Provide a MQTT C++ code from beginner to pro

Here's a structured progression of MQTT C++ code, starting from basic connectivity to advanced
message handling and persistence. I'll break it into steps, so you can build up your knowledge.

1. Install MQTT Libraries

Before running the code, install an MQTT library for C++. I recommend Eclipse Paho MQTT C++.

Installation on Linux/macOS

sh

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libpaho-mqttpp3-dev libpaho-mqtt3c-dev

For Windows, use vcpkg:

sh

vcpkg install paho-mqttpp3

2. Basic MQTT Client (Beginner)

A simple client that connects to an MQTT broker and publishes a message.

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/client.h>

const std::string SERVER_ADDRESS = "tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883";

const std::string CLIENT_ID = "mqtt_cpp_client";
const std::string TOPIC = "test/topic";

int main() {
mqtt::client client(SERVER_ADDRESS, CLIENT_ID);

try {
std::cout << "Connecting to the MQTT broker..." << std::endl;
client.connect();
std::cout << "Connected successfully!" << std::endl;

mqtt::message_ptr msg = mqtt::make_message(TOPIC, "Hello, MQTT!");

msg->set_qos(1); // QoS 1: At least once
client.publish(msg);

std::cout << "Message published: Hello, MQTT!" << std::endl;

client.disconnect();
std::cout << "Disconnected from the broker." << std::endl;
} catch (const mqtt::exception& exc) {
std::cerr << "MQTT Error: " << exc.what() << std::endl;
}

 return 0;
}

✅ Key Concepts:
Connects to a broker (`hivemq.com` as an example).
Publishes a message to a topic.
Disconnects from the broker.

3. MQTT Subscriber (Intermediate)

A client that subscribes to a topic and listens for messages.

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/client.h>

const std::string SERVER_ADDRESS = "tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883";

const std::string CLIENT_ID = "mqtt_cpp_subscriber";
const std::string TOPIC = "test/topic";

class Callback : public virtual mqtt::callback {

public:
void message_arrived(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {
std::cout << "Received message: " << msg->to_string() << " on topic: " << msg->get_topic() <
}
};

int main() {
mqtt::client client(SERVER_ADDRESS, CLIENT_ID);
Callback cb;
client.set_callback(cb);

try {
std::cout << "Connecting to broker..." << std::endl;
client.connect();
std::cout << "Connected and subscribing to topic: " << TOPIC << std::endl;

client.subscribe(TOPIC, 1); // QoS 1: At least once

// Keep running
while (true) { std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(1000)); }

} catch (const mqtt::exception& exc) {

std::cerr << "Error: " << exc.what() << std::endl;
}

return 0;
}

✅ Key Concepts:
Uses callbacks to handle incoming messages.
Subscribes to a topic and listens for messages continuously.

4. Advanced MQTT Client with Persistence and Reconnection

(Pro)

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 2/123
A robust client that handles disconnections, persistent sessions, and QoS 2 messaging.

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/async_client.h>

const std::string SERVER_ADDRESS = "tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883";

const std::string CLIENT_ID = "mqtt_cpp_advanced_client";
const std::string TOPIC = "test/persistent";

class Callback : public virtual mqtt::callback, public virtual mqtt::iaction_listener {

mqtt::async_client& client;

public:
Callback(mqtt::async_client& cli) : client(cli) {}

void on_success(const mqtt::token&) override { std::cout << "Action success" << std::endl; }
void on_failure(const mqtt::token&) override { std::cout << "Action failed" << std::endl; }

void connection_lost(const std::string& cause) override {

std::cout << "Connection lost: " << cause << std::endl;
std::cout << "Attempting to reconnect..." << std::endl;
client.reconnect();
}

void message_arrived(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {

std::cout << "Received: " << msg->to_string() << " on topic: " << msg->get_topic() << std::e
}

void delivery_complete(mqtt::delivery_token_ptr token) override {

std::cout << "Delivery complete for message ID: " << (token ? std::to_string(token->get_mess
}
};

int main() {
mqtt::async_client client(SERVER_ADDRESS, CLIENT_ID, "./persistence");
Callback cb(client);
client.set_callback(cb);

mqtt::connect_options connOpts;
connOpts.set_clean_session(false); // Persistent session

try {
std::cout << "Connecting..." << std::endl;
client.connect(connOpts)->wait();
std::cout << "Connected!" << std::endl;

client.subscribe(TOPIC, 2); // QoS 2: Exactly once

// Publish a persistent message

mqtt::message_ptr pubmsg = mqtt::make_message(TOPIC, "Persistent message");
pubmsg->set_qos(2);
client.publish(pubmsg)->wait_for(std::chrono::seconds(2));

// Keep running
while (true) { std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(1000)); }

} catch (const mqtt::exception& exc) {

std::cerr << "Error: " << exc.what() << std::endl;
}

return 0;
}

✅ Key Concepts:
Uses async_client for non-blocking operations.
Implements reconnection logic in case of failures.
Persistent session ensures messages aren’t lost.

 Uses QoS 2 (exactly-once messaging) for reliability.

5. MQTT Broker Setup (Optional)

If you want to run your own broker instead of using `hivemq.com`, install Mosquitto:

On Linux/macOS:

sh

sudo apt install mosquitto mosquitto-clients

sudo systemctl enable mosquitto
sudo systemctl start mosquitto

On Windows:

Download and install Mosquitto from https://mosquitto.org/download/.

To test your broker:

sh

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t "test/topic"

mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t "test/topic" -m "Hello from CLI!"

