Abstract:
The urban mobility landscape is evolving at an amazing rate, with the number of mobility services growing rapidly around the world. This evolution has brought about the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) in providing transportation services. MaaS capitalises on the Internet of Things to provide access to seamless multi- and inter-modal mobility to the end-user. A well implemented MaaS scheme involves many stakeholders, including passengers, producing, sharing, and consuming (personal) data. In order to encourage MaaS uptake in the general population, participating stakeholders must be confident of the ensuing data privacy and security, as part of their interactions with the system. In this paper, we use STRIDE Threat Modeling framework to analyse the threats that may arise in a MaaS ecosystem. From these threats, we develop mitigations that can be used to eliminate and/or reduce such threats. This threat elicitation and their accompanying mitigations can be used as springboards
to establish the necessary security to engender trust in MaaS usage.
