• Abstract summary: ASV is under the radar of adversarial attacks, which are similar to their original counterparts from human's perception. We propose the idea of "voting for the right answer" to prevent risky decisions of ASV in blind spot areas. Experimental results show that our proposed method improves the robustness against both the limited-knowledge attackers.

• Abstract: Automatic speaker verification (ASV) is a well developed technology for biometric identification, and has been ubiquitous implemented in security-critic applications, such as banking and access control. However, previous works have shown that ASV is under the radar of adversarial attacks, which are very similar to their original counterparts from human's perception, yet will manipulate the ASV render wrong prediction. Due to the very late emergence of adversarial attacks for ASV, effective countermeasures against them are limited. Given that the security of ASV is of high priority, in this work, we propose the idea of "voting for the right answer" to prevent risky decisions of ASV in blind spot areas, by employing random sampling and voting. Experimental results show that our proposed method improves the robustness against both the limited-knowledge attackers by pulling the adversarial samples out of the blind spots, and the perfect-knowledge attackers by introducing randomness and increasing the attackers' budgets. The code for reproducing main results is available at https://github.com/thuhcsi/adsv_voting.

  We adopt neural vocoders to spot adversarial samples for automatic speaker verification (ASV) We find that the difference between the ASV scores for the original and re-synthesize audio is a good indicator for discrimination between genuine and adversarial samples. Our codes will be made open-source for future works to do comparison.

  This work is among the first to perform adversarial defense for ASV without knowing the specific attack algorithms. We propose to perform adversarial defense from two perspectives: 1) adversarial perturbation purification and 2) adversarial perturbation detection. Experimental results show that our detection module effectively shields the ASV by detecting adversarial samples with an accuracy of around 80%.

  More and more malicious attackers attempt to launch adversarial attacks at automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems.