Final Thoughts
🔹 Beginner: Connect, publish, and subscribe.
🔹 Intermediate: Use callbacks for real-time messages.
🔹 Advanced: Implement persistence, QoS 2, and reconnection handling.
🔹 Pro: Run your own broker with Mosquitto.
Would you like me to guide you on securing MQTT with TLS authentication? 🚀

yes

Securing MQTT with TLS Authentication (C++)

To secure your MQTT communication, TLS (Transport Layer Security) ensures encryption and prevents
unauthorized access. Below is a step-by-step guide on configuring TLS in C++ with Eclipse Paho MQTT.

1. Generate TLS Certificates

To enable TLS security, you need:

A Certificate Authority (CA) certificate

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 4/123
 A Server certificate
A Client certificate and private key (optional for client authentication)

Generate Certificates using OpenSSL

Step 1: Create a Certificate Authority (CA)

sh

openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

Step 2: Create Server Certificate

sh

openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 365

Step 3: Create Client Certificate (Optional)

sh

openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048

openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days 365

2. Configure MQTT Broker (Mosquitto) for TLS

Modify the Mosquitto configuration file (e.g., `/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf`):

ini

listener 8883
cafile /etc/mosquitto/ca.crt
certfile /etc/mosquitto/server.crt
keyfile /etc/mosquitto/server.key

require_certificate true
use_identity_as_username true

🔹 This enables TLS on port 8883 and requires clients to present valid certificates.
Restart Mosquitto:

sh

sudo systemctl restart mosquitto

3. Secure MQTT Client in C++ (TLS Authentication)

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 5/123
Modify your MQTT client to use SSL/TLS encryption.

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/async_client.h>

const std::string SERVER_ADDRESS = "ssl://your_broker_address:8883"; // Use SSL protocol

const std::string CLIENT_ID = "mqtt_secure_client";
const std::string TOPIC = "test/secure_topic";

// Paths to TLS certificates

const std::string CA_CERT = "ca.crt";
const std::string CLIENT_CERT = "client.crt";
const std::string CLIENT_KEY = "client.key";

class Callback : public virtual mqtt::callback, public virtual mqtt::iaction_listener {

public:
void on_success(const mqtt::token&) override { std::cout << "Action success" << std::endl; }
void on_failure(const mqtt::token&) override { std::cout << "Action failed" << std::endl; }
void connection_lost(const std::string& cause) override {
std::cout << "Connection lost: " << cause << std::endl;
}
void message_arrived(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {
std::cout << "Received: " << msg->to_string() << " on topic: " << msg->get_topic() << std::e
}
};

int main() {
mqtt::async_client client(SERVER_ADDRESS, CLIENT_ID);
Callback cb;
client.set_callback(cb);

// Configure SSL options

mqtt::ssl_options sslOpts;
sslOpts.set_trust_store(CA_CERT); // CA certificate
sslOpts.set_key_store(CLIENT_CERT); // Client certificate
sslOpts.set_private_key(CLIENT_KEY); // Client private key

mqtt::connect_options connOpts;
connOpts.set_ssl(sslOpts);
connOpts.set_clean_session(true);

try {
std::cout << "Connecting securely to MQTT broker..." << std::endl;
client.connect(connOpts)->wait();
std::cout << "Secure connection established!" << std::endl;

client.subscribe(TOPIC, 1);

mqtt::message_ptr pubmsg = mqtt::make_message(TOPIC, "Hello, Secure MQTT!");

pubmsg->set_qos(1);
client.publish(pubmsg)->wait();

std::cout << "Message sent securely." << std::endl;

while (true) { std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::milliseconds(1000)); }

} catch (const mqtt::exception& exc) {

std::cerr << "Error: " << exc.what() << std::endl;
}

return 0;
}

4. Test Secure MQTT Connection

Use Mosquitto Client to Verify

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 6/123
 1. Start the Mosquitto subscriber:

sh

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -p 8883 --cafile ca.crt -t "test/secure_topic"

2. Publish a secure message:

sh

mosquitto_pub -h localhost -p 8883 --cafile ca.crt -t "test/secure_topic" -m "Hello from CLI!"

5. Enhancements
🔹 Using Mutual TLS Authentication
If `require_certificate true` is set in Mosquitto, the client must provide `client.crt` and
`client.key`.

🔹 Adding Username & Password

If using username/password authentication, modify `mosquitto.conf`:

ini

allow_anonymous false
password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwords.txt

Create credentials:

sh

mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwords.txt username

sudo systemctl restart mosquitto

Modify the C++ client:

cpp

connOpts.set_user_name("username");
connOpts.set_password("password");

Final Thoughts
✅ Basic Security: Use TLS encryption to prevent data leaks.
✅ Advanced Security: Implement mutual TLS authentication with client certificates.
✅ Authentication: Add username & password authentication for extra security.

Deploying MQTT with TLS in Docker

This guide will help you set up an MQTT broker (Mosquitto) with TLS in Docker, ensuring encrypted
communication for secure messaging.

1. Create a Docker Network

To allow containers to communicate securely, create a dedicated network:

sh

docker network create mqtt_network

2. Generate TLS Certificates

If you haven't already generated certificates, do this first.

Generate CA Certificate

sh

openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

Generate Server Certificate

sh

openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 365

Generate Client Certificate (Optional)

sh

openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048

openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days 365

3. Create a Mosquitto Configuration File

Create a mosquitto.conf file with TLS settings:

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 8/123
 ini

listener 8883
protocol mqtt
cafile /mosquitto/config/certs/ca.crt
certfile /mosquitto/config/certs/server.crt
keyfile /mosquitto/config/certs/server.key

require_certificate true
use_identity_as_username true

allow_anonymous false
password_file /mosquitto/config/passwords.txt

🔹 Port 8883 is used for secure MQTT communication.

