Caller ID Authentication

Caller ID Authentication is a process that helps verify whether a phone call is genuinely from the number it claims to be. It works by checking the caller's information against a trusted database to prevent fraudulent calls, such as spoofing, where scammers disguise their real numbers. This technology enhances security and trust in phone communication, ensuring that businesses and individuals can better identify who is calling them. By using protocols like STIR/SHAKEN, telephone service providers can authenticate calls, making it harder for unwanted or malicious calls to reach consumers.
