Three major real-time protocols are used by IoT devices today: XMPP, CoAP, and MQTT. Interestingly enough, XMPP started life as Jabber, an open instant messenger protocol.

There’s an often-impenetrable alphabet soup of protocols, standards and technologies around the Internet of Things. Here’s our attempt to wipe away some of the fog, in the hopes of making the ...

IoT protocols are a relatively unexplored field compared to most PC-exposed protocols – it’s bothersome to need a whole radio setup before you can tinker on something, and often, for low-level ...

This protocol offers both the security and the efficiency needed to operate within the bandwidth and power limitations characteristic to the devices that make up IoT networks.

MQTT, a popular IoT messaging protocol and Oasis standard, is often left wide open to attacks. Organizations like hospitals, prisons, and critical infrastructure are often vulnerable to IoT device ...

Japanese cybersecurity firm Trend Micro today published a report on the state of IoT security. The company found that two of the leading machine-to-machine (M2M) protocols have inherent design ...

Sponsored by IDT: Energy-constrained IEEE 802.15.4 sensors and devices will form a major portion of the IoT and must meet IPv6 protocols. 6LoWPAN will make that happen.

5 Ways CFOs Can Implement an Effective Cybersecurity Strategy There is no shortage of discussion on the vast potential of the Internet of Things (IoT).

The internet of things (IoT) is a network of connected smart devices providing rich data, but it can also be a security nightmare.

The research shows how attackers could remotely control IoT endpoints or deny service by leveraging security issues in the design, implementation and deployment of devices using these protocols.
