Call spoofing has become one of the most pressing challenges in modern telecom. Fraudsters manipulate caller ID to impersonate trusted institutions, causing billions in financial loss and eroding consumer trust. But there’s hope on the horizon — and its name is STIR/SHAKEN.
In this blog, we’ll explore how the STIR/SHAKEN framework is transforming the telecom industry by restoring trust in voice communications. And how Peeringhub.io is helping carriers, CLECs, and VoIP providers adopt it at scale.
🛑 What is Call Spoofing?
Call spoofing occurs when fraudsters falsify the caller ID to appear as if the call is coming from a legitimate source — such as a bank, hospital, or government agency. The result?
Scammed individuals
Loss of trust in telecom networks
Increased regulatory pressure on carriers
✅ Enter STIR/SHAKEN: The Trusted Shield
STIR (Secure Telephone Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) is a framework that authenticates calls and verifies the legitimacy of caller IDs through digital certificates. It:
Authenticates caller identity at the network level
Applies digital signatures to verify origin
Flags suspicious or unauthenticated calls
Helps call recipients make informed decisions

Reputation damage and traffic loss are real consequences
