“…The following papers [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] address the incorporation of MQTT systems into custom key agreement schemes as a two-phase authentication mechanism. There are papers that focus solely on authentication mechanisms for MQTT, such as [26][27][28][29][30]. There are also studies that propose a distributed architecture for MQTT without focusing on security solutions [31][32][33][34][35].…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) market is currently one of the most dynamically developing branches of technology. The increase in the number of devices and their capabilities make them present in every area of life—from construction to medicine. Due to flourishing industrial automation and wireless connectivity, all devices in buildings can be networked, which significantly improves comfort, energy efficiency, and thus significantly affects the promotion of the idea of sustainable development. This article proposes to build a system to monitor an energy management system by collecting information about temperature, humidity and pressure. The concept of the system is based on the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) communication protocol, a wireless network, an ESP8266 microcontroller and a BME280 sensor. Sensors and actuators are connected to the ESP8266, and a Mosquitto-based MQTT broker is placed on the RPi and set up for remote monitoring and control. An innovative approach to the use of database systems dedicated to time series on the example of InfluxDB and data visualization in the Grafana environment was also presented. The proposed system was built in laboratory conditions in 2022 and used to monitor and control energy consumption in real time, depending on Polish weather conditions.

The expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has brought with it the challenge of promptly detecting and evaluating attacks against the systems coexisting in it. One of the most recurrent methods used by cybercriminals is to exploit the vulnerabilities found in communication protocols, which can lead to them accessing, altering, and making data inaccessible and even bringing down a device or whole infrastructure. In the case of the IoT, the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is one of the most-used ones due to its lightness, allowing resource-constrained devices to communicate with each other. Improving its effectiveness, a lighter version of this protocol, namely MQTT for Sensor Networks (MQTT-SN), was especially designed for embedded devices on non-TCP/IP networks. Taking into account the importance of these protocols, together with the significance that security has when it comes to protecting the high-sensitivity data exchanged in IoT networks, this paper presents an exhaustive assessment of the MQTT-SN protocol and describes its shortcomings. In order to do so, seven different highly heterogeneous attacks were designed and tested, evaluating the different security impacts that they can have on a real MQTT-SN network and its performance. Each one of them was compared with a non-attacked implemented reference scenario, which allowed the comparison of an attacked system with that of a system without attacks. Finally, using the knowledge extracted from this evaluation, a threat detector is proposed that can be deployed in an IoT environment and detect previously unmodeled attacks.
