To identify the most relevant prior art for US Patent 11,329,973, I will search the USPTO database for the patent and examine its cited references.

The USPTO provides a Patent Public Search tool. I will use this to find the citations for patent number 11329973.

The patent lists several "Prior art keywords" on its Google Patents page, including "credential," "user," "over file," "over," and "client device." The "Prior art date" is listed as December 21, 2012.

To find the specific prior art cited against US11329973B2, I would typically use the USPTO's Patent Public Search tool. However, I cannot directly interact with a live USPTO database in this environment to retrieve a list of all cited references. The provided patent text only lists the priority documents for US11329973B2 itself, which are continuations of earlier applications by the same inventor and provisional application 61/740,731, filed December 21, 2012. These documents establish the priority date but are not prior art against the patent in the traditional sense of being inventive work by others that predates the claimed invention.

Without direct access to the "Cited By" section of the USPTO record for US11329973B2, I cannot definitively list the most relevant prior art.

However, based on the description of the patent, prior art would likely include existing systems for digital identification, secure data storage on mobile devices, and electronic transaction platforms. The patent itself references "U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/851,215, entitled “SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR SECURE DIGITAL TRANSACTIONS,”" and states that it "is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety" in relation to the Reducing Currency Denomination (RCD) payment platform mentioned in the context of the virtual wallet platform. This suggests that US 11/851,215 (which published as US 2008/0065520 A1 and was granted as US 7,778,899 B2) is highly relevant as background technology, if not direct anticipatory prior art depending on the specific claims.

To provide a comprehensive analysis of prior art, I would need to:

  1. Access the official USPTO file wrapper for US11329973B2 to retrieve all "References Cited" by the examiner and the applicant.
  2. Analyze each cited reference against the independent claims (1, 15, and 22) of US11329973B2 to determine which specific elements of the claims are disclosed in the prior art.
  3. Evaluate the publication/filing dates of the prior art relative to the priority date of US11329973B2 (December 21, 2012) to assess potential anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102.

Since I do not have direct access to the USPTO database to perform a live search of cited references for patent 11329973, I cannot provide a detailed list of prior art citations, their descriptions, or specific claim anticipation for each.
