Spam Indication of Incoming Calls on the Phones
This release supports the new technology standard Secure Telephony Identity Revisited (STIR) and Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs (SHAKEN) for the Webex call logs, local call logs, and local call sessions when the phone is in Webex enviroment. STIR/SHAKEN has been mandated by Federal Communications Commission (FCC). These standards define procedures to authenticate and verify caller identification for calls carried over the IP network. The STIR-SHAKEN framework is developed to provide the end user with a great degree of identification and control over the type of calls they receive. These sets of standards are intended to provide a basis for verifying calls, classifying calls, and facilitating the ability to trust caller identity end to end. Illegitimate callers can easily be identified.
When STIR/SHAKEN support is implemented on the Webex server, the phone displays an extra icon next to the caller ID based on the caller's STIR/SHAKEN verification result.
Based on the verification result, the phone displays three types of icons.
