TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING CREDENTIALS AND OTHER INFORMATION
Techniques for providing more control to an issuer, e.g., governmental entity, and more particularly their backend team, which may provide citizens with a personalized virtualized experience. This may be achieved by the issuer provisioning adequate data, which is made available to a mobile App and/or verification devices. By using various techniques, the issuer may deliver such information using the same approach as for document data and even along with document data. The information may be packaged in a way that is no different from provisioning a document. In addition, because the document data is digitally signed by the issuer, it ensures authentic information for the user interface.
1 . A method of providing a virtualized credential of a holder, comprising:
receiving, from an issuing entity and on a device of the holder, a set of document data elements and a set of non-document data elements, wherein the document data elements at least partially define the virtualized credential, wherein the document data elements are defined in a set of document data element fields of a data structure, wherein the non-document data elements are defined in a set of non-document data element fields of the data structure, and wherein the non-document data elements are defined by the issuing entity;
displaying, on a user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in a format defined by the non-document data elements, wherein the information at least partially defines the virtualized credential;
displaying, on the user interface, one or more user interface elements corresponding to a respective one or more actions, the one or more actions enumerated using the non-document data elements;
receiving, from the holder, a selection of a user interface element to activate a respective action, on the user interface; and
executing a workflow to implement the action, the workflow at least partially defined by the non-document data elements.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying, on the user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in the format defined by the non-document data elements includes:
displaying text using an alphabet different from that used by the received set of document data elements.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein displaying, on the user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in the format defined by the non-document data elements includes:

displaying a code on the user interface.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein executing a workflow at least partially defined by the non-document data elements includes:
requesting a modification to at least one of the document data elements.
10 . The method of claim 8 , comprising:
transmitting the requested modification to the issuing entity; and
receiving an update to the document data in response to the issuing entity validating and confirming the requested modification.
11 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
permitting access to at least some of the non-document data elements by a verification service.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-document data elements include information representing a service made available by the issuing entity, the method comprising:
displaying, on the user interface of the device of the holder, the information representing the service made available by the issuing entity.
13 . At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for providing a virtualized credential of a holder, that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations to:
receive, from an issuing entity and on a device of the holder, a set of document data elements and a set of non-document data elements, wherein the document data elements at least partially define the virtualized credential, wherein the document data elements are defined in a set of document data element fields of a data structure, wherein the non-document data elements are defined in a set of non-document data element fields of the data structure, and wherein the non-document data elements are defined by the issuing entity;
display, on a user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in a format defined by the non-document data elements, wherein the information at least partially defines the virtualized credential;
display, on the user interface, one or more user interface elements corresponding to a respective one or more actions, the one or more actions enumerated using the non-document data elements;
receive, from the holder, a selection of a user interface element to activate a respective action, on the user interface; and
execute a workflow to implement the action, the workflow at least partially defined by the non-document data elements.
14 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions that cause the machine to perform operations to display, on the user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in the format defined by the non-document data elements comprise instructions to:
display text using an alphabet different from that used by the received set of document data elements.
15 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions that cause the machine to perform operations to display, on the user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in the format defined by the non-document data elements comprise instructions to:
display an icon associated with the virtualized credential in the format defined by the non-document data elements.
16 . The at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions that cause the machine to perform operations to display, on the user interface of the device of the holder, information representing the set of document data elements in the format defined by the non-document data elements comprise instructions to:
display personal information of the holder associated with the virtualized credential in the format defined by the non-document data elements.
