Anti-spoofing for automatic speaker verification is now a well established area of research, with three competitive challenges having been held in the last 6 years. A great deal of research effort over this time has been invested into the development of front-end representations tailored to the spoofing detection task. One such approach known as constant Q cepstral coefficients (CQCCs) have been shown to be especially effective in detecting attacks implemented with a unit selection based speech synthesis algorithm. Despite their success, they largely fail in detecting other forms of spoofing attack where more traditional front-end representations give substantially better results. Similar differences were also observed in the most recent, 2019 edition of the ASVspoof challenge series. This paper reports our attempts to help explain these observations. The explanation is shown to lie in the level of attention paid by each front-end to different sub-band components of the spectrum. Thus far, surprisingly little has been learned about what artefacts are being detected by spoofing countermeasures. Our work hence aims to shed light upon signal or spectrum level artefacts that serve to distinguish different forms of spoofing attack from genuine, bone fide speech. With a better understanding of these artefacts we will be better positioned to design more reliable countermeasures.

High-performance spoofing countermeasure systems for automatic speaker verification (ASV) have been proposed in the ASVspoof 2019 challenge. However, the robustness of such systems under adversarial attacks has not been studied yet. In this paper, we
investigate the vulnerability of spoofing countermeasures for ASV under both white-box and black-box adversarial attacks with the fast gradient sign method (FGSM) and the projected gradient descent (PGD) method. We implement high-performing countermeasure models in the ASVspoof 2019 challenge and conduct adversarial attacks on them. We compare performance of black-box attacks across spoofing countermeasure models with different network architectures and different amount of model parameters. The experimental results show that all implemented countermeasure models are vulnerable to FGSM and PGD attacks under the scenario of white-box attack. The more dangerous black-box attacks also prove to be effective by the experimental results.
Recent years have seen growing efforts to develop spoofing countermeasures (CMs) to protect automatic speaker verification (ASV) systems from being deceived by manipulated or artificial inputs. The reliability of spoofing CMs is typically gauged usin
g the equal error rate (EER) metric. The primitive EER fails to reflect application requirements and the impact of spoofing and CMs upon ASV and its use as a primary metric in traditional ASV research has long been abandoned in favour of risk-based approaches to assessment. This paper presents several new extensions to the tandem detection cost function (t-DCF), a recent risk-based approach to assess the reliability of spoofing CMs deployed in tandem with an ASV system. Extensions include a simplified version of the t-DCF with fewer parameters, an analysis of a special case for a fixed ASV system, simulations which give original insights into its interpretation and new analyses using the ASVspoof 2019 database. It is hoped that adoption of the t-DCF for the CM assessment will help to foster closer collaboration between the anti-spoofing and ASV research communities.
The automatic speaker verification spoofing and countermeasures (ASVspoof) challenge series is a community-led initiative which aims to promote the consideration of spoofing and the development of countermeasures. ASVspoof 2021 is the 4th in a series
of bi-annual, competitive challenges where the goal is to develop countermeasures capable of discriminating between bona fide and spoofed or deepfake speech. This document provides a technical description of the ASVspoof 2021 challenge, including details of training, development and evaluation data, metrics, baselines, evaluation rules, submission procedures and the schedule.
Artefacts that serve to distinguish bona fide speech from spoofed or deepfake speech are known to reside in specific subbands and temporal segments. Various approaches can be used to capture and model such artefacts, however, none works well across a
spectrum of diverse spoofing attacks. Reliable detection then often depends upon the fusion of multiple detection systems, each tuned to detect different forms of attack. In this paper we show that better performance can be achieved when the fusion is performed within the model itself and when the representation is learned automatically from raw waveform inputs. The principal contribution is a spectro-temporal graph attention network (GAT) which learns the relationship between cues spanning different sub-bands and temporal intervals. Using a model-level graph fusion of spectral (S) and temporal (T) sub-graphs and a graph pooling strategy to improve discrimination, the proposed RawGAT-ST model achieves an equal error rate of 1.06 % for the ASVspoof 2019 logical access database. This is one of the best results reported to date and is reproducible using an open source implementation.
The ASVspoof challenge series was born to spearhead research in anti-spoofing for automatic speaker verification (ASV). The two challenge editions in 2015 and 2017 involved the assessment of spoofing countermeasures (CMs) in isolation from ASV using
an equal error rate (EER) metric. While a strategic approach to assessment at the time, it has certain shortcomings. First, the CM EER is not necessarily a reliable predictor of performance when ASV and CMs are combined. Second, the EER operating point is ill-suited to user authentication applications, e.g. telephone banking, characterised by a high target user prior but a low spoofing attack prior. We aim to migrate from CM- to ASV-centric assessment with the aid of a new tandem detection cost function (t-DCF) metric. It extends the conventional DCF used in ASV research to scenarios involving spoofing attacks. The t-DCF metric has 6 parameters: (i) false alarm and miss costs for both systems, and (ii) prior probabilities of target and spoof trials (with an implied third, nontarget prior). The study is intended to serve as a self-contained, tutorial-like presentation. We analyse with the t-DCF a selection of top-performing CM submissions to the 2015 and 2017 editions of ASVspoof, with a focus on the spoofing attack prior. Whereas there is little to choose between countermeasure systems for lower priors, system rankings derived with the EER and t-DCF show differences for higher priors. We observe some ranking changes. Findings support the adoption of the DCF-based metric into the roadmap for future ASVspoof challenges, and possibly for other biometric anti-spoofing evaluations.
