Implementing and Testing Integrated STIR/SHAKEN and Rich Call Data Security in a Mobile Network Testbed

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR), Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs (SHAKEN), and Rich Call Data (RCD) technologies to improve security in next-generation IP networks. Given the increasing limitations of traditional security measures in contemporary network environments, this study demonstrates a practical deployment of STIR/SHAKEN and RCD within a mobile network testbed utilizing Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. The system architecture and testbed methodology are described, with validation conducted through a business-to-consumer (B2C) use case. A key contribution of this work is the comprehensive consolidation of standards and references governing STIR/SHAKEN and RCD call flows. This unified approach enhances transparency and accessibility for engineers and researchers seeking to understand these technologies. Additionally, the primary outcome is a robust test framework and detailed test scripts developed to evaluate the performance and security of integrated STIR/SHAKEN and RCD within a realistic mobile network environment.
