With the growth of the IoT, security is a growing concern. Things the risk of IoT security has been constantly raised, and there have been many cases of hacking. As a result, there is a growing concern and scale about security, but there is a lack of interest and research on the message protocols between Iot devices. With the development of the IoT, the importance of low-power, lightweight and accurate message delivery will become more important and more advanced message protocols will be needed. In this paper, it is aimed to construct the system for communication between client and server of MQTT and CoAP with Confirmative option, which are most used among IoT message protocols and compare the message reliability of each communication protocol to check efficiency.

The technological advancements of the last two decades directed the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT enables billions of devices to connect through the internet and share their information and resources on a global level. These devices can be anything, from smartphones to embedded sensors. The main purpose of IoT is to make devices capable of achieving the desired goal with minimal to no human intervention. Although it hascome as a social and economic blessing, it still brought forward many security risks. This paper focuses on providing a survey of the most commonly used application layer protocols in the IoT domain, namely, Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), and Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP). MQTT, AMQP, and XMPP use TCP for device-to-device communication, while CoAP utilizes UDP to achieve this purpose. MQTT and AMQP are based on a publish/subscribe model, CoAP uses the request/reply model for its structuring. In addition to this, the quality of service provision of MQTT, AMQP, and CoAP is not very high, especially when the deliverance of messages is concerned. The selection of protocols for each application is very a tedious task.This survey discusses the architectures, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of each of these protocols. The main contribution of this work is to describe each of the aforementioned application protocols in detail as well as providing their thorough comparative analysis. This survey will be helpful to the developers in selecting the protocol ideal for their system and/or application.

With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) healthcare devices, significant interoperability issue arises where devices use proprietary data transfer protocols. The IHE PCD-01 standard has been suggested for the exchange of healthcare data in ISO/IEEE 11073 PHD data model. However, the PCD-01 is not efficient to be used in the IoT environment. This is because the use of SOAP for PCD-01 may be too complex to be implemented in the resource-constrained IoT healthcare devices. In this paper, we have designed a communication system to implement ISO/IEEE 11073 and IHE PCD-01 integration using the IETF CoAP. More specifically, we have designed the architecture and procedures, using CoAP, to seamlessly transmit the bio-signal from the tiny resource-constrained IoT healthcare devices to the server in a standardized way. We have also built the agent, gateway, and PCD-01 interface at the server, all of which are using the CoAP as a communication protocol. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we have used the PCD data to be transmitted over CoAP, MQTT, and HTTP. The evaluation of the system performance shows that the use of CoAP results in faster transaction and lesser cost than other protocols, with less battery power consumption.

Internet of Things(IoT) is a technology or environment that collects data by attaching sensors to objects and transmits the collected information to each other through wired / wireless communication in real time. It is expected that when the Internet of objects is activated, many objects can identify and recognize each other by themselves and provide various services to facilitate our lives through mutual information exchange. In addition, the internet market for things is growing rapidly each year, and various IT technologies are expected to converge. In the Internet environment of objects, data exchange technology between object devices, that is, message protocol, is classified as one of important technologies. In this paper, we examine various lightweight message protocols suitable for the Internet environment of objects, and compare the reliability of the CoAP protocol structure with the MQTT protocol for a limited environment. Finally, we confirm the reliability of TCP / TLS and WebSockets-based CoAP transmission protocol of IETF's CoRE WG that can use various transport layers other than UDP in Internet environment including cloud infrastructure.

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.

Due to the remarkable improvement of ICT, with the popularization of mobile devices and every sector of society connected by networks, an era, in which peer to peer, peer to thing, thing to thing can be connected to one another everywhere, has begun. As all the electronic devices are connected to Internet, they have become more intellectualized and automated, making convergence and process of information through the connection of the devices possible to provide a lot better services. However, those devices communicate mutually to send information and they are exposed to various security threats. Therefore, this study analyzes ZigBee, CoAP, MQTT, XMPP, which are communication-related technology of IoT, draws security threats they have, and suggests requirements that components of IoT should have. Plus, it examines real cases about security threats in IoT, and suggests a countermeasure so as to contribute to establishment of a basis for IoT to be used much more safely in the future.

As the interest of things to the Internet increases, the market of IoT grows larger and devices and protocols related with IoT are evolving.As these IoT devices and protocols evolve, There was a problem with interoperability. As a result, market and standard of IoT are confused, and communication between objects and objects is being hindered by different platforms. Currently, various IoT platforms are being developed and interoperability with heterogeneous platforms is under study, but the protocols used on each platform are limited and designed to have no generalized structure. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze services of HTTP, CoAP, and MQTT protocols, which are typical in the Internet market, and design services that enable selective protocol communication. We also design resources that apply the RESTful API to generalize platform usage. and We implemented the platform through database modeling for quick processing and safety of the collected data. Through this process, devices communicating with different protocols can be interworked on one platform and We propose a "generalized selective protocol based Internet object data collecting platform" that can be applied to various protocols.

In this paper, we analyze and compare the performance of different publish and subscribe protocols in the real application environment. This paper provides a horizontal comparison of current publish/subscribe protocols in terms of security, throughput, and delay performance. Thanks to the use of lightweight frameworks, the MQTT protocol has demonstrated excellent performance in terms of delay performance. However, the AMQP protocol has more advantages in security and throughput. Although the REST/HTTP protocol has the worst delay performance, it is excellent in terms of compatibility because it is based on the HTTP protocol.
