When the Internet was started, the researchers had no concept of the Internet growing to become a world-wide phenomenon where bad actors wold also exist on the network. Everyone involved was basically from an academic/research background and the funding was coming from DARPA. Even now, could you imagine researchers at say Stanford and Berkeley devising research collaboration methods that assume that either organization's management/governance will interfere with or act maliciously against that collaboration effort?

Yes, I could. I'm not saying that a technological approach to this problem is best. (I prefer a political response.) But I believe that current knowledge of computer security is sufficiently advanced that a more secure internet could be invented.
