AbstractCellular networks are the backbone of today's connected world, supporting real-time communication, commerce, transportation, emergency response, and daily life. As fifth-generation (5G) and future wireless systems become more advanced and programmable, they also introduce greater complexity and new attack surfaces. Control-plane signaling systems, responsible for connection setup, identity verification, authentication, key exchange, and mobility, are especially critical, as attacks on them can d
