# init(credentialIdentity:clientDataHash:userVerificationPreference:supportedAlgorithms:)

Initializes a passkey credential request, identifying supported algorithms with constants.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(credentialIdentity: ASPasskeyCredentialIdentity, clientDataHash: Data, userVerificationPreference: ASAuthorizationPublicKeyCredentialUserVerificationPreference, supportedAlgorithms: [ASCOSEAlgorithmIdentifier])
```

## Parameters

- `credentialIdentity`: The identity of the requested passkey credential.
- `clientDataHash`: Hash of the client data from the passkey authentication challenge.
- `userVerificationPreference`: The relying party’s user verification preference.
- `supportedAlgorithms`: A list of cryptographic signature algorithms that the relying party supports.

## Discussion

Discussion For credential assertion requests, supply an empty array for the supportedAlgorithms. For credential registration requests, supply an array of one or more ASCOSEAlgorithmIdentifier values.
