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!
