Japan's leading mobile operator, NTT Docomo Inc., said it plans to allow users to access services (including books, games, music and deliveries), and make payments using iris recognition or fingerprint authentication.
Docomo said it expects to become the world's first mobile operator to integrate services with smartphones capable of FIDO-enabled, multiple biometric authentication.
