In this paper, a VoIP-based voice secure telecommunication technology using the text-independent speaker authentication in the telematics environments is proposed. For the secure telecommunication, the sender's voice packets are encrypted by the public-key generated from the speaker's voice information and submitted to the receiver. It is constructed to resist against the man-in-the middle attack. At the receiver side, voice features extracted from the received voice packets are compared with the reference voice-key received from the sender side for the speaker authentication. To improve the accuracy of text-independent speaker authentication, Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM)-supervectors are applied to Support Vector Machine (SVM) kernel using Bayesian information criterion (BIC) and Mahalanobis distance (MD).

In this paper, we study and develope a special secure Dongle to be adapted in GSM SmartPhone for secure voice communication to the serial 20-pin connector in SmartPhone. We design and implement the Dongle module hardware, firmware, and software including cipher crypto-synchronization and cipher algorithm. Also we study and emulate the SmartPhone GUI software interface including communication software module to the Dongle. Finally, we analyze the performances of crypto-synchronization in some noisy environment and also we test the secure Dongle module.

A cryptographic dongle, which is capable of transmitting encrypted voice signals over the CDMA/GSM voice channel, was designed and implemented. The dongle used PIC microcontroller for signals processing including analog to digital conversion and digital to analog conversion, encryption and communicating with the smart phone. A smart phone was used to provide power to the dongle as well as passing the encrypted speech to the smart phone which then transmits the signal to the network. A number of tests were conducted to check the efficiency of the dongle, the firmware programming, the encryption algorithms, and the secret key management system, the interface between the smart phone and the dongle and the noise level.

This paper presents master key identifier based protocol steganography (MKIPS), a new approach toward creating a covert channel within the Secure Real-time Transfer Protocol, also known as SRTP. This can be achieved using the ability of the sender of Voice-over-Internet Protocol packets to select a master key from a pre-shared list of available cryptographic keys. This list is handed to the SRTP sender and receiver by an external key management protocol during session initiation. In this work, by intelligent utilization of the master key identifier field in the SRTP packet creation process, a covert channel is created. The proposed covert channel can reach a relatively high transfer rate, and its capacity may vary based on the underlying SRTP channel properties. In comparison to existing data embedding methods in SRTP, MKIPS can convey a secret message without adding to the traffic overhead of the channel and packet loss in the destination. Additionally, the proposed covert channel is as robust as its underlying user datagram protocol channel.

Development of ICT technologies leads exponential growth of various sharing economy over the last couple of years. The intuitive advantage of the sharing economy is efficient utilization of idle goods and services, but there are safety and security concerns. In this paper, we propose a onetime password based access control system to support secure accommodation sharing service and show the implementation results. To provide a secure service to both the provider and the user, the proposed system issues a onetime access password that is valid only during the sharing period reserved by the user, thereafter access returns to the accommodation owner. Especially, our system provides secure user access by merging the two elements of speaker recognition using voice and a one-time password to open and close the door lock. In this paper, we propose a secure system for accommodation sharing services as a use-case, but the proposed system can be applicable to various sharing services utilizing security-sensitive facilities.

The protection of data which we want to keep secret from invalid users has become a main topic nowadays. This paper introduces a encryption scheme for protecting speech signals from eavesdropping. The proposed encryption scheme adopts a secure voice cryptographic algorithm based on the scrambling in frequency band. In order to improve the conventional speech signal encryption scheme, we have randomly permuted DCT coefficients of speech signal. Simulation results are included to show the performance of the proposed algorithm for secure transmission of speech signals.

Recently, firms have been putting forth significant efforts to fulfill various demands and high expectations of customers. The role and importance of customer centers as a direct contact point for customer relationship management are more emphasized than previously. A customer center draws attention as a new alternative to secure corporate competitiveness as it contributes to sales increase, being in a position to satisfy customers' needs by ensuring customers' access to information. A customer center is an aggregation of various information and communication technologies. In particular, a voice recognition/analysis technology based on big data can elaborate customer services further, enhance customer satisfaction, and trigger constant interactions with customers. A customer center can be transformed to a hub of customer knowledge and the embodiment of business intelligence in the front line of business. This article is a case study on how the customer center of the K life insurance company regarding customer center operation collects and analyzes customer information and how it has established its voice recognition/analysis system based on big data to improve customer experience management. Factors affecting the successful introduction and implementation of voice recognition/analysis system to a firm, are examined.

It is necessary for us to enhance the security service on smart phone by using voice data on authentication procedure. In this study, a voice data based one-time password generation mechanism is designed and implemented for enhancing user authentication on smart phone. After receiving a PIN value from the server, a user inputs his/her own voice biometric data using mike device on smart phone. And then this captured a voice biometric data will be used to generate one-time token on server side after verification procedures. Based on those mutual authentication steps, a voice data based one-time password(V-OTP) will be generated by client module after receiving the one-time token from the server finally. Using proposed voice one-time password mechanism, it is possible for us to provide more secure user authentication service on smart phone.

In this paper, we propose a transmission scheme of MAC protocol that enables secure voice communications by exploiting the wide spectrum and low signal strength characteristics of the ultra wide band technology. In addition, it also supports high level of terminal mobility by deploying mobile ad hoc network schemes. While most of existing UWB MAC protocols are operated as a synchronous mode, the proposed scheme operates in an asynchronous mode for supporting high mobility and sends voice packets without RTS/CTS control packets for efficient voice traffic transmission without retransmission. With simulation program, we prove that the proposed scheme satisfies the required voice quality and packet delivery time.

An efficient encryption mechanism for transmitting voice packets on the Internet was proposed in this study. The VPN approach of encrypting all the packets through a gateway increases delay and delay jitter that may degrade the quality of service (QoS) in real-time communications. A user-controlled secure Internet phone, therefore. was designed and implemented. The secure phone enables the user to apply encryption to his own call when necessary, and reduces security overheads on the gateway.
