Abstract
A communication system mitigating the risk of an incoming spoofed caller. The method involves issuing a token or a digital certificate to each network connection of a user, such as to each member of a social media platform to which the user is connected. The method includes determining a validity of the token or certificate of the network connection with a receiving party, which may be performed in response to searching and identifying the receiving party by a calling party. The method includes transmitting a message to the receiving party by the calling party in response to the validity confirmation of the token or the digital certificate. A message is transmitted that includes a calling identifier to be displayed to provide calling ID to the receiving party and a time of the intended call. The message may provide connection details, mutual connections, and historical events with the calling party.
