There's a convenient toggle on my Moto G Stylus 5G 2023, if not a convenient name. In the carrier settings right next to allow 5G. Can't easily disable 3G or LTE though. IIRC, LTE is also mutually authenticates, but if we're talking about passive catching and the ismi is sent in the clear as the article says, then that doesn't eliminate passive catching. I'm not sure about 3G, I thought it wasn't mutual auth either.
- lxgr 2y agoDefinitely, mutual authentication and (not) using long-term identifiers in the initial attach request are largely orthogonal concerns. I believe even 3G supports mutual authentication (at least if the SIM supports it, i.e. it’s not a very old GSM only one), but anonymized identifiers only appeared with 5G.
