Digital credentials as guest check-in for physical building access

A system for credential authentication includes an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a create indication to create a guest credential representing a guest badge associated with a visitor and receive a claim indication from an authentication device to claim the guest credential. The processor is configured to provide the guest credential to the authentication device in response to the claim indication, provide a proof request to the authentication device, receive a proof response from the authentication device, validate the proof response, determine a visitor tracking system associated with a request from the authentication device to authenticate entry, and provide a check-in indication to the visitor tracking system that the visitor has checked in.
