Seems to target spoofing. If they can eliminate spoofing it should make tracking down bad actors easier which should ultimately put many of them out of business.
- mehrdadn 7y agoI don't think actually tracking down the bad actors is the motivation for this is it? You're still going to be blind to the call behind the originating network; you just won't get attestation as to its identity.
