WCB Announces Effective Date for STIR/SHAKEN Rules
Summary: On November 21, 2024, the Commission adopted the Call Authentication Trust Anchor Eighth Report and Order (Eighth Caller ID Authentication Report and Order). In that Order, the Commission adopted rules that strengthen the Commission's caller ID authentication requirements by authorizing providers with a STIR/SHAKEN implementation obligation to work with third parties to perform the technological act of signing calls so long as the provider with the STIR/SHAKEN implementation obligation: (1) makes all attestation level decisions, consistent with the STIR/SHAKEN technical standards; and (2) ensures that all calls are signed using its own certificate obtained from a STIR/SHAKEN Certificate Authority-not the certificate of a third party. Effective September 18.
