Audio Beacon Based Authentication

该项目旨在对音频信标的潜在用途进行实验性评估，以测试一种将人声与声音信号处理相结合的新认证方法的可行性。提出的解决方案是创建一个测试平台，其中包括几个物联网设备，用于探索在各种用户认证场景中结合主动和被动信息通道的技术可行性。这项工作将在伦敦城市大学网络安全研究中心完成，完全使用公共信息源、开源软件和公共云服务。预期成果是建立一个技术框架，用于在家中使用语音通信设备时进行安全认证。该项目将需要对技术进行研究，制作软件原型，并对所实施解决方案的技术可行性和商业化潜力进行实验评价。由于由语音控制的家庭设备的日益普及，使用语音时的安全认证问题正成为一个重要的问题。预计在金融和商业行业以及家庭娱乐领域的广泛领域，工业客户的潜在利益。该解决方案将进一步推进在家庭中建立智能数字基础设施的可能性，并将有助于网络社会发展的总体战略。

This project aims at experimental evaluation of the potential use of audio beacons for thepurpose of testing the feasibility of a new method of authentication which combines human voice with sound signal processing. The proposed solution is to create a test platform which includes several Internet-of-Thing devices for exploring the technical feasibility of the combination of active and passive information channels in various user authentication scenarios. The work will be done at the Cyber Security Research Centre of London Metropolitan University entirely using public sources of information, open source software and public cloud services. Expected outcome is to create a technological framework for secure authentication when using voice communication devices at home. The project will require research into the technologies, software prototyping and experimental evaluation of the technological feasibility and commercialization potential of the implemented solution. The problem of secure authentication when using voice is becoming an important issue due to the increased popularity of home devices controlled by voice. Potential benefits for industrial customers are anticipated in wide area of financial and commercial industries as well as in the area of home entertainment. The solution will advance further the possibility to build intelligent digital infrastructure at home and will contribute to the overall strategy for developing of the cyber society.
