"New Security Woes for Popular IoT Protocols"

Researchers will provide further details on vulnerabilities contained by popular IoT protocols, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) and the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), at Black Hat Europe 2018. According to researchers, the security flaws in these protocols and the ways in which they are implemented could be exploited by attackers to perform denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on IoT devices or remotely control such devices for malicious purposes. This article continues to discuss research findings in relation to the security vulnerabilities of MQTT and CoAP.
