Open Verifiable Calling (OVC) is a GSMA Foundry project designed to demonstrate the key technologies needed to prove to the consumer who is calling them. It leverages established, open technologies to build verifiable trust back into voice calls.
Today, fraudulent calls are at the root of a flood of attacks focused on the consumer. The phone network has no tools allowing a valid caller to identify themselves to the person they are calling – or the person receiving the call to verify who is calling, so opening the door for fraudsters to impersonate who they like.
Open Verifiable Calling provides the three key elements required to rebuild phone calls on a basis of trust:
- A strong identity scheme allowing businesses to identify themselves, the phone numbers they are entitled to use, the name they trade under, and a logo the consumer will recognise
- A cryptographic proof system that prevents the possibility of this information being corrupted or hijacked, and
- Additional capabilities in phones to present the verified information to the consumer
OVC helps all of us in the phone network
- It allows our customers to trust our services again
- It provides the ability for us to filter out bad traffic and promote good traffic
- It allows us to meet our regulatory obligations with provable and not just ‘best-efforts’ services
Looking forward to see you!
