Re: [Stackevo-discuss] [gaia] 5G: It's the Network, Stupid

I strongly support the concept of network slicing for Applications or IoT networks. 
But it is not realistic to expect operators networks to take control requests from individual users/handsets. There has to be an authenticated application controller that makes requests/commands to the sliced network. 

My two cents.

E2E security in 5G can be addressed through network slicing, another concept which seems to be included in many 5G proposals. If each application has its own slice, it can screw up but wont be able to affect other applications. Within each slice, E2E security can be enforced in an application specific manner. Even better would be if we can make each flow be its own slice. This may seem to be overly heavyweight, but is along the lines of what Bromium  is trying to do for desktops, isolating processes and data from each other using
"microvisors": http://www.bromium.com/why-bromium/how-we-do-it.html We just need to do it for networks :)
