In response to this growing issue, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has developed protocols to combat illegal robocalls. Consequently, mobile carriers are now required to implement authentication protocols.
Enter SHAKEN/STIR: a comprehensive set of protocols designed to authenticate caller ID information and ensure its legitimacy. This protocol employs digital certificates to validate the identity of the caller. Every call made is verified using these certificates, and the validated information is stored in an online database.
