When large fractions of all the "secure" and other protocols
the world uses in history... telephony, internet, email, CPU's wifi,
overlay networks, not so strong crypto applications after all, etc...
have been publicly shamed time and time again, fix after fix,
after mitm, after "we are doing security right / won't happen again"...
Yes, that's pathetic, downright suspect, and even proven in some cases.
Secure tech seems to have historically slow learning curve, coupled
with anything
learned being sidelined in, and out of, the market for whatever is new and hot.
As such, "secure" implementations of 5G, if not 5G itself, will suffer
just as many fun exploit advisories, CALEA, mea culpa, whitewashed
corporate secret lies, spying, as AMPS, CDMA, 2G, 3G, 4G have and do.
