I’m doing FIX in my everyday work. What parts of FIX are unclear for you?
I can’t write your thesis, but can explain how things are working.

The best place to start is this document:

http://fixprotocol.org/documents/581/security.doc

Despite being over 10 years old it is still very close to what is done today. However, most integrations I have worked on have used SSL/TLS or a private line for privacy, authentication, and integrity. SSL/TLS can be used with server & client authentication required for the best level of security. This really means that your thesis would be mostly about SSL/TLS unfortunately!

Hello James,
I’ve already read the document, also I have given thougt to the things that you mentioned. Since my title is not yet decided I still have a little time to modify what my thesis is going to be about, my supervisor gave me similar feedback. So maybe I’ll look at the protocol and how systems can be constructed to achieve c.i.a, and hopefully the world will be able to benefit just a little more from it.

Cheers
