Lightweight Dynamic Topic-Centric End-to-End Security Mechanism for MQTT

E-MQTT: End-to-End Synchronous and Asynchronous Communication Mechanisms in MQTT Protocol

“…Existing research concerning end-to-end support within MQTT is predominantly focused on security investigations [41][42][43][44][45][46], with some research works [47][48][49][50] also touching on end-to-end services. Park et al [42] introduced a security architecture and protocols designed to establish MQTT security within wireless sensor networks.…”

“…Park et al [42] introduced a security architecture and protocols designed to establish MQTT security within wireless sensor networks. Spina et al [43] presented a lightweight security mechanism for managing security levels in MQTT. Bashir et al [46] proposed a security mechanism that uses lightweight cryptographic operations to provide end-to-end data confidentiality while efficiently managing patient mobility within hospital or home premises.…”

“…The versatility of MQTT is evident through its extensive range of applications, which encompass various domains [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13], including (but not limited to) the Internet of Things (IoT), home and industrial automation, telemetry and remote environment monitoring, energy management, smart agriculture, healthcare, transportation, and social networking systems. As described in Section 2, previous research efforts have explored various aspects of MQTT, including research to enhance MQTT functionalities [2,4,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], comparative analyses with other protocols [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], support for synchronous communication [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], and the facilitation of end-to-end services for security or quality of service (QoS) [41][42][43][44]…”
