Recently, I wrote about the difference between long-term support and continuous delivery releases of IBM MQ. In that discussion I pointed out that based on their traditional cadence that a new MQ release was not far off.

When you hear people talking about messaging middleware (or messages in general), you frequently hear the term "payload" being used to describe the message content.
When developers create a middleware messaging connection between apps, they may choose to do so without encryption, to keep things fast and simple.
Often apps rely on middleware level encryption which secures data in transit between middleware hubs (brokers).
