DOCOMO adds this new FIDO-for-iOS capability to its suite of 10 FIDO Certified Android devices from Samsung, Fujitsu, Sharp, and Sony Mobile, ensuring that their customers enjoy choice between platforms, devices and biometric authentication modalities including fingerprint touch, fingerprint swipe, and iris recognition.
