MQTT Security Fundamentals - Wrapping up the complete series

Here's the wrap-up of our MQTT Security Fundamentals, and we are requesting feedback from you, our readers.

In our hyper-connected world, security is very important. In every IoT application, you need to consider security from the start. Our goal with the MQTT Security Fundamental Series was to discuss several key concepts of securing the data exchange over the MQTT protocol.

In case you missed part of the series, here’s a list of all the posts in the right order:

• Introducing the MQTT Security Fundamentals

• Authentication with Username and Password

• Advanced Authentication Mechanisms

• Authorization

• TLS / SSL

• X509 Client Certificate Authentication

• OAuth 2.0 & MQTT

• MQTT Payload Encryption
