To prevent multiple biometric prompts in a short time span

Also nice to have: allow authentication for multiple keys. This would e.g. allow to receive a sd-jwt and mdoc bound to different keys with a single biometric authentication prompt.

For iOS we can create an authentication context beforehand, and then pass a reference to the context: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/ksecuseauthenticationcontext.

We should probably add a method that allows creating an authentication context, and then you get back an identifier that you can use for the specified period of time.

For android the developer.android.com/reference/android/security/keystore/KeyGenParameterSpec.Builder#setUserAuthenticationParameters(int,%20int) authenticates all keys for the period of time, which does have security implications.
