Anti-spoofing Methods for Automatic SpeakerVerification System
Growing interest in automatic speaker verification (ASV)systems has lead to
significant quality improvement of spoofing attackson them. Many research works
confirm that despite the low equal er-ror rate (EER) ASV systems are still
vulnerable to spoofing attacks. Inthis work we overview different acoustic
feature spaces and classifiersto determine reliable and robust countermeasures
against spoofing at-tacks. We compared several spoofing detection systems,
presented so far,on the development and evaluation datasets of the Automatic
SpeakerVerification Spoofing and Countermeasures (ASVspoof) Challenge
2015.Experimental results presented in this paper demonstrate that the useof
magnitude and phase information combination provides a substantialinput into
the efficiency of the spoofing detection systems. Also wavelet-based features
show impressive results in terms of equal error rate. Inour overview we compare
spoofing performance for systems based on dif-ferent classifiers. Comparison
results demonstrate that the linear SVMclassifier outperforms the conventional
GMM approach. However, manyresearchers inspired by the great success of deep
neural networks (DNN)approaches in the automatic speech recognition, applied
DNN in thespoofing detection task and obtained quite low EER for known and
un-known type of spoofing attacks.Comment: 12 pages, 0 figures, published in Springer Communications in Computer

Voice Spoofing Countermeasures: Taxonomy, State-of-the-art, experimental analysis of generalizability, open challenges, and the way forward
Malicious actors may seek to use different voice-spoofing attacks to fool ASV
systems and even use them for spreading misinformation. Various countermeasures
have been proposed to detect these spoofing attacks. Due to the extensive work
done on spoofing detection in automated speaker verification (ASV) systems in
the last 6-7 years, there is a need to classify the research and perform
qualitative and quantitative comparisons on state-of-the-art countermeasures.
Additionally, no existing survey paper has reviewed integrated solutions to
voice spoofing evaluation and speaker verification, adversarial/antiforensics
attacks on spoofing countermeasures, and ASV itself, or unified solutions to
detect multiple attacks using a single model. Further, no work has been done to
provide an apples-to-apples comparison of published countermeasures in order to
assess their generalizability by evaluating them across corpora. In this work,
we conduct a review of the literature on spoofing detection using hand-crafted
features, deep learning, end-to-end, and universal spoofing countermeasure
solutions to detect speech synthesis (SS), voice conversion (VC), and replay
attacks. Additionally, we also review integrated solutions to voice spoofing
evaluation and speaker verification, adversarial and anti-forensics attacks on
voice countermeasures, and ASV. The limitations and challenges of the existing
spoofing countermeasures are also presented. We report the performance of these
countermeasures on several datasets and evaluate them across corpora. For the
experiments, we employ the ASVspoof2019 and VSDC datasets along with GMM, SVM,
CNN, and CNN-GRU classifiers. (For reproduceability of the results, the code of

A Study of Using Cepstrogram for Countermeasure Against Replay Attacks
In this paper, we investigate the properties of the cepstrogram and
demonstrate its effectiveness as a powerful feature for countermeasure against
replay attacks. Cepstrum analysis of replay attacks suggests that crucial
information for anti-spoofing against replay attacks may retain in the
cepstrogram. Experimental results on the ASVspoof 2019 physical access (PA)
database demonstrate that, compared with other features, the cepstrogram
dominates in both single and fusion systems when building countermeasures
against replay attacks. Our LCNN-based single and fusion systems with the
cepstrogram feature outperform the corresponding LCNN-based systems without
using the cepstrogram feature and several state-of-the-art (SOTA) single and
fusion systems in the literature.Comment: Submitted to INTERSPEECH 202
Subband modeling for spoofing detection in automatic speaker verification
Spectrograms - time-frequency representations of audio signals - have found widespread use in neural network-based spoofing detection. While deep models are trained on the fullband spectrum of the signal, we argue that not all frequency bands are useful for these tasks. In this paper, we systematically investigate the impact of different subbands and their importance on replay spoofing detection on two benchmark datasets: ASVspoof 2017 v2.0 and ASVspoof 2019 PA. We propose a joint subband modelling framework that employs n different sub-networks to learn subband specific features. These are later combined and passed to a classifier and the whole network weights are updated during training. Our findings on the ASVspoof 2017 dataset suggest that the most discriminative information appears to be in the first and the last 1 kHz frequency bands, and the joint model trained on these two subbands shows the best performance outperforming the baselines by a large margin. However, these findings do not generalise on the ASVspoof 2019 PA dataset. This suggests that the datasets available for training these models do not reflect real world replay conditions suggesting a need for careful design of datasets for training replay spoofing countermeasures
