TIME-BASED DEGRADATION OF DIGITAL CREDENTIALS IN A DIGITAL CREDENTIAL PLATFORM

Techniques described herein relate to generation and time-based degradation of digital credentials within digital credentialing environments. A digital credential generation system may include a digital credential issuer and a platform server configured to determine and implement time-based degradation of the digital credentials issued to credential receivers. Different digital credentials may have different associated degradation functions, based on the type of the digital credential and/or additional factors such as the additional credentials issued to the receiver and the monitoring data of the receiver. The magnitude values computed for issued digital credentials, using the degradation functions, may be used to determine credential expiration times, re-credentialing times and/or requirements, and the like.
