How secure automatic speaker verification (ASV) technology is? More concretely, given a specific target speaker, how likely is it to find another person who gets falsely accepted as that target? This question may be addressed empirically by…
Voice anonymization protects speaker privacy by concealing identity while preserving linguistic and paralinguistic content. Self-supervised learning (SSL) representations encode linguistic features but preserve speaker traits. We propose a…
This paper presents SpecWav-Attack, an adversarial model for detecting speakers in anonymized speech. It leverages Wav2Vec2 for feature extraction and incorporates spectrogram resizing and incremental training for improved performance.…
We propose DarkStream, a streaming speech synthesis model for real-time speaker anonymization. To improve content encoding under strict latency constraints, DarkStream combines a causal waveform encoder, a short lookahead buffer, and…
Protecting speaker identity is crucial for online voice applications, yet streaming speaker anonymization (SA) remains underexplored. Recent research has demonstrated that neural audio codec (NAC) provides superior speaker feature…
Voice anonymisation is used to conceal voice identity while preserving linguistic content. Even if anonymisation seems strong, non-timbral cues such as accent that remain post-anonymisation can help re-identification and reveal sensitive…
In this work, we propose a multi-target backdoor attack against speaker identification using position-independent clicking sounds as triggers. Unlike previous single-target approaches, our method targets up to 50 speakers simultaneously,…
Automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems utilize the biometric information in human speech to verify the speaker's identity. The techniques used for performing speaker verification are often vulnerable to malicious attacks that attempt…
Speaker verification is a task of confirming an individual's identity through the analysis of their voice. Whispered speech differs from phonated speech in acoustic characteristics, which degrades the performance of speaker verification…
Voice authentication has undergone significant changes from traditional systems that relied on handcrafted acoustic features to deep learning models that can extract robust speaker embeddings. This advancement has expanded its applications…
Faced with the threat of identity leakage during voice data publishing, users are engaged in a privacy-utility dilemma when enjoying convenient voice services. Existing studies employ direct modification or text-based re-synthesis to…
Recently, speech assistant and speech verification have been used in many fields, which brings much benefit and convenience for us. However, when we enjoy these speech applications, our speech may be collected by attackers for speech…
