<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">8. The STIR/SHAKEN framework relies on the originating voice service provider attesting to the subscriber’s identity. The SHAKEN specification allows an originating voice service provider to provide different
“levels” of attestation. Specifically, the voice service provider can indicate that (i) it can confirm the identity of the subscriber making the call, and that the subscriber is using its associated telephone number (“full” or “A” attestation); (ii) it can
confirm the identity of the subscriber but not the telephone number (“partial” or “B” attestation); or merely that (iii) it is the point of entry to the IP network for a call that originated elsewhere, such as a call that originated abroad or on a domestic
network that is not STIR/SHAKEN-enabled (“gateway” or “C” attestation).</span><o:p></o:p></p>

As a side-note, I have observed that when calling Lumen/Level3 DIDs of ours from an AT&T mobile, those calls arrive to us with "C"-level attestation, signed with a CenturyLink/Lumen SHAKEN cert.<br>
