STIR/SHAKEN requires originating carriers (the outbound caller's provider) to sign calls with an Identity, attesting their relationship to the calling party and legitimacy of the calling number.
Here are 7 important items you should know about STIR/SHAKEN: CNAM could be altered to include “” or “Verified” or some other indictor that would appear to the subscriber. Out-of-band solutions allow the VoIP-PSTN gateway providers to log call signatures to an external database, which terminating service providers can check later. CNAM could be altered to include “” or “Verified” or some other indictor that would appear to the subscriber.Īge for the SIP Forum and the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) to collaborate and produce the Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs (SHAKEN) standards.Īlthough specific to VoIP, STIR/SHAKEN can also be applied to traditional PSTN using out-of-band solutions or by manipulating the Caller Name (CNAM). Per their charter, “the STIR working group will specify Internet-based mechanisms that allow verification of the calling party's authorization to use a particular telephone number for an incoming call.” The STIR working group set the stage for the SIP Forum and the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) to collaborate and produce the Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs (SHAKEN) standards.Ĭombined, STIR/SHAKEN enables origination service providers to cryptographically sign their Voice Over IP (VoIP) calls so that terminating service providers can use these signatures in their Call Validation Treatment (CVT) to decide how a call should be delivered to the subscriber.Īlthough specific to VoIP, STIR/SHAKEN can also be applied to traditional PSTN using out-of-band solutions or by manipulating the Caller Name (CNAM). Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) started as a Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force. What is the difference between STIR and SHAKEN? The concept, first introduced in the 1970s, has evolved into an extensive suite of protocols and procedures that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) now requires companies to adopt as of June 30, 2021. STIR/SHAKEN is a technology framework put in place to decrease the number of fraudulent robocalls and caller ID spoofing on public communication networks.
In the following guide, we highlight 7 of the key items about STIR/SHAKEN that businesses should know. He breaks down everything businesses need to know about STIR/SHAKEN. Our conversation is focused on the STIR/SHAKEN framework and his participation in the 2021 STIR/SHAKEN Virtual Summit. In our most recent podcast, we sit down with our very own Calvin Ellison, Systems Architect of VOXOX to talk about the ongoing implementation of solutions to combat fraud. And lucky for us, we have a few of those geniuses working here at VOXOX. Luckily, the world is full of geniuses ready and able to develop solutions for challenges like these. Activity like this has led to malicious identity theft, cyber crimes, and financial loss. Illegitimate callers might impersonate the IRS to steal a tax refund or pose as the local power company to trick someone into paying a pretend overdue bill. They’ll often change the area code to match that of the person they’re calling in an attempt to increase the likeliness of them answering. Simply put, criminals and corrupt fraudsters will falsify or “spoof” the caller ID number of their outbound phone call to deceive the party on the receiving end. Robocalling and phone number spoofing are some of the many ways fraudulent activity rears its ugly head these days – especially for VoIP systems. As we all know, it requires continuous effort to stay “in the know” about all of the new ways we must work to protect consumers and our businesses. In this guide, we bring together the key highlights about STIR/SHAKEN protocols and why it is so important today.įraudulent activity is a harsh reality of our rapidly advancing telecom industry.
