifiers" to the language about identity at the beginning.
