STIR/SHAKEN is an industry-wide initiative to restore trust in our voice communications. Its goal is to prevent fraudsters from scamming consumers and businesses through robocalls and illegal phone number spoofing, while making sure that legitimate calls reach the recipient.

SHAKEN stands for Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs. It is a specification designed to mitigate unwanted robocalls by reducing the impact of caller ID spoofing. Unwanted calls are the number one source of recent complaints to the FCC.

Does STIR/SHAKEN apply to SMS/text messaging? Currently STIR/ SHAKEN applies to phone calls only. However, work is on-going in the communications industry to evaluate the best authentication method for SMS / text messaging.

If you get calls from people saying your number is showing up on their caller ID, it's likely that your number has been spoofed. We suggest first that you do not answer any calls from unknown numbers, but if you do, explain that your telephone number is being spoofed and that you did not actually make any calls.

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.

STIR/SHAKEN is a framework that assigns a certificate of authenticity to each phone call for use across the telecom network, acting as a digital signature of trust passed from carrier to carrier to improve traceable call delivery. STIR. 200dSecure Telephone Identity Revisited.

This module lets you authenticate using a token in your Node. js applications. It is based on passport-local module by Jared Hanson. By plugging into Passport, token authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.

The first bracketed set of information is the header, which is used to understand the PASSporT information, including the type, the algorithm used for cryptography, and x5u, which gives the URI for the certificated needed to validate the signature.

With standard In-Band STIR/SHAKEN call authentication, the signed PASSporT token is placed into the Identity header, and the Identity header is returned to the originating service provider.
