Call authentication technologies

Call authentication technologies are methods used to verify the identity of callers to prevent scams and fraud. They include systems like Caller ID, which shows the number of the incoming call, and STIR/SHAKEN, which adds a digital signature to verify the call's origin. These technologies help distinguish legitimate calls from potential spoofed or fraudulent ones, providing users with more confidence when receiving calls. By ensuring that the caller is who they claim to be, call authentication enhances security for both individuals and businesses.
