US Patent 11550892 Presentation of a verifiable credential having usage data

The presentation of a verifiable credential that is represented within a data structure that represents the verifiable credential as well as usage data of the verifiable credential. The usage of the verifiable credential is monitored, such that as usage of the verifiable credential changes or progresses, the stored usage data also changes. This data structure may be used to not only cause visual representations of the verifiable credential to be displayed to the user, but the user can selectively cause at least some of that usage data to also be presented to the user. Thus, the user can easily keep track of how their verifiable credential is being used, regardless of where or from which device the verifiable credential is presented.
