The Communications Risk Show - Episode 12: Robocalls and the Authentication of Callers

In this show we will discuss the issues surrounding automated nuisance calls and the methods that could be used to help phone users identify who is calling them before they accept the call. The guests will be: Professor Feng Hao of the University of Warwick, a recipient of a research grant into call authentication who has also given expert testimony to UK parliamentary committees; Pierce Gorman, whose 30 years of service in the network engineering teams of Sprint and T-Mobile US led to his playing a leading role in the implementation of STIR/SHAKEN; and Sathvik Prasad, Research Assistant at North Carolina State University, where he was a leading member of the team that conducted an award-winning study of robocalls. 

Topical news items will also be debated by the show's three regular presenters, industry analyst Ed Finegold, senior risk executive Lee Scargall, and the Editor of Commsrisk, Eric Priezkalns.
