NTT DoCoMo to Launch Client Authentication Service via 3G FOMA Network
June 21, 2003
NTT DoCoMo announced that they will introduce the FirstPass SSL client
authentication service via the 3G network in conjunction with the launch
of new F2102V and N2102V FOMA handsets.
SSL client authentication is currently the most popular authentication
technology for the internet. The new service will provide enterprises
and individuals with extra-high security when using DoCoMo FOMA phones
for mobile internet transactions, such as on-line shopping, trading, or
accessing corporate intranets. The new service is expected to be well
received by enterprises and individuals alike, given the rapid increase
in the use of cellular phones for mobile internet services.
DoCoMo will provide each FirstPass user with a digital certificate based
on the PKI (public key infrastructure) standard. The certificate, which
is stored along with other subscriber information in the handset's removable
FOMA UIM Card, identifies the individual user, thus providing a simpler
yet more secure format than a conventional ID and password. With FirstPass,
both users and enterprises are assured of the reduced risk of spoofing
(impersonation).
The service will initially be available for DoCoMo's upcoming F2102V
and N2102V FOMA handsets. There is no additional monthly charge to use
the service. Application can be made online with the handset.
Enterprises wishing to use FirstPass must apply via the MM Service Center
or DoCoMo's Corporate Marketing Department. A one-time application fee
for 3,000 yen will be required. Initially, 20 companies are planning to
adopt FirstPass service in their solutions or products.
