Detailed explanation-2: -Is MQTT secure? MQTT communication uses SSL protocol to protect sensitive data transmitted by IoT devices. You can implement identity, authentication, and authorization between clients and the broker using SSL certificates and/or passwords.

Detailed explanation-3: -CoAP is used to move the data, which is collected by a sensor node, to the other networking devices. The CoAP uses two sublayers called the Request/Response Layer and Messaging Layer. CoAP can handle four kinds of messages: Confirmation (CON), Non-Confirmation (NON), Acknowledgement (ACK), and Reset.

Detailed explanation-4: -CoAP makes use of two message types, requests and responses, using a simple, binary, base header format.
