Registration is now open for companies interested in becoming a Certification Authority for the nation’s Calling Number Verification Service, which is based on the SHAKEN framework to authenticate Caller ID and mitigate illegal robocalling.
As the Policy Administrator in the U.S., iconectiv is responsible for coordinating, registering and verifying Certification Authorities via a tightly controlled process as defined by the Secure Telephone Identity Governance Authority.
The Secure Telephone Identity Certification Authorities (STI-CA) are a critical component in the Calling Number Verification Service and Caller ID authentication. The STI-CAs will be responsible for assigning digital certificates to authorized service providers that will be used to ensure that calls receive the proper Caller ID.
Companies interested in becoming a STI-CA must submit an application and required documentation, as outlined in the STI-CA guidelines.
