What Is STIR/SHAKEN?
STIR (Secure Telephony Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information using toKENs) are FCC-mandated standards designed to stop caller ID spoofing and restore trust in telecom communications.
Together, they create a cryptographic system to verify the caller’s identity on VoIP calls—ensuring that what you see on the screen is really who’s calling. Every call gets a digital signature, and recipients can validate the origin before answering.
📉 The Risks of Ignoring STIR/SHAKEN
Caller ID spoofing, robocalls, and impersonation scams have cost individuals and businesses millions in fraud losses. Without STIR/SHAKEN, your network may:
Be flagged as untrusted or spam
Fail to meet FCC regulatory standards
Face penalties and traffic blocks
Lose user and partner trust
🏛️ The FCC Mandate: What You Need to Know
Since June 2021, STIR/SHAKEN compliance has been a requirement for all voice service providers handling IP-based calls. And the rules are tightening in 2025:
Intermediate and gateway providers are now under greater scrutiny
Certification is required in the Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD)
Providers without valid certificates may be blocked by upstream carriers