🔹 forces client certificate authentication.
🔹
`require_certificate true`
`password_file`allows username/password authentication.

4. Create a Password File (Optional)

To enable username/password authentication:

sh

touch passwords.txt
mosquitto_passwd -b passwords.txt myuser mypassword

Place `passwords.txt` in the `config` directory.

5. Create the Docker Compose File

Create a `docker-compose.yml` file to define the Mosquitto broker with TLS.

yaml

version: '3.8'

services:
mosquitto:
image: eclipse-mosquitto
container_name: mqtt_broker
restart: unless-stopped
networks:
- mqtt_network
volumes:
- ./config/mosquitto.conf:/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf:ro
- ./config/certs:/mosquitto/config/certs:ro
- ./config/passwords.txt:/mosquitto/config/passwords.txt:ro
ports:
- "8883:8883"

🔹 Volumes mount certificates and configuration files inside the container.

🔹 Port 8883 is exposed for secure connections.
🔹 Restart Policy ensures the broker restarts if it crashes.
6. Run the Mosquitto MQTT Broker

MQTT Coding Designs & Best Practices

When developing MQTT-based systems, using well-structured design patterns ensures scalability,
reliability, and efficiency. Below are different MQTT coding designs, progressing from basic to
enterprise-level architectures.

1. Basic MQTT Design (Publisher-Subscriber)

🔹 Use Case: Small-scale applications, IoT, basic messaging.
🔹 Design: Direct one-to-many messaging using topics.
Example: Basic MQTT Messaging

Publisher:

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/client.h>

const std::string SERVER = "tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883";

const std::string TOPIC = "iot/data";

int main() {
mqtt::client client(SERVER, "publisher1");
client.connect();

mqtt::message_ptr msg = mqtt::make_message(TOPIC, "Sensor Data: 42");

msg->set_qos(1);
client.publish(msg);

client.disconnect();
}

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 12/123
Subscriber:

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/client.h>

const std::string SERVER = "tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883";

const std::string TOPIC = "iot/data";

class Callback : public virtual mqtt::callback {

void message_arrived(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {
std::cout << "Received: " << msg->to_string() << std::endl;
}
};

int main() {
mqtt::client client(SERVER, "subscriber1");
Callback cb;
client.set_callback(cb);

client.connect();
client.subscribe(TOPIC, 1);

while (true) { std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1)); }

}

✅ Best Practices:
Use QoS 1 or 2 for reliability.
Use unique client IDs to prevent disconnections.

2. MQTT Client Factory Pattern

🔹 Use Case: Creating multiple publishers/subscribers dynamically.
🔹 Design: Encapsulate MQTT client initialization in a factory.
Example: MQTT Factory

cpp

class MQTTClientFactory {
public:
static mqtt::async_client create_client(const std::string& broker, const std::string& client_id
return mqtt::async_client(broker, client_id);
}
};

// Usage
mqtt::async_client publisher = MQTTClientFactory::create_client("tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883", "pub
mqtt::async_client subscriber = MQTTClientFactory::create_client("tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883", "su

✅ Best Practices:
Makes code more scalable and maintainable.
Ensures consistent initialization across clients.

3. MQTT Command Pattern

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 13/123
🔹 Use Case: When multiple actions (publish, subscribe, disconnect) must be managed dynamically.
🔹 Design: Encapsulate each MQTT operation into a command object.
Example: Command Pattern for MQTT

cpp

class MQTTCommand {
public:
virtual void execute(mqtt::async_client& client) = 0;
};

class PublishCommand : public MQTTCommand {

std::string topic, message;
public:
PublishCommand(const std::string& t, const std::string& m) : topic(t), message(m) {}
void execute(mqtt::async_client& client) override {
mqtt::message_ptr msg = mqtt::make_message(topic, message);
msg->set_qos(1);
client.publish(msg);
}
};

class SubscribeCommand : public MQTTCommand {

std::string topic;
public:
SubscribeCommand(const std::string& t) : topic(t) {}
void execute(mqtt::async_client& client) override {
client.subscribe(topic, 1);
}
};

// Usage
mqtt::async_client client("tcp://broker.hivemq.com:1883", "command_client");
PublishCommand publishCmd("test/topic", "Hello Command Pattern");
SubscribeCommand subscribeCmd("test/topic");

publishCmd.execute(client);
subscribeCmd.execute(client);

✅ Best Practices:
Allows dynamic command execution.
Decouples MQTT operations from application logic.

4. MQTT Middleware Design

🔹 Use Case: Decoupling MQTT clients from application logic.
🔹 Design: Use an MQTT Middleware Service that handles all MQTT connections.
Example: Middleware Service

cpp

class MQTTMiddleware {
mqtt::async_client client;
public:
MQTTMiddleware(const std::string& broker, const std::string& clientID)
: client(broker, clientID) {}

void connect() { client.connect(); }

void publish(const std::string& topic, const std::string& message) {

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 14/123
 mqtt::message_ptr msg = mqtt::make_message(topic, message);
msg->set_qos(1);
client.publish(msg);
}
void subscribe(const std::string& topic) { client.subscribe(topic, 1); }
};

✅ Best Practices:
Encapsulates MQTT logic into a service.
Makes future enhancements easier (e.g., adding security).

