With technology, we are constantly looking to improve security. We moved from HTTP to HTTPS to help secure online transactions and mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks. With DNS, we have started to implement DNSSEC. Why are we not looking backward at the cornerstone of modern communication, the device that still ties everyone together? The telephone.
There have been minor updates to user experience but there are definitely security enhancements that need to be made. Today, we have auto-dialers claiming to be companies we know and trust, like a Canadian airline WestJet. These scammers mask their true number with spoofed caller ID, which makes them impossible to block. We can improve the end user telephone experience by looking at the basics of computer security and implementing a Triple-A approach to telephone security: authentication, authorization, and accounting.
