STIR, or Secure Telephony Identity Revisited, is a Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (www.ietf.org). The IETF’s stated mission is to make the Internet work better by producing high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet. The charter for the STIR Working Group (WG) is to define mechanisms that allow verification of the calling party's authorization to use a particular telephone number. The IETF standards developed by the STIR WG are:
RFC 8224. Defines how SIP Identity tokens are used to authenticate and verify the calling number in SIP signaling.
RFC 8225. Defines a method for creating and validating a token that cryptographically verifies a calling number.
RFC 8226. Describes the use of certificates in establishing authority over telephone numbers.
SHAKEN provides telephone services providers with a framework and guidance on how to use techniques defined by the STIR WG for validation of legitimate calls and the mitigation of illegitimate spoofing of telephone identities on the VoIP Telephone Network. SHAKEN is formally known as the ATIS Standard on Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using Tokens. ATIS (www.atis.org), or the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).STIR, or Secure Telephony Identity Revisited, is a Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (www.ietf.org).
