Abstract
The Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) application layer protocol is widely used in Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. The MQTT standard has no mandatory requirements regarding the security services. A telemedicine is one of the IoT applications that mandates a critical level of security especially when it comes to human life. In this work, the weaknesses of MQTT are addressed and a modified protocol is proposed. This protocol mandates security aspects such as authentication, key exchange, and confidentiality. The protocol is proved to achieve its claims and is incorporated into a telemedicine environment as a critical environment for security.
