Voice Morphing: Two Identities in One Voice
share
In a biometric system, each biometric sample or template is typically associated with a single identity. However, recent research has demonstrated the possibility of generating "morph" biometric samples that can successfully match more than a single identity. Morph attacks are now recognized as a potential security threat to biometric systems. However, most morph attacks have been studied on biometric modalities operating in the image domain, such as face, fingerprint, and iris. In this preliminary work, we introduce Voice Identity Morphing (VIM) - a voice-based morph attack that can synthesize speech samples that impersonate the voice characteristics of a pair of individuals. Our experiments evaluate the vulnerabilities of two popular speaker recognition systems, ECAPA-TDNN and x-vector, to VIM, with a success rate (MMPMR) of over 80