5. MQTT Event-Driven Architecture

🔹 Use Case: Real-time IoT systems or microservices using events.
🔹 Design: Events are processed asynchronously via event handlers.
Example: Event-Driven MQTT

cpp

class MQTTEvent {
public:
virtual void handle_event(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) = 0;
};

class TemperatureEvent : public MQTTEvent {

public:
void handle_event(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {
std::cout << "Processing temperature data: " << msg->to_string() << std::endl;
}
};

class MQTTHandler : public mqtt::callback {

MQTTEvent* event;
public:
MQTTHandler(MQTTEvent* e) : event(e) {}

void message_arrived(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {

event->handle_event(msg);
}
};

✅ Best Practices:
Allows multiple event types (temperature, humidity, etc.).
Decouples event handling from MQTT logic.

6. MQTT Load Balancing with Multiple Brokers

🔹 Use Case: Large-scale applications needing fault tolerance.
🔹 Design: Clients connect to multiple brokers using round-robin selection.
Example: Load Balancer

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 15/123
 cpp

class MQTTLoadBalancer {
std::vector<std::string> brokers = {
"tcp://broker1.com:1883", "tcp://broker2.com:1883"
};
int index = 0;

public:
std::string get_next_broker() {
index = (index + 1) % brokers.size();
return brokers[index];
}
};

// Usage
MQTTLoadBalancer lb;
mqtt::async_client client(lb.get_next_broker(), "client_id");

✅ Best Practices:
Distributes load across multiple brokers.
Improves fault tolerance in case of broker failure.

7. MQTT with Edge Computing

🔹 Use Case: Reduce latency for IoT applications.
🔹 Design: Edge devices act as local brokers before sending data to the cloud.
Example: Edge MQTT Broker

1. Run Mosquitto MQTT Broker on Edge Device

sh

mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

2. Modify C++ Client to Connect to Edge First

cpp

const std::string EDGE_BROKER = "tcp://192.168.1.100:1883";

mqtt::async_client edge_client(EDGE_BROKER, "edge_device");

✅ Best Practices:
Reduces cloud communication costs.
Improves latency by processing data locally.

Final Thoughts
✔️ Basic MQTT Design → Publisher-Subscriber model.
✔️ Advanced MQTT Patterns → Factory, Command, Middleware.
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 16/123
✔️ Scalable Solutions → Load Balancing, Edge Computing.
✔️ Enterprise-Grade → Event-Driven MQTT, Fault-Tolerant Brokers.
Would you like MQTT microservices architecture for a real-world system? 🚀

both

MQTT Microservices Architecture & Real-World System Design

To create a scalable and fault-tolerant MQTT system, microservices architecture ensures modular,
loosely coupled services for better performance and maintainability.

1. Why Use Microservices for MQTT?

✅ Scalability – Services can scale independently.
✅ Fault Tolerance – If one service fails, others continue.
✅ Flexibility – Easily modify or replace components.
✅ Security – Isolate different service responsibilities.
2. MQTT Microservices Architecture Design
A real-world IoT system using MQTT microservices consists of:

Edge Devices → IoT sensors publishing data to an MQTT broker.

MQTT Broker → Centralized broker (or clustered brokers).
Microservices:
Message Processor → Listens for incoming messages.
Data Storage Service → Stores messages in a database.
Notification Service → Sends alerts (Email, SMS).
REST API Gateway → Allows external applications to interact.
Dashboard/Frontend → Visualizes data from MQTT.

3. Implementing MQTT Microservices (C++ + Python)

Each microservice runs independently but communicates via MQTT.

3.1. MQTT Message Processor Service

Receives MQTT messages and routes them to the appropriate service.

C++ Implementation

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/async_client.h>

const std::string SERVER = "tcp://localhost:1883";

const std::string TOPIC = "iot/sensor/data";

class Callback : public virtual mqtt::callback {

Would you like load balancing & failover for MQTT brokers in Kubernetes? 🚀

yes

Production-Grade MQTT Load Balancing & Failover in Kubernetes

To ensure high availability and fault tolerance, we need load balancing and failover mechanisms for
MQTT brokers in Kubernetes.

1. Why Load Balancing & Failover for MQTT?

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 26/123
✅ Handles high traffic – Distributes load across multiple brokers.
✅ Ensures uptime – If a broker fails, another takes over.
✅ Prevents single points of failure – Automatic failover.
✅ Supports scalability – Easily add brokers when needed.
2. Architecture Overview
We deploy multiple MQTT brokers and use a load balancer (HAProxy/Nginx/Kubernetes Service) for
distributing traffic.

High Availability MQTT Architecture

diff

+----------------------------+
| Kubernetes Ingress (LB) |
| (HAProxy / Nginx) |
+----------------------------+
|
+------------+------------+------------+
| MQTT Broker 1 | MQTT Broker 2 | MQTT Broker 3 |
| (Eclipse Mosquitto) | (Eclipse Mosquitto) | (Eclipse Mosquitto) |
+------------+------------+------------+
|
+------------+------------+
| Clients (C++/Python) |
| Connecting via LB |
+------------+------------+

✅ MQTT clients only connect to the load balancer.

✅ If one broker fails, others handle traffic automatically.
3. Kubernetes Deployment for MQTT Brokers
We deploy multiple MQTT brokers and expose them via a LoadBalancer Service.

3.1. Create MQTT ConfigMap

This stores the Mosquitto configuration inside Kubernetes.

yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: mosquitto-config
data:
mosquitto.conf: |
listener 1883
allow_anonymous true

3.2. Deploy Multiple MQTT Brokers

This deploys 3 replicas of Mosquitto.

mountPath: /mosquitto/config
volumes:
- name: config
configMap:
name: mosquitto-config

✅ Key Features:
3 replicas ensure high availability.
Uses ConfigMap for centralized configuration.

