Popis: Voice-driven devices (VDDs) like Google Home and Amazon Alexa, which are well-known connected devices in consumer IoT, have applications in various domains i.e., home appliances automation, next-generation vehicles, voice banking, and so on. However, these VDDs that are based on automatic speaker verification systems (ASVs) are vulnerable to voice based logical access (LA) attacks like Text-to-Speech (TTS) synthesis and converted voice signals. Intruders can exploit these attacks to bypass the security of such systems and gain access of victim’s bank account or home control. Thus, there exists a need to develop an effective voice spoofing countermeasure that can reliably be used to protect these VDDs against such malicious attacks. This work presents a novel audio features descriptor named as extended local ternary pattern (ELTP) to capture the vocal tract dynamically induced attributes of bonafide speech and algorithmic artifacts in synthetic and converted speeches. We fused our novel ELTP features with the linear frequency cepstral coefficients (LFCC) to further strengthen the capability of our features for capturing the traits of bonafide and spoofed signals. We employ the proposed ELTP-LFCC features to train the deep bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (DBiLSTM) network for classification of the bonafide and spoof signal (i.e., TTS synthesis, converted speech). Performance of our spoofing countermeasure is measured on the large-scale and diverse ASVspoof 2019 logical access dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed audio spoofing countermeasure can reliably be used to detect the LA spoofing attacks.
