STI-GA Executes iconectiv Contract as Secure Telephone Identity Policy Administrator
WASHINGTON, DC — The Secure Telephone Identity Governance Authority (STI-GA) today announced the execution of the contract with iconectiv as the Secure Telephone Identity Policy Administrator (STI-PA), a critical role in industry efforts to mitigate illegal robocalling.
As the STI-PA, iconectiv enforces the rules defined by the STI-GA to operationalize the SHAKEN (Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) framework. SHAKEN provides a mechanism for service providers (SPs) to authenticate calls and let consumers know that the displayed Caller ID information is accurate.
