• Abstract: Generated speech achieves human-level naturalness but escalates security risks of misuse. However, existing watermarking methods fail to reconcile fidelity with robustness, as they rely either on simple superposition in the noise space or on intrusive alterations to model weights. To bridge this gap, we propose VocBulwark, an additional-parameter injection framework that freezes generative model parameters to preserve perceptual quality. Specifically, we design a Temporal Adapter to deeply entangle watermarks with acoustic attributes, synergizing with a Coarse-to-Fine Gated Extractor to resist advanced attacks. Furthermore, we develop an Accuracy-Guided Optimization Curriculum that dynamically orchestrates gradient flow to resolve the optimization conflict between fidelity and robustness. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that VocBulwark achieves high-capacity and high-fidelity watermarking, offering robust defense against complex practical scenarios, with resilience to Codec regenerations and variable-length manipulations.

  This paper introduces a novel adversarial algorithm for attacking the state-of-the-art speech-to-text systems, namely DeepSpeech, Kaldi, and Lingvo. Our approach is based on developing an extension for the conventional distortion condition of the adversarial optimization formulation. Minimizing over this metric, which measures the discrepancies between original and adversarial samples' distributions, contributes to crafting signals very close to the subspace of legitimate speech recordings.
