STIR/SHAKEN

What Does STIR/SHAKEN Mean?

STIR/SHAKEN is a framework of interconnected standards.  STIR/SHAKEN are acronyms for the Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) and Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs (SHAKEN) standards.  This means that calls traveling through interconnected phone networks can have their caller ID “signed” as legitimate by originating carriers and validated by other carriers before reaching consumers.  STIR/SHAKEN digitally validates the handoff of phone calls passing through the complex web of networks, allowing the phone company of the consumer receiving the call to verify that a call is in fact from the number displayed on Caller ID.

Revolt Voice is proud to be STIR/SHAKEN certified by the FCC, which means that its calls are verified and authenticated using a secure digital signature hosted by ClearlyIP.   Click here to read how ClearlyIP handles certificate management.
