A caller identification system provides a caller identifier of an actual
user rather than the conventional telephone number dependent on a caller
terminal. Further, a caller base billing method and its system can bill
an actual user by carrying out user authentication through a
certification authority for a caller identifier that is independent of a
caller terminal. The method includes the steps of receiving
authentication information of the caller from a caller terminal;
verifying the authentication information; and carrying out call setup if
the authentication information and the certificate match, wherein the
authentication information is generated by using a caller identifier and
a private key that are applied by the caller, with no dependency on the
caller terminal, and caller information corresponding to the caller
identifier is transmitted to a callee terminal during call setup.
