   How Will Caller ID Authentication Help Consumers?   
      
   Caller ID authentication technology enables subscribers to trust that   
   callers are who they say they are, reducing the effectiveness of   
   fraudulently spoofed calls. This technology is critical to protecting   
   Americans from scams using spoofed robocalls because it erodes the   
   ability of callers to illegally spoof a caller ID, which scammers use   
   to trick Americans into answering their phones when they   
   shouldn't. Caller ID authentication technology also allows consumers   
   and law enforcement alike to more readily identify the source of   
   illegal robocalls and reduce their frequency and impact. The   
   STIR/SHAKEN framework, an industry-standard caller ID authentication   
   technology, is a set of technical standards and protocols that allow   
   for the authentication and verification of caller ID information for   
   calls carried over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. As implementation   
   continues to progress, it will give Americans more confidence that the   
   caller ID information they receive is accurate and will allow voice   
   service providers to provide helpful information to their consumers   
   about which calls to answer.
