I know that, does my grandmother? In the heat of the moment, will she remember that I told her 2 years ago when they call her?

We've desperately needed secure identity verification for business callers for years, so we can start the decades long process of changing people's instincts about it.

There's no good reason any business should be able to contact me without whoever is calling cryptographically proving they're that business and my phone showing the name and logo from a copy or mirror of an official database.

It should just be a standard part of business registration processes.
