Presentations

Presentations MAY be used to combine and present credentials. They can be packaged in such a way that the authorship of the data is verifiable. The data in a presentation is often all about the same subject, but there is no limit to the number of subjects or issuers in the data. The aggregation of information from multiple verifiable credentials is a typical use of verifiable presentations.

A verifiable presentation is typically composed of the following properties:

• id

  The id property is optional and MAY be used to provide a unique identifier for the presentation. For details related to the use of this property, see Section 4.2 Identifiers.

• type

  The type property is required and expresses the type of presentation, such as VerifiablePresentation. For details related to the use of this property, see Section 4.3 Types.

• verifiableCredential

  If present, the value of the verifiableCredential property MUST be constructed from one or more verifiable credentials, or of data derived from verifiable credentials in a cryptographically verifiable format.

• holder

  If present, the value of the holder property is expected to be a URI for the entity that is generating the presentation.

• proof

  If present, the value of the proof property ensures that the presentation is verifiable. For details related to the use of this property, see Section 4.7 Proofs (Signatures).

The example below shows a verifiable presentation that embeds verifiable credentials.
