do you think that an Internet deployment using a closed protocol is more secure than using an open protocol ?
No. In fact, in a truly decentralized system, you can't really have a 'closed' protocol; there is no way to keep it a secret. You'd do much better to focus on making sure your protocol has mechanisms to protect peers from malicious behavior, and document the protocol openly. In many ways, the main product of a p2p system is the protocol. Everything else is just supports.
