This deployment of protocols in Titan.ium are used to authenticate calls and align with the MAN (Mécanisme d'Authentification des Numéros) program as mandated by ARCEP, the French telecommunications regulator. Over the course of the past year, SFR and Titan.ium have worked together and proven end-to-end interoperability with other French operators – signing and validating call signatures to secure inter-operator voice traffic and combat phone number spoofing.
"The implementation of the Titan.ium STIR/SHAKEN technology is a key milestone in our commitment to ensuring the security and integrity of voice communications for our customers,” said Olivier Tailfer, chief technology officer, SFR. “This collaboration exemplifies our dedication to combating phone number spoofing by leveraging the latest technology."
“This deployment marks a significant advancement in the fight against fraudulent phone number usage and reinforces the commitment of both SFR and Titan.ium to deliver innovative, secure, and reliable telecommunications solutions,” said Kurt Daniel, CEO, Titan.ium Platform. “Through verification of the caller number, we are able to help deliver a better customer experience by reducing phone number spoofing.”
SFR chose Titan.ium based on its deployments of signature-based security in the U.S. and Canada, along with Titan.ium's flexibility in adapting to SFR's specific requirements and integration with the APNF (Association de Portabilité des Numéros Fixes) for the French operators' certificate lifecycle management.
Titan.ium’s STIR/SHAKEN technology authenticates and secures communications, helping businesses to safeguard their reputation by ensuring trust in every call by reducing phone number spoofing. The STIR/SHAKEN capability was added to the Titan platform that efficiently manages routing data over any industry protocol and across the largest fixed, mobile, and interconnect networks to provide an effective shield against fraudulent calls.
