To implement STIR/SHAKEN, perform the following steps:
- Register with the Policy Administrator on the Service Provider page to receive a Service Provider Code Token.
- Set up an account with an approved certification authority, such as TransNexus, to obtain a digital certificate necessary to sign the calls with a digital signature.

- Configure/update the service policy that is assigned to vendor connections, including the internal vendor connection:
- Open the Service catalog > Service policy > Attributes > SIP headers tab.
- Select the checkbox for Stir signature required option and turn on the toggle.
- Configure the Override identity feature for outgoing calls:
- Open the Customer > Services > Voice calls > Outgoing calls tab.
- Turn on the Override identity toggle.
- Configure Identity and Display Number fields if needed.
- Set the Attestation level that specifies the level of your confidence in the customer and the phone numbers they use. Select one of the following options:
- Full attestation. The service provider authenticates the user making the call and confirms they are authorized to use the phone number. For example, the authenticated user makes a call using the phone number allocated by the service provider. Note that the verification sign [V] is only displayed for users if the caller has the full attestation level.
- Partial attestation. The service provider authenticates the customer making the call but cannot confirm that the calling party is authorized to use the phone number. For example, a call is initiated by your PBX customer from a non-authorized number.
- Gateway attestation. The service provider indicates that they let the call enter on their network, but they cannot verify the call originator. For example, a call is received from an international gateway or a wholesale partner.
You can override the outgoing call configuration, including the Attestation level, for a specific account.

How does it look like for the end user

If an incoming call passes the verification, the user sees the [V] sign before the phone number, meaning that they can trust the calling number they see on their phone.
