Trust & Transparency: The Pillars of a Secure Telecommunications Future

Feb 12, 2025

For years, the telecommunications industry has been working toward a future where trust and security are the expected norm and the telecom industry is free from the challenges of fraud and uncertainty. With the launch of the Somos Trust Framework, that vision is becoming a reality.

The Trust Framework is built on two fundamental principles: trust and transparency. Trust ensures that every call is authenticated through credentials like keys, tokens and certificates, linking telephone numbers to verified calling parties. Transparency further strengthens this system by ensuring numbers are tied to their rightful owners, preventing spoofing and impersonation. This is supported by notarized verifiable declarations, providing an added layer of security.

Together, these principles deliver three transformative benefits: 

• Privacy: to protect personal data

• Consent: giving individuals control over their communications

• Presentation: ensuring that caller information is verified and reliable.

By adopting the Trust Framework, Somos is helping create a secure and reliable telecommunications ecosystem for everyone.
