Analysis of Network Protocols for Secure Communication

In the age of constantly evolving technology, network communication has become more critical than ever. Along with this, the need for secure channels for edge communication is undeniable. Two traits of the quality of desirable network protocols are security and reliability. However, these protocols have associated risks. In this work, we provide an in-depth analysis of dominant network protocols on which the new communication protocols (e.g., CoAP, XMPP, AMQP, etc.) of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem heavily relies on.
