    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a toll-free telecommunications validation system determines a confidence value that an incoming phone call to an enterprises' toll-free number is originating from the station it purports to be, i.e., is not a spoofed call by incorporating one or more layers of signals and data in determining said confidence value, the data and signals including, but not limited to, toll-free call routing logs, service control point (SCP) signals and data, service data point (SDP) signals and data, dialed number information service (DNIS) signals and data, automatic number identification (ANI) signals and data, session initiation protocol (SIP) signals and data, carrier identification code (CIC) signals and data, location routing number (LRN) signals and data, jurisdiction information parameter (JIP) signals and data, charge number (CN) signals and data, billing number (BN) signals and data, and originating carrier information (such as information derived from the ANI, including, but not limited to, alternative service provider ID (ALTSPID), service provider ID (SPID), or operating company number (OCN)). In certain configurations said enterprise provides an ANI and DNIS associated with said incoming toll-free call, which is used to query a commercial toll-free telecommunications routing platform for any corresponding log entries. The existence of any such log entries, along with the originating carrier information in the event log entries do exist, is used to determine a confidence value that said incoming toll-free call is originating from the station it purports to be. As a result, said entities or enterprises operating a toll-free number may be provided a confidence value regarding an incoming telephone call, and using that confidence value, further determine whether or not to accept the authenticity of the incoming telephone call and/or based on said confidence value, service the incoming call differently.

    Abstract: One example involves a method for providing communications services to remotely-situated client entities, wherein each client entity is associated with users and each user is associated with a communication device. For providing the services verification may be realized by using a first authentication factor for a user among the users, and a communication request may be generated. The generated communication request may include a first portion specifying at least one target endpoint associated with the user and a second portion associated with or indicating the security code and that includes a set of instructions which: are specific to the user, which specify how to communicate the security code for the user, and which specify different security codes for different types of communications. The security code is sent to the user according to the set of instructions, and verified via a second authentication factor associated with or for the user by comparing input from the user to the security code.

    Abstract: A caller verification server receives a verification request message from a calling party via a data network. The verification request is associated with a communication from the calling party to a called device placed via a telephone network. The telephone network is logically separate from the data network. Thus, the verification request message travelling over the data network is said to be “out-of-band” relative to the telephone network. Responsive to receipt of the verification request message, the caller verification server generates a verification message indicating that the associated communication is verified as being from the calling party. The caller verification server sends the verification message to the called device via the data network.