3.3. Create a LoadBalancer Service

This exposes the brokers via a single entry point.

yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: mqtt-loadbalancer
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: mqtt-broker
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 1883
targetPort: 1883

✅ Clients connect to `mqtt-loadbalancer:1883`, and Kubernetes routes requests to the available

brokers.

4. HAProxy Load Balancing for MQTT

Kubernetes' LoadBalancer distributes traffic randomly. For smarter routing, use HAProxy.

4.1. HAProxy Config

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 28/123
Create `haproxy.cfg`:

ini

global
log stdout format raw local0
maxconn 4096

timeout server 1m

frontend mqtt
bind *:1883
default_backend mqtt_brokers

backend mqtt_brokers
balance leastconn
server broker1 mqtt-broker-0.mqtt-broker.default.svc.cluster.local:1883 check
server broker2 mqtt-broker-1.mqtt-broker.default.svc.cluster.local:1883 check
server broker3 mqtt-broker-2.mqtt-broker.default.svc.cluster.local:1883 check

✅ Least Connections Strategy: Routes traffic to the least loaded broker.

4.2. Deploy HAProxy in Kubernetes

- protocol: TCP
port: 1883
targetPort: 1883

✅ Clients connect to `mqtt-haproxy:1883`, and HAProxy efficiently distributes load.

5. C++ Client with Failover & Load Balancing

Modify the C++ MQTT client to use multiple brokers in case of failures.

cpp

#include <iostream>
#include <mqtt/async_client.h>
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"

// MQTT Servers for Failover

std::vector<std::string> SERVERS = {
"tcp://mqtt-haproxy:1883",
"tcp://broker1:1883",
"tcp://broker2:1883"
};

const std::string CLIENT_ID = "mqtt_failover_client";

const std::string TOPIC = "iot/failover";

class Callback : public virtual mqtt::callback {

public:
void connection_lost(const std::string& cause) override {
spdlog::error("Lost connection: {}", cause);
for (const auto& server : SERVERS) {
try {
spdlog::info("Trying server: {}", server);
mqtt::async_client client(server, CLIENT_ID);
client.connect()->wait();
spdlog::info("Reconnected to {}", server);
return;
} catch (...) {
spdlog::warn("Failed to connect to {}", server);
}
}
spdlog::error("All MQTT brokers unavailable");
}

void message_arrived(mqtt::const_message_ptr msg) override {

spdlog::info("Received: {}", msg->to_string());
}
};

int main() {
mqtt::async_client client(SERVERS[0], CLIENT_ID);
Callback cb;
client.set_callback(cb);

try {
spdlog::info("Connecting...");
client.connect()->wait();
spdlog::info("Connected!");

client.subscribe(TOPIC, 1);
mqtt::message_ptr msg = mqtt::make_message(TOPIC, "Load Balancing Test");
msg->set_qos(1);
client.publish(msg)->wait();

while (true) { std::this_thread::sleep_for(std::chrono::seconds(1)); }

 } catch (const mqtt::exception& exc) {
spdlog::error("Error: {}", exc.what());
}

return 0;
}

✅ Auto-failover: Tries other brokers if the primary one fails.

✅ Load balancing: HAProxy ensures traffic is evenly distributed.
6. Testing High Availability
1. Deploy MQTT brokers:

sh

kubectl apply -f mqtt-deployment.yaml

2. Deploy HAProxy Load Balancer:

sh

kubectl apply -f haproxy.yaml

3. Run the C++ client and check the logs:

sh

./mqtt_client

4. Simulate broker failure:

sh

kubectl scale deployment mqtt-broker --replicas=1

5. Verify the client reconnects to another broker.

7. Final Thoughts
✔ Load Balancing via HAProxy for efficient traffic distribution.
✔ Failover Mechanism in C++ client to reconnect automatically.
✔ High Availability using multiple MQTT brokers in Kubernetes.
✔ Scalable & Fault-Tolerant MQTT architecture.

Securing High-Availability MQTT with TLS & Authentication in Kubernetes

To ensure secure, production-ready MQTT communication, we need TLS encryption and

authentication while maintaining load balancing and failover.

1. Why Secure MQTT with TLS & Authentication?

✅ Prevents Eavesdropping – Encrypts MQTT traffic.
✅ Ensures Client Authentication – Only trusted devices can connect.
✅ Prevents Unauthorized Access – Uses username/password & certificates.
✅ Enhances Reliability – Works seamlessly with HAProxy Load Balancer.
2. MQTT Security Components
Security Feature Implementation
TLS Encryption Encrypts MQTT messages via SSL/TLS certificates
Client Authentication Uses client certificates (Mutual TLS)
Username/Password Adds additional security layer
HAProxy Integration Load balances traffic securely
Failover Support Handles broker failures

3. Generate SSL/TLS Certificates

We generate:

Certificate Authority (CA)

Server Certificate & Key (For Mosquitto brokers)
Client Certificate & Key (For clients)

3.1. Create Certificate Authority (CA)

sh

openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

3.2. Generate Server Certificate

sh

openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 365

3.3. Generate Client Certificate

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 32/123
 sh

openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048

openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days 365

✅ Certificates are now ready for Mosquitto brokers and clients.

4. Secure MQTT Broker in Kubernetes
We modify the Mosquitto configuration to use TLS & authentication.

4.1. Create Mosquitto ConfigMap

yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap

cafile /mosquitto/certs/ca.crt
certfile /mosquitto/certs/server.crt
keyfile /mosquitto/certs/server.key

require_certificate true
use_identity_as_username true

4.2. Store TLS Certificates in Kubernetes Secrets

sh

kubectl create secret generic mqtt-tls-secrets \

--from-file=ca.crt \
--from-file=server.crt \
--from-file=server.key

✅ Kubernetes securely stores TLS keys.

