Technical Summary

  The Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (STIR) certificate profile,
  which is specified in RFC 8226, provides a way to attest authority
  over telephone numbers and related identifiers for the purpose of
  preventing telephone number spoofing.  This specification details
  how that authority can be delegated from a parent certificate to a
  subordinate certificate.  This delegation supports a number of use
  cases, including those where service providers grant credentials to
  enterprises or others capable of signing a PASSporT object for a
  call as specified in RFC 8225.
