- BobaFloutist 2y ago>The STIR system aims to add information to the SIP headers that allow the endpoints along the system to positively identify the origin of the data. This does not directly prevent the ability for a robocaller to spoof a caller ID, but it does allow upstream points to decide whether or not to trust that ID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN#STIR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN#STIR It's not all the way there, I guess.