MQTT follows a Publish-Subscribe (Pub/Sub) model, unlike traditional Client-Server models.

Traditional Client-Server Model (Request-Response)

arduino

Client 1 <---- Request ----> Server <---- Request ----> Client 2

🔴 Problems:
Scalability issues: Each client requires a direct connection.
Higher latency: Requests must be processed one by one.

MQTT Publish-Subscribe Model

lua

+------------+ +------------------+ +------------+

| Publisher | ----> | MQTT Broker | ----> | Subscriber |
+------------+ +------------------+ +------------+
|
|
+--------------+
| Subscriber 2 |
+--------------+

✅ Benefits of Pub/Sub Model:

Decoupled Communication: Publishers don’t know about subscribers.
Efficient: No need for polling; messages are pushed in real time.
Scalable: Supports millions of clients.

3. MQTT Components
3.1. MQTT Broker

The central hub that:

Receives messages from publishers.

Filters messages based on topics.
Delivers messages to subscribers.

3.2. MQTT Clients

Clients can be:

Publishers – Send messages to topics.

Subscribers – Receive messages from topics.
Both – A device can publish and subscribe at the same time.

4. MQTT Workflow
Step 1: Connection

A client connects to the broker using:

Client ID
Username & Password (Optional)
TLS Encryption (Optional)

Step 2: Subscription

The client subscribes to a topic:

arduino

Client -> MQTT Broker: "Subscribe to topic: iot/temperature"

Step 3: Publishing

A publisher sends a message to the broker:

bash

Publisher -> MQTT Broker: "Temperature: 25°C" (topic: iot/temperature)

Step 4: Message Delivery

The broker forwards the message to all subscribers of that topic.

5. MQTT Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS ensures message reliability across unreliable networks.

QoS Level Description Guarantee

0 (At most once) Fire-and-forget No guarantee
1 (At least once) Message is resent if not acknowledged Can receive duplicates
2 (Exactly once) Message is delivered once No duplicates

📌 Use Cases:
QoS 0 → Sensor data (if some messages are lost, it's fine).
QoS 1 → Notifications (ensure delivery but allow duplicates).
QoS 2 → Payment transactions (no duplicate messages).

6. MQTT Topics & Wildcards

6.1. Topic Structure

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 38/123
Topics are hierarchical and use `/` as a separator.

bash

iot/temperature
iot/humidity
iot/room1/temp

6.2. Wildcards

Single Level (`+`) → Matches one level.

`iot/+/temp` → Matches `iot/room1/temp`, `iot/room2/temp`.
Multi Level (`#`) → Matches multiple levels.
`iot/#` → Matches `iot/temperature`, `iot/humidity`, `iot/room1/temp`.

7. MQTT Retained Messages & Last Will

7.1. Retained Messages

The broker remembers the last message sent to a topic.

New subscribers receive the last known message immediately.

✅ Use Case:
A device publishes its status ("Online"), and new subscribers see it instantly.

7.2. Last Will & Testament (LWT)

If a client disconnects unexpectedly, the broker publishes a Last Will message.

✅ Use Case:
If a smart home device loses connection, the broker informs others:

bash

iot/device1/status -> "Offline"

8. MQTT Security Mechanisms

🔒 Security is critical for preventing unauthorized access.
Security Feature Implementation
TLS Encryption Encrypts MQTT messages
Username/Password Prevents unauthorized access
Client Certificates Uses mutual authentication
ACL (Access Control List) Restricts topics per user

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 39/123
8.1. TLS Encryption

Encrypts all MQTT traffic.

Required for production systems.

8.2. Client Authentication

Username & Password:

pgsql

client.connect(username="user", password="pass")

Client Certificates:
Uses X.509 certificates for strong authentication.

9. MQTT Load Balancing & High Availability

To handle large-scale systems, use multiple brokers behind a load balancer.

9.1. MQTT Cluster with Load Balancer

lua

+-------------+ +------------------+ +-------------+

| Publisher | ----> | Load Balancer | ----> | MQTT Broker 1 |
+-------------+ +------------------+ +-------------+
|
+----------------------+
| MQTT Broker 2 |
+----------------------+

✅ Load balancing ensures failover & redundancy.

9.2. MQTT Broker Clustering

EMQX and HiveMQ support broker clustering.

Messages are synchronized across brokers.

10. MQTT vs Other Protocols

Feature MQTT HTTP WebSockets
Latency ✅ Low ❌ High ✅ Low
Bandwidth ✅ Low ❌ High ✅ Medium
Persistent ✅ Yes ❌ No ✅ Yes
Security ✅ TLS/Auth ✅ TLS/Auth ✅ TLS/Auth
Scalability ✅ High ❌ Low ✅ Medium

tls explain in detail

Detailed Explanation of TLS in MQTT 🚀🔒

What is TLS (Transport Layer Security)?

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol that ensures secure communication
between MQTT clients and brokers by providing:

🔒 Encryption – Protects MQTT messages from eavesdropping.

✅ Authentication – Verifies the identity of MQTT clients and brokers.
🛡 Data Integrity – Prevents message tampering.
1. How TLS Works in MQTT
When an MQTT client connects to a broker using TLS, the following steps occur:

Step 1: TLS Handshake

1️⃣ Client Hello → The MQTT client sends a request to the broker, listing supported encryption
algorithms.
2️⃣ Server Hello → The broker responds with a selected encryption algorithm and TLS certificate.
3️⃣ Client Certificate (Optional) → If the broker requires mutual TLS authentication, the client sends
its certificate.
4️⃣ Key Exchange → Both sides generate a shared encryption key using the selected algorithm.
5️⃣ Session Established → Secure connection is now ready for encrypted MQTT communication.
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 63/123
Step 2: MQTT over TLS

✔️ All MQTT messages are encrypted before being sent.

