Abstract

The model potentially leverages the diffusion of strong multi-factor authentication systems. In order to systematically evaluate the future of cloud-based services for multi-factor authentication, a 3-rounded survey with experts in the German-speaking area was conducted. Results indicate the substantially increasing importance of such services in both organizational and user-centric application fields. Furthermore, seven primary success factors have been identified. Most critical are factors regarding the ease of adoption as well as security- and compliance-related issues.
