STIR/SHAKEN

STIR/SHAKEN is a framework designed to combat caller ID spoofing and enhance the trustworthiness of caller identification in telephone networks. The initiative is particularly relevant in the context of the increasing prevalence of robocalls and fraudulent calls that misrepresent the caller's identity. **STIR** stands for "Secure Telephone Identity Revisited," and it involves a technical specification that allows for secure signaling of caller ID information, enabling the legitimate verification of the caller's identity.
