July 2021

  • Deciphering STIR/SHAKEN Tokens: Added new columns to the CDR to assist with deciphering identity tokens. The new columns will provide information about the calling party, called party, attestation level, signing endpoint, etc. by simply parsing tokens.

    • Note #1: This is NOT the same as the Verification process, only additional information that is now stored on the CDR.

    • Note #2: The above CDR columns are only available for our HCv Environment at the moment, all customers can expect to be migrated to HCv soon automatically which has optimized networking/switch handling for large packets. We will notify customers prior to migration of the date on which CDRs will be changing.

  • STIR/SHAKEN Signing Endpoint: As of July 1st, 2021 all US Termination calls domestic or international must be signed by a STIR/SHAKEN token. The 46 Labs platform will not be signing attempts directly, instead it will permit the configuration of signing endpoints that use a 302 redirect interface.

    • Termination/Customer and Origination/Vendor trunk groups can select which signing endpoint it uses out of the globally configured Call Signing Endpoints.

    • Endpoints will be configured as a list wherein users can create an unlimited number of endpoints, each with its own IP or DNS value under Settings > STIR/SHAKEN Endpoints.

    • Note: 46 Labs has Tested/Certified following call signing vendors for now at scale using industry standard 302 redirect method.

    • Note: This feature is only available on our HCv environment and should only be enabled on a Test Trunk Group for verification.

    • Note: Please reach out to support for additional information or in case you have your own endpoint integration.

  • MCL Increments: Added a new feature to setup increments at the MCL level. These increments will be added against any MCL template for each country separately. These increments can also be used for Rate Deck Generators by selecting specific MCL templates. As templates are now also required on INTL deck uploads the default template will be pre-selected and users can change it to another template if required. The updated MCL that now contains the missing codes will now work with the selected template from a rate deck upload.

    • NOTE: This is a new column added to the deck upload API called “mcl_template_id”. Customers using APIs must update the API call to send that id as well. In order to not break the upload process for now, if the column is not found in API params, a default id of “1” will be used.
