The Role of STIR/SHAKEN in Combating Call Spoofing: Why It Matters More Than Ever in 2025


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

🧠 Why It Matters in 2025

With robocall fines and regulatory scrutiny on the rise, compliance is no longer optional. In 2025:

  • The FCC mandates STIR/SHAKEN compliance for all IP-based voice traffic

  • Non-compliant calls may be blocked by upstream providers

  • Reputation damage and traffic loss are real consequences

💡 Real Impact: Beyond Compliance

STIR/SHAKEN is not just about avoiding penalties — it’s about:

  • Restoring trust in your brand’s calls

  • Boosting answer rates and customer experience

  • Contributing to a safer telecom ecosystem
