User Authentication Method via Speaker Recognition and Speech Synthesis Detection

Abstract

As the Internet has been developed, various online services such as social media services are introduced and widely used by many people. Traditionally, many online services utilize self-certification methods that are made using public certificates or resident registration numbers, but it is found that the existing methods pose the risk of recent personal information leakage accidents. The most popular authentication method to compensate for these problems is biometric authentication technology. The biometric authentication techniques are considered relatively safe from risks like personal information theft, forgery, etc. Among many biometric-based methods, we studied the speaker recognition method, which is considered suitable to be used as a user authentication method of the social media service usually accessed in the smartphone environment. In this paper, we first propose a speaker recognition-based authentication method that identifies and authenticates individual voice patterns, and we also present a synthesis speech detection method that is used to prevent a masquerading attack using synthetic voices.
