Recently, with increasing scale of internet of Things (IoT), a large amount of data are generated and various services using such data are emerging. Therefore, a protocol suitable for IoT environment that can efficiently process / transmit big data is needed. MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol for IoT environment. Although MQTT protocol can use TLS to provide security, it has a problem in that handshake and packet overhead will increase when TLS is used. Therefore, this paper proposed as Secure_MQTT protocol. It can provide stronger security by using lightweight encryption algorithm for MQTT protocol.

The MQTT-SN (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport-Sensor Network) protocol is a message transmission protocol used in a sensor-based Internet of Things (IoT) environment. This MQTT-SN protocol is a publish-subscribe model with a broker in the middle of message transmission, and each IoT device sends and receives messages through an intermediary when delivering messages. However, the MQTT-SN protocol does not provide security-related functions such as message security, mutual authentication, access control, and broker security. Accordingly, various security problems have recently occurred, and a situation in which security is required has emerged. In this paper, we review the security requirements of MQTT-SN once again, and propose a modified protocol that improves security while satisfying the constraints in the environment where the resource of IoT to which this protocol is applied is limited. Unlike the existing protocol, the security field and authentication server have been added to satisfy the security requirements. In addition, the proposed protocol is actually implemented and tested, and the proposed protocol is evaluated for practical use in terms of energy consumption.

In this paper, an MQTT based protocol is designed and implemented for control, management and monitoring of HVAC in a cloud platform in real time. The MQTT protocol is a two-way messaging protocol, and has the generality, flexibility, light weighted, quickness with reliability and security. In the implemented system, performance and reliability of the communication protocol is considered for data acquisition and control between the CCU and the cloud server. Control and monitoring for the cloud server is performed in real time in conjunction with CCU and the MQTT server.

Internet of Things (IoT) is proliferating to provide more intelligent services by interconnecting various Internet devices, and TCP based MQTT is being used as a standard communication protocol of the IoT. Although it is recommended to use TLS/SSL security protocol for TCP with MQTT-based IoT devices, encryption and decryption performance degenerates when applied to low-specification / low-capacity IoT devices. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end message security protocol using elliptic curve cryptosystem, a lightweight encryption algorithm, which improves performance on both sides of the client and server, based on the simulation of TLS/SSL and the proposed protocol.

MQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol that can be used for low power IoT devices. The MQTT basically uses single MQTT broker to indirectly share message information between publishers and subscribers. This approach has a weakness in regard to traffic overflow, connection fault, security, etc. In this paper, we propose a distributed MQTT broker architecture that solves the problems in single MQTT broker structure. The distributed MQTT broker architecture is expected to support new application services that cannot be supported by a conventional MQTT architecture. We have designed and implemented a distributed MQTT broker architecture based on the RPL protocol that has been widely used for IoT network. The experiment results show that the proposed MQTT broker architecture represents better publishing/subscribing latency and network stability than the conventional MQTT broker architecture.

In this paper, In order to solve the traffic of the SNS to be executed on smartphone, we propose the design of the SNS integrated gateway server. Also, we capture the payload size in a variety of methods to send the MQTT protocol and QoS level of MQTT protocol for communication between the client and the Gateway. And we present the results and analysis of packet loss and end-to-end delay. By using analysis proposed, we present the results of the integrated SNS Gateway push notification protocol design.

The need for embedded devices to be able to exchange information with each other and with data centers is essential for the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT). Several existing communication protocols are designed for small devices including the message-queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol or the constrained application protocol (CoAP). However, most of the existing implementations are convenient for computers or smart phones but do not consider the strict constraints and limitations with regard resource usage, portability and configuration. In this paper, we report on an industrial research and development project which focuses on the design, implementation, testing and deployment of a MQTT module. The goal of this project is to develop this module for platforms having minimal RAM, flash code memory and processing power. This software module should be fully compliant with the MQTT protocol specification, portable, and inter-operable with other software stacks. In this paper, we present our approach based on abstraction layers to the design of the MQTT module and we discuss the compliance of the implementation with the requirements set including the MISRA static analysis requirements.

Internet of Things(IoT) is an intelligent technology and service in which all objects communicate with each other through various networks. Recently Internet of Things(IoT) is one of the fields that is attracting attention as the development of ICT industry. MQTT is a protocol which is safe using TLS or adopting light packet structure for effciency of memory and power using. In this paper, when TLS is used the process of encryption / decryption in the broker occurs. We propose an efficient MQTT protocol through centralized key management by adding authentication server.

In this paper, we implemented a home IoT system based on MQTT protocol. In this system, data are collected from sensors in real time and transmitted to the server system. Based on collected data, home devices could be controlled automatically or manually. By using the MQTT protocol, we were able to see the data values of sensors collected in real time according to the topic setting. We implemented a system that automatically sets up home devices based on topic data, and it worked. The system is expected to be useful in applications that require monitoring and tracking of data in real time.

With the rapid advancement of information and communication technology and industrial technologies, a hyper-connected society is being realized to connect human beings, all programs and things via the Internet. IoT (Internet of Thing), which connects a thing and another thing, and things and human beings, gathers information to realize the hyper-connected society. MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a push-technology-based light message transmission protocol that was developed to be optimized to the limited communication environment such as IoT. In pursuing the hyper-connected society, IoT's sensor environment information is now being used as a wide range of information on people's diseases and health management. Thus, security problems of such MQTT include not only the leak of environmental information but also the personal information infringement. To resolve such MQTT security problems, we have designed a new security MQTT communication by applying the initial-value sensitivity and pseudorandomness of the chaotic system to the integrity and confidentiality. The encryption method using our proposed chaotic system offers a simple structure and a small amount of calculation, and it is deemed to be suitable to the limited communication environment such as IoT.
