Nikolov, N..  2020.  Research of MQTT, CoAP, HTTP and XMPP IoT Communication protocols for Embedded Systems. 2020 XXIX International Scientific Conference Electronics (ET). :1—4.

This paper describe most popular IoT protocols used for IoT embedded systems and research their advantage and disadvantage. Hardware stage used in this experiment is described in this article - it is used Esp32 and programming language C. It is very important to use corrected IoT protocol that is determines of purpose, hardware and software of system. There are so different IoT protocols, because they are cover vary requirements for vary cases.

Grashöfer, J., Titze, C., Hartenstein, H..  2020.  Attacks on Dynamic Protocol Detection of Open Source Network Security Monitoring Tools. 2020 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security (CNS). :1—9.
Protocol detection is the process of determining the application layer protocol in the context of network security monitoring, which requires a timely and precise decision to enable protocol-specific deep packet inspection. This task has proven to be complex, as isolated characteristics, like port numbers, are not sufficient to reliably determine the application layer protocol. In this paper, we analyze the Dynamic Protocol Detection mechanisms employed by popular and widespread open-source network monitoring tools. On the example of HTTP, we show that all analyzed detection mechanisms are vulnerable to evasion attacks. This poses a serious threat to real-world monitoring operations. We find that the underlying fundamental problem of protocol disambiguation is not adequately addressed in two of three monitoring systems that we analyzed. To enable adequate operational decisions, this paper highlights the inherent trade-offs within Dynamic Protocol Detection.

Lavrenovs, Arturs, Visky, Gabor.  2019.  Exploring features of HTTP responses for the classification of devices on the Internet. 2019 27th Telecommunications Forum (℡FOR). :1–4.
Devices that are connected to the Internet are very interesting to security researchers as are at high risk of being attacked, compromised or otherwise abused. To investigate the root causes of the risks it is necessary to understand what classes of devices are affected in different ways. These devices are heterogeneous, thus making it impractical to classify large sets by applying static rules. We propose improvements for manually labelling training sets using HTTP response features for future classification using a neural network.

Kalan, Reza Shokri, Sayit, Muge, Clayman, Stuart.  2019.  Optimal Cache Placement and Migration for Improving the Performance of Virtualized SAND. 2019 IEEE Conference on Network Softwarization (NetSoft). :78–83.

Nowadays, video streaming over HTTP is one of the most dominant Internet applications, using adaptive video techniques. Network assisted approaches have been proposed and are being standardized in order to provide high QoE for the end-users of such applications. SAND is a recent MPEG standard where DASH Aware Network Elements (DANEs) are introduced for this purpose. As web-caches are one of the main components of the SAND architecture, the location and the connectivity of these web-caches plays an important role in the user's QoE. The nature of SAND and DANE provides a good foundation for software controlled virtualized DASH environments, and in this paper, we propose a cache location algorithm and a cache migration algorithm for virtualized SAND deployments. The optimal locations for the virtualized DANEs is determined by an SDN controller and migrates it based on gathered statistics. The performance of the resulting system shows that, when SDN and NFV technologies are leveraged in such systems, software controlled virtualized approaches can provide an increase in QoE.

Sevilla, S., Garcia-Luna-Aceves, J. J., Sadjadpour, H..  2017.  GroupSec: A new security model for the web. 2017 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC). :1–6.
The de facto approach to Web security today is HTTPS. While HTTPS ensures complete security for clients and servers, it also interferes with transparent content-caching at middleboxes. To address this problem and support both security and caching, we propose a new approach to Web security and privacy called GroupSec. The key innovation of GroupSec is that it replaces the traditional session-based security model with a new model based on content group membership. We introduce the GroupSec security model and show how HTTP can be easily adapted to support GroupSec without requiring changes to browsers, servers, or middleboxes. Finally, we present results of a threat analysis and performance experiments which show that GroupSec achieves notable performance benefits at the client and server while remaining as secure as HTTPS.

Many innovations in the field of cryptography have been made in recent decades, ensuring the confidentiality of the message's content. However, sometimes it's not enough to secure the message, and communicating parties need to hide the fact of the presence of any communication. This problem is solved by covert channels. A huge number of ideas and implementations of different types of covert channels was proposed ever since the covert channels were mentioned for the first time. The spread of the Internet and networking technologies was the reason for the use of network protocols for the invention of new covert communication methods and has led to the emergence of a new class of threats related to the data leakage via network covert channels. In recent years, web applications, such as web browsers, email clients and web messengers have become indispensable elements in business and everyday life. That's why ubiquitous HTTP messages are so useful as a covert information containers. The use of HTTP for the implementation of covert channels may increase the capacity of covert channels due to HTTP's flexibility and wide distribution as well. We propose a detailed analysis of all known HTTP covert channels and techniques of their detection and capacity limitation.

Leong, P., Liming Lu.  2014.  Multiagent Web for the Internet of Things. Information Science and Applications (ICISA), 2014 International Conference on. :1-4.

The Internet of Things (IOT) is a network of networks where massively large numbers of objects or things are interconnected to each other through the network. The Internet of Things brings along many new possibilities of applications to improve human comfort and quality of life. Complex systems such as the Internet of Things are difficult to manage because of the emergent behaviours that arise from the complex interactions between its constituent parts. Our key contribution in the paper is a proposed multiagent web for the Internet of Things. Corresponding data management architecture is also proposed. The multiagent architecture provides autonomic characteristics for IOT making the IOT manageable. In addition, the multiagent web allows for flexible processing on heterogeneous platforms as we leverage off web protocols such as HTTP and language independent data formats such as JSON for communications between agents. The architecture we proposed enables a scalable architecture and infrastructure for a web-scale multiagent Internet of Things.
