Arranging display of control icons that enable usage of keys
A user of a mobile device is authenticated in a manner that enables the user access to a credential that has been issued by a credential-issuing organization. One or more keys are identified that are associated with the credential and that enable access to one or more physical resources associated with the credential-issuing organization. A physical orientation of the user's mobile device is determined. A display arrangement of one or more control icons that enable usage of the one or more keys is determined based on a physical orientation of the one or more physical resources relative to the determined physical orientation of the mobile device. The one or more control icons are displayed in accordance with the determined display arrangement.
