Verifiable Presentation
A verifiable presentation is the tamper-evident package a holder assembles from one or more verifiable credentials to share with a verifier in response to a specific request, rather than handing over a whole credential.
A verifiable presentation can combine claims from several different credentials into a single response, and is bound to the holder presenting it with its own signature, so a verifier can confirm the person presenting it is the one it was issued to. It is what a wallet actually sends over OpenID4VP: a purpose-built response to one request, not a copy of the underlying credentials themselves.
