Protobuf allows you to build your conceptual protocol the way you want it. If you want security features on top of it, you can either add it to your messages, or you can use a secure network layer that does the work for you. Its your call. Personally, I'm against reinventing the wheel, so I use protobuf over TLSv1 with a good set of cipher suites configured :)
