Hi Volga,

Yes, it is perfectly possible to rebuild the Identity header and 
re-attribute the
asserted source/destination to yourself.  In order to do this, you only 
need to own
an officially recognized STIR/SHAKEN X509 cert along with its private 
key, issued by
a STIR/SHAKEN certification authority.

So, while this is possible, I don't see why anyone in their right mind 
would do it.
Doing so would jeopardize the image of the carrier, putting their 
business at risk.
It's similar to how public IP routing in the internet works: any ISP 
could MITM any
piece of traffic, yet none do.  Or do they? :)

Best regards,
