STIR/SHAKEN Robocaller Protection

Greensboro, NC — Carolina Digital Phone, a leader in cloud-based communications, is excited to announce the implementation of STIR/SHAKEN technology.  This cutting-edge solution combats the growing issue of robocalls. This initiative is part of a broader industry effort to enhance the integrity of the public telephone system across the United States.

What is STIR/SHAKEN?

STIR (Secure Telephone Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Secure Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) are industry standards designed to help service providers verify the authenticity of calls using digital certificates. By ensuring that the number displayed on Caller ID matches the originating call, STIR/SHAKEN effectively mitigates the threat of caller ID spoofing.

Why is STIR/SHAKEN Important?

According to a recent report from Truecaller, phone scams cost Americans over $25 billion annually. While STIR/SHAKEN does not eliminate robocalls entirely, it significantly reduces the likelihood of receiving spoofed calls. Doing so empowers consumers to make informed decisions about which calls to answer.
