The SIP Forum Announces SIPNOC 2022 Webinar Series Registrations Are Open

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass., March 4, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The SIP Forum is proud to announce that the official agenda and webinar registrations are now live for SIPNOC 2022, a special webinar series focusing on the challenges and opportunities related to the deployment and operations of the STIR/SHAKEN Call Authentication Framework.

The SIP Forum is also very proud to report that due to overwhelming sponsor support, SIPNOC 2022 will be free to attend! Current event sponsors include Diamond Sponsor Neustar; Platinum Sponsors iconectiv and Numeracle; Gold Sponsors Comcast, ECG, Hiya, Metaswitch, and YouMail; Silver Sponsors First Orion, Ribbon Communications and Telnyx; and Association Sponsors ATIS, Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA), CTIA, NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association, and USTelecom.

Like the SIP Forum's July 2021 STIR/SHAKEN VIRTUAL SUMMIT, SIPNOC 2022 will be a virtual event consisting of a special series of webinars presented by the experts leading the development of the STIR/SHAKEN Call Authentication Framework, leading companies providing STIR/SHAKEN solutions and deployment expertise, and key representatives from government regulatory and enforcement agencies.

Developed jointly by the SIP Forum and ATIS (the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions) to efficiently implement the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF) STIR (for Secure Telephony Identity Revisited) standard, SHAKEN (for Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs) defines a mechanism to verify the calling number and specifies how it will be transported across communications networks.

Together, STIR/SHAKEN offers a practical mechanism to provide verified information about the calling party as well as the origin of the call — what is known as "attestation" — for the first time in the network. Giving service providers the tools needed to sign and verify calling numbers makes it possible for businesses and consumers to know, before answering, that the calls they receive are from legitimate parties.

SIPNOC 2022 will feature a series of webinars that focus on issues critical to the reliable and successful International deployment and operation of STIR/SHAKEN, as well as associated topics including the ramifications of governmental regulatory, legislative and enforcement actions, and critical security issues.
