}
  1. “max_issued_vcs” - denotes the maximum number of VCs an issuer would issue
  2. “m” - denotes the expiration period
  3. “max_vp_validity” - denotes the maximum validity period of VPs
  4. “k” - number of tokens that can be proven using a single ZK proof (related to optimization)
  5. “duration” - epoch duration.
  6. “revocation_rate” - the percentage of VCs revoked till the expiration period. Each epoch, the following number of VCs would be revoked: (revocation rate∗max issued vcs)/m(\mathsf{revocation \ rate} * \mathsf{max \ issued \ vcs})/\mathsf{m}

​
Modify the parameters needed for benchmarking

Set the following to true to do bencharmking or set false otherwise: 
	"setup": "true",
    "issuance": "true",
    "refresh": "true",
    "revocation": "true",
    "presentation_verification": "true",
    "irma_setup": "false",
    "irma_issuance": "false",
    "irma_revocation_presentation_verification": "false",
    "irma_presentation_and_verification": "false",
