Packet header support using hybrid security approach for securing trivial file transfer protocol in machine to machine applications / Nur Nabila Mohamed

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is noted as one of the well-known protocols for managing data transfer in Machine to Machine (M2M) constrained embedded system due to its lightweight features and compatibility. However, the protocol provides zero support for data authentication or encryption me...
