1. A system for verifying and digitally signing an interdependent credential collection wherein credentials in the interdependent credential collection are digitally signed by a primary source provider or credential issuer, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors;
one or more computer memories; and
a storage device configured to store one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more physical processors, configure the one or more physical processors to:
define a first interdependent credential collection comprising a first plurality of digital credentials linked together in the one or more computer memories via a linked data format and having a first interdependent credential collection status identifier indicating a status of the first interdependent credential collection;
wherein if all of the first plurality of digital credentials are validated and verified, the first interdependent credential collection status identifier is set to a verified state and if at least one of the first plurality of digital credentials is not validated and verified, the first interdependent credential collection status identifier is set to an unverified state;
wherein each individual digital credential of the first plurality of digital credentials is cryptographically verifiable and comprises machine-readable data, at least one item of legitimate information provided by a primary source provider or issuer expressing a claim made by one person or organization about another, and a digital credential status identifier indicating a status of the individual digital credential determined based on one or more attributes associated with the individual digital credential;
wherein the status identifier for an individual digital credential indicates whether that individual digital credential may be used to satisfy a parameter of the first interdependent credential collection;
validate a format of the individual digital credentials of the first plurality of digital credentials to confirm the individual digital credentials are in a format compatible with the first interdependent credential collection;
determine whether the status identifiers for each of the individual digital credentials of the first plurality of digital credentials satisfy a verification parameter, the verification parameter comprising an indication from the primary source provider or issuer that the individual digital credential is still accurate;
set the status identifier of each of the individual digital credentials of the first plurality of digital credentials that have been determined to satisfy the verification parameter to verified;
verify the first interdependent credential collection based on a determination that the status identifiers for each of the individual digital credentials of the first plurality of digital credentials are set to verified;
set the first interdependent credential collection status identifier to verified; and
digitally sign the verified first interdependent credential collection.
