What is a Verifiable Presentation?

A Verifiable Presentation (VP) is a way to share one or more Verifiable Credentials with a verifier, proving you hold the credentials without revealing unnecessary information.

How It Works

1. Holder receives VCs from issuers (e.g., diploma from university)
2. Holder creates a VP containing selected VCs
3. Holder presents the VP to a verifier
4. Verifier checks the VP signature, issuer trust, and credential status

EBSI Presentation Flow

# Create a presentation
ebsi vp create --vc credential.jwt --holder did:ebsi:your-did

# Verify a presentation
ebsi vp verify presentation.jwt
