It is unfortunately that zmq doesn't offer better crypto support.  The
ideal solution so far seems to be encrypting each message with a pre-shared
key.

I usually send heartbeats out of band from other message flows on a
dedicated set of sockets.

In this case, it sounds like AMQP is a better solution for your needs (what
we know of them) and you should use it.  AMQP can provide some of these
features based on configuration only because broker based systems use star
topologies where every message, regardless of its origin or endpoint,
traverses a central broker.  zmq is inherently decentralized, you can
connect any number of nodes with any topology, including star.  This
introduced different problems that need to be solved.  For many topologies
a broker becomes a bottleneck.

For your data flow and requirements, it sounds like a broker based solution
works great for you, assuming your problem doesn't run into the broker
bottleneck.