✔️ Data integrity checks ensure messages are not altered.
✔️ Unauthorized clients are blocked if authentication fails.
2. TLS Versions & Security Levels
TLS Version Status Security
TLS 1.3 ✅ Recommended 🔥 Most secure, fastest
TLS 1.2 ✅ Still in use 🔒 Secure, widely adopted
TLS 1.1 ❌ Deprecated ❌ Not recommended
TLS 1.0 ❌ Deprecated ❌ Weak security
✅ Use TLS 1.3 or TLS 1.2 for MQTT security.
❌ Disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 due to vulnerabilities.
3. TLS Authentication in MQTT

3.1. Types of TLS Authentication

Authentication Type Description Use Case
Client verifies broker identity using a CA- Public MQTT brokers (e.g.,
Server Authentication
signed certificate. HiveMQ, EMQX).
Client Authentication Broker and client authenticate each other Secure IoT & automotive
(Mutual TLS) using certificates. systems.

3.2. How Mutual TLS (mTLS) Works

📌 mTLS requires both client and broker to present valid certificates.
markdown

1. MQTT Client → Sends its certificate to the broker.

2. MQTT Broker → Verifies the client's certificate.
3. If valid → Secure connection is established.
4. If invalid → Connection is rejected.

✅ Prevents unauthorized MQTT connections.

✅ Used in automotive, banking, and critical IoT applications.
4. Generating TLS Certificates for MQTT
We need:

Certificate Authority (CA)

Server Certificate & Key

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 64/123
 Client Certificate & Key (For mTLS)

Step 1: Generate Certificate Authority (CA)

sh

openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048

openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

✅ Creates a self-signed CA certificate.

Step 2: Generate Server Certificate

sh

openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days 365

✅ Used by the MQTT broker to prove its identity.

Step 3: Generate Client Certificate (For Mutual TLS)

sh

openssl genrsa -out client.key 2048

openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days 365

✅ Used by the MQTT client for authentication.

5. Securing MQTT Broker with TLS
Modify the MQTT broker configuration to enable TLS.

Mosquitto Configuration (`mosquitto.conf`)

ini

listener 8883
protocol mqtt
allow_anonymous false
password_file /mosquitto/config/passwords.txt

cafile /mosquitto/certs/ca.crt
certfile /mosquitto/certs/server.crt
keyfile /mosquitto/certs/server.key

require_certificate true
use_identity_as_username true

✅ TLS enabled on port

✅ Only authenticated clients can connect

 MQTT packet inspection

MQTT Packet Inspection: Analyzing MQTT Messages

MQTT packet inspection involves capturing, decoding, and analyzing MQTT messages to:

Debug MQTT communication

Detect security threats
Monitor network performance
Optimize message payloads for efficiency

1. Understanding MQTT Packets

MQTT packets consist of a fixed header, variable header, and payload.

1.1. MQTT Packet Structure

diff

+------------+---------------+-------------+
| FixedHdr | VariableHdr | Payload |
+------------+---------------+-------------+

Field Size Description

Fixed Header 2 Bytes MQTT Control Packet Type (CONNECT, PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE, etc.)
Variable Header Varies Topic Name, Message ID, QoS, etc.

Payload Varies Actual message content

1.2. Common MQTT Control Packet Types

Control Packet Type Hex Code Description

CONNECT `0x10` Client connects to broker
CONNACK `0x20` Broker acknowledges connection
PUBLISH `0x30` Publish a message
PUBACK `0x40` QoS 1 message acknowledgment
SUBSCRIBE `0x80` Client subscribes to a topic
SUBACK `0x90` Broker acknowledges subscription

2. Tools for MQTT Packet Inspection

2.1. Wireshark (Best for Network-Level Analysis)

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 77/123
✅ Captures MQTT packets in real time.

✅ Detects anomalies and security threats.
Steps to Capture MQTT Packets in Wireshark

1. Open Wireshark and select your network interface.

2. Apply the MQTT filter:

sh

mqtt

3. Analyze MQTT packets with topic names, payloads, and QoS levels.

2.2. Tcpdump (Lightweight CLI Packet Sniffer)

✅ Best for headless servers and low-bandwidth environments.

✅ Efficient for MQTT packet inspection over TCP/1883.
Capture MQTT Packets

sh

sudo tcpdump -i eth0 port 1883 -X

✅ Displays raw MQTT packets in hexadecimal & ASCII format.

Filter Only PUBLISH Messages

sh

sudo tcpdump -i eth0 'tcp port 1883 and tcp[13] & 0x10 != 0' -X

2.3. Mosquitto MQTT Packet Logger

MQTT brokers like Mosquitto support verbose logging to inspect MQTT packets.

Enable Mosquitto Packet Logging

🚀 Additional MQTT Test Scenarios & Enhancements for

Automotive Systems
Beyond the core MQTT vehicle simulation test suite, we can extend the testing capabilities to cover
more real-world automotive use cases, including latency testing, fault injection, AI-driven anomaly
detection, security penetration testing, and real-time monitoring.

📌 1. Advanced MQTT Test Scenarios

These test cases ensure that MQTT communication in automotive systems remains reliable,
scalable, and secure under extreme conditions.

