The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing globally at a fast pace. However, the expansion of the IoT paradigm has brought with it the challenge of promptly detecting and evaluating attacks against these systems. The Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol is one of the most used protocols in the IoT scenario due to its lightness. The MQTT-SN protocol, which is an even lighter version of MQTT, is specially designed for embedded devices on non-TCP/IP networks. This paper presents an exhaustive assessment of the MQTT-SN protocol and describes its shortcomings, which can allow an attacker to compromise the security of the entire IoT infrastructure. We have designed 3 different attacks in order to allow us to evaluate the different security impacts on a real MQTT-SN network. All the attacks were implemented and tested, and we show how they work and their impact on performance. Furthermore, a non-attacked scenario was also implemented to allow us to compare the performance of an attacked system with that of system without attacks.

This paper pointed out the benefits as well as the security risk that is the result of inconsistencies of software applications from different manufacturers and the lack of standards in IoT devices networks. Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is now one of the most used open protocols in the Internet of Things. The term IoT is often followed by a great enthusiasm of researchers. End-users also share the same sentiment, ignoring the security risks that arise from dropping and reconnecting IoT devices that very often send passwords to server in plain text, while manufacturers often remain silently indifferent. They primary put focus on profitability, but not on safety. In other words, the door on smart homes remains wide open for hackers. This paper gives an overview of one potential solution of the Internet of Things security problem.

“…Moreover, smart irrigation systems developed based on IoT technology consist of constrained nodes in terms of power, memory, and processing resources. As a result, conventional security protocols can not be supported in such systems [ 20 , 21 ]. Transport layer security (TLS) adds overhead in terms of memory and energy on constrained nodes.…”

Due to the recent advances in the domain of smart agriculture as a result of integrating traditional agriculture and the latest information technologies including the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), there is an urgent need to address the information security-related issues and challenges in this field. In this article, we propose the integration of lightweight cryptography techniques into the IoT ecosystem for smart agriculture to meet the requirements of resource-constrained IoT devices. Moreover, we investigate the adoption of a lightweight encryption protocol, namely, the Expeditious Cipher (X-cipher), to create a secure channel between the sensing layer and the broker in the Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol as well as a secure channel between the broker and its subscribers. Our case study focuses on smart irrigation systems, and the MQTT protocol is deployed as the application messaging protocol in these systems. Smart irrigation strives to decrease the misuse of natural resources by enhancing the efficiency of agricultural irrigation. This secure channel is utilized to eliminate the main security threat in precision agriculture by protecting sensors’ published data from eavesdropping and theft, as well as from unauthorized changes to sensitive data that can negatively impact crops’ development. In addition, the secure channel protects the irrigation decisions made by the data analytics (DA) entity regarding the irrigation time and the quantity of water that is returned to actuators from any alteration. Performance evaluation of our chosen lightweight encryption protocol revealed an improvement in terms of power consumption, execution time, and required memory usage when compared with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Moreover, the selected lightweight encryption protocol outperforms the PRESENT lightweight encryption protocol in terms of throughput and memory usage.
