If they could prevent/stop caller id spoofing, that would be a big help in at least the detection phase of phone system security. It's really hard to identify a threat if they can look like they're anybody.
- DrScump 11y agoThis is too easy with VoIP. It should be illegal for anybody to spoof Caller-ID for deception. The only acceptable caller-id transmitted should be one of: a) the actual origin number; b) the number for a company switchboard that accepts incoming calls to the originating group; or c) blocked number.
- ascagnel_ 11y agoThis would also prevent instances of SWATing (someone calls a hoax call into a local police department to force a deployment to a hostile situation where one does not exist).
- theandrewbailey 11y agoI wonder how much of a pain in the ass putting X509 (or something like it) into POTS/caller ID. It would stop spoofing dead in it's tracks.
