PasskeySigner

All state-changing requests made to the Dfns API need to be cryptographically signed by credentials registered with the User.
Note: To be more precise, it’s not the request itself that needs to be signed, but rather a “User Action Challenge” issued by Dfns. For simplicity, we refer to this process as “request signing”.
This request signature serves as cryptographic proof that only authorized entities are making the request. Without it, the request would result in an Unauthorized error. While implementing an iOS application your backend server will have to communicate with the DFNS API to retrieve this challenge and pass it to your application, PasskeySigner will be used to register and authenticate a user. 
let passkeysSigner = PasskeysSigner()

​
Register

let fido2Attestation = try! await passkeysSigner.register(challenge: challenge)

​
Sign

let fido2Assertion = try! await passkeysSigner.sign(challenge: challenge)
