Attestation is a crucial part of the STIR/SHAKEN process and includes three categories to determine essential information about the caller by evaluating the attestation level of each call. These attestation levels distinguish a caller's validity to use a specific number.

It does this by digitally assigning an attestation rating to a call, indicating whether the originating carrier has authenticated the right of the caller to use the phone number. The receiving carrier uses a decryption key and the attestation rating to validate the caller's number and help identify spoofed calls.

The origid , standardized as part of STIR / SHAKEN, represents the originating point of a call in each network and opens up the possibility of streamlining the traceback process. The third is potentially to provide some form of display to the end user that the caller ID has been verified.

Attestation. In a STIR/SHAKEN call, the originating service provider signs (or attests) to their relationship with the caller and their right to use the calling number.

If a call is assigned full attestation, it means: The carrier is responsible for originating the call. The carrier has a pre-existing direct relationship with the customer who is making the call and can authenticate and identify this caller. The carrier can verify an association with the number used to make the call.

STIR/SHAKEN digitally validates the handoff of phone calls passing through the complex web of networks, allowing the phone company of the consumer receiving the call to verify that a call is in fact from the number displayed on Caller ID.
