In addition to security concerns - Rather than a raw socket server with a
custom protocol, etc, it would be far easier and less time consuming to
create web services for authentication, execution of specific functions,
etc..  (Encryption would probably be the same regardless of transport
mechanisms)

Do you have control over client and server?  Will you be writing the client
code too?

Writing socket servers is fun and rewarding but only when someone isn't
expecting you to do it with time constraints for a mission-critical app.
