Does MQTT-SN provide any encryption like AES-128 etc.? As I know, it's using a simple binary encryption but in my opinion this cannot be seen as a security feature. Many thanks in advance :)

No, MQTT-SN doesn't supply any encryption at a protocol level, but you are free to encrypt the payload yourself how ever you want.
Also since MQTT-SN doesn't make any requirements on what transport is used to carry the packets, but you could build a system that uses DTLS (similar to how CoAPS works)

But with using DTLS the size of the header is increasing, that's why it is not really useful for big applications (50k+ sensors). That is the reason why I am searching for an alternative... Thanks anyway! – Pepe Bellin Jul 19 '19 at 08:50

with 50k+ sensors on the same LAN segment you are going to have way more other problems – hardillb Jul 19 '19 at 08:51

I'm talking about industrial IoT where the carrier provides the infrastructure and the sensors are connected via NarrowBand-IoT to the cell (from there on it is just a software issue). Many thanks for your help! – Pepe Bellin Jul 19 '19 at 08:55