Test Scenario Description

Network Latency & Jitter
Test MQTT performance under delays, packet loss, and high latency.
Simulation
Ensure vehicle messages persist at the edge when cloud connectivity is
Edge-to-Cloud Resilience
lost.
AI-Driven MQTT Anomaly
Use machine learning models to detect unexpected MQTT behaviors.
Detection
Security & Penetration Testing Simulate hacking attempts, DoS attacks, and unauthorized access.
Real-Time Visualization & Alerts Use Grafana & Prometheus to monitor MQTT traffic in real-time.

📌 2. Network Latency & Jitter Testing

📌 Why?
🚗 Vehicles often operate in variable network conditions (e.g., 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi handover, satellite
links).
We need to ensure MQTT communication remains stable under high latency and packet loss.
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 99/123
Test Setup

Use `tc` (Traffic Control) to inject latency & packet loss.

Measure MQTT message round-trip time (RTT).
Validate QoS 2 ensures message integrity.

Test Script: Simulate Network Latency

sh

# Add 500ms latency to all MQTT traffic

sudo tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 500ms

# Add 2% packet loss

sudo tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem loss 2%

# Remove latency settings after testing

sudo tc qdisc del dev eth0 root netem

Expected Outcome

✔ QoS 0 messages may drop.

✔ QoS 1 ensures at least one delivery.
✔ QoS 2 guarantees no message loss.
✅ Ensures MQTT works reliably in poor network conditions.
📌 3. Edge-to-Cloud MQTT Resilience Testing
📌 Why?
🚗 Vehicles may lose cloud connectivity during tunnels, remote areas, or weak signals.
We need to buffer messages at the edge and ensure they replay when connectivity is restored.

Test Steps

1. Disable internet access on the edge gateway (`iptables block` MQTT traffic).
2. Publish telemetry to the edge broker.
3. Restore cloud connectivity after 5 minutes.
4. Verify all stored messages are replayed to the cloud.

Python Test Code:

python

import time
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

BROKER_EDGE = "edge-broker.local"
BROKER_CLOUD = "cloud-broker.global"
TOPIC = "vehicle/123/telemetry"

def on_publish(client, userdata, mid):

print(f"Message {mid} stored on Edge MQTT Broker")

client = mqtt.Client()
client.connect(BROKER_EDGE, 1883)

Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 100/123
 client.on_publish = on_publish

for i in range(10): # Simulate network failure by buffering messages

payload = f"{{'speed': {60 + i}, 'battery': 85}}"
client.publish(TOPIC, payload, qos=1)
time.sleep(1)

print(" 🚗Network Restored! Forwarding messages to cloud...")

client.connect(BROKER_CLOUD, 1883)
client.reconnect()

Expected Outcome

✔ Messages stored on Edge MQTT Broker.

✔ After connectivity is restored, messages are forwarded to the cloud broker.
✅ Guarantees no telemetry loss during network failures.
📌 4. AI-Driven MQTT Anomaly Detection
📌 Why?
🚗 Abnormal MQTT traffic patterns (e.g., sudden spikes, frequent reconnections) may indicate
network failures, cyberattacks, or faulty sensors.
Using machine learning, we can automatically detect anomalies in MQTT telemetry.

Approach

Use an AI model (LSTM, Isolation Forest) to detect unexpected MQTT behaviors.

Monitor message frequency, payload patterns, and unusual latencies.
Trigger alerts when anomalies are detected.

Python Code: AI-Powered Anomaly Detection

python

import numpy as np
from sklearn.ensemble import IsolationForest

# Simulated MQTT telemetry dataset (speed, battery level, message rate)

data = np.array([
[50, 80, 5], [52, 78, 5], [90, 20, 100], # Anomalous spike
[51, 79, 5], [50, 80, 5]
])

# Train an Isolation Forest model

model = IsolationForest(contamination=0.1)
model.fit(data)

# Predict anomalies
predictions = model.predict(data)
for i, p in enumerate(predictions):
print(f"Message {i}: {'ANOMALY 🚨' if p == -1 else 'Normal ✅'}")
Expected Outcome

✔ Detects anomalies in MQTT traffic patterns.

✔ Prevents potential failures before they happen.
Printed using ChatGPT to PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 101/123
✅ Integrates AI with MQTT for predictive diagnostics.
📌 5. Security & Penetration Testing
📌 Why?
🚗 Unauthorized MQTT clients, brute-force attacks, and DoS threats can compromise vehicle
telemetry.
We need to test how well MQTT resists cyber threats.

Security Test Cases

Test Command/Script Expected Result

Brute-Force MQTT Unauthorized access
🚫
`hydra -L users.txt -P passwords.txt mqtt-
Login broker -V` blocked
Broker survives flood
attack 🛡
DoS Attack Simulation `hping3 -S -p 1883 --flood mqtt-broker`

Message rejected 🚫
Unauthorized Topic `mosquitto_pub -t "vehicle/999/gps" -m
Access "Hacked!"`

✅ Ensures the MQTT broker is protected against attacks.

📌 6. Real-Time Visualization & Monitoring
📌 Why?
🚗 Operators need a real-time dashboard to monitor vehicle MQTT traffic.
Using Grafana + Prometheus, we can visualize and alert on MQTT performance.

Grafana MQTT Monitoring Dashboard

Live telemetry graphs 📊 (speed, battery, location).

Latency monitoring ⏱(message delivery time).
Security alerts 🚨(unauthorized access attempts).

Prometheus Configuration

yaml

scrape_configs:
- job_name: 'mqtt-broker'
static_configs:
- targets: ['mqtt-broker:9001']

Expected Outcome

✔ Live dashboard of MQTT vehicle data.

✔ Real-time alerts for failures & security breaches.
✅ Ensures MQTT performance is continuously monitored.
