Abstract
Providing virtualized credentials of a holder includes authorizing a subset of credential data to be sent to a device of a relying party that is different from the holder, where the subset of credential data depends on a role of the relying party, selection by the holder, and/or contextual data of the relying party and includes displaying the subset of credential data on a screen of the device of the relying party. The contextual data may be a privacy level setting, distance between the relying party and the holder, and/or geolocation of the relying party. The role of the relying party may be provided by the relying party. Role information provided by the relying party may be provided in a verifiable format. The role information may be digitally signed or securely derived and determined by a mutual authentication algorithm between the relying party and the holder.
