1 Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry First Empirical Results from a Quantitative Survey Nicolas Fähnrich, Michael Kubach Fraunhofer IAO Open Identity Summit Berlin, Germany,

2 Agenda Motivation and Scenario: Automotive Industry Study Design Results Summary 1 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

3 Motivation and Approach Background Analysis of stakeholder requirements and state of the art for the SkIDentity Project Research Question How is the current state-of-the art of identity management and crosscompany identity management? What is the motivation for and the barriers against cross-company IdM? Approach Stakeholder Survey 2 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

4 Scenario: Automotive Industry Competition, Cooperation, IT-Dependence Global industry with high level of competition: Global market Manufactures located all over the world Suppliers in various sizes spread over the world Highly dependent on IT-infrastructure to support processes: ~ 80% of value created in the supply chain (typical car is built with companies) Just-in-Time production System suppliers with major role in development 3 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

5 Survey Overview Survey framework Population: European automotive industry (focus on Germany) Completely standardized questionnaire offered online Participants were contacted by 73 usable questionnaires, response rate of 8.4 % Preliminary Analysis: Descriptive Size of sample companies (employees) 4 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

6 Survey Overview II Size of sample companies (Sales in Millions of EUR) Company location and market 5 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

7 First Survey Results Cloud Computing Diffusion of Cloud Computing Cloud Computing is well-established, but less so across company-borders Perceptions of Cloud Computing Cloud Computing faces general problems in perception for all three dimensions 6 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

8 First Survey Results Identity Management and authentication methods Use of IdM technologies IdM widespread, but not so much for employees from contractors Authentication methods User/PW is not to be abolished, national eids and mobile phones irrelevant 7 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

9 First Survey Results Cross-company Identity Management Use of Crosscompany IdM Willingness to share authentication data fairly low Motivation for crosscompany IdM All factors rated quite low 8 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

10 First Survey Results Barriers to Cross-company Identity Management Use of Crosscompany IdM No outstanding reason except for no need, trust and reliability most important 9 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry

11 Summary Cloud Computing cloud computing solutions used by approximately half of the sample for cloud computing with other involved actors diffusion much lower Identity Management abolition of username and password authentication is not intended by most of the companies public-key infrastructure clearly preferred over other technologies national eids play no relevant role Cross-company Identity Management Use or need seen by about half of the sample Motivation unclear, trust seems to bee a barrier 10 / 11 Fähnrich/Kubach: Identity Management and Cloud Computing in the Automotive Industry
