Audio Beacon Based Authentication

本项目旨在对音频信标的潜在用途进行实验评估，以测试一种将人类声音与声音信号处理相结合的新认证方法的可行性。我们提出的解决方案是创建一个包含多个物联网设备的测试平台，探索在各种用户认证场景下主被动信息通道结合的技术可行性。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。预期的结果是，在家中使用语音通信设备时，创建一个安全认证的技术框架。该项目将需要对技术、软件原型和技术可行性的实验评估以及实施解决方案的商业化潜力进行研究。随着语音控制家庭设备的日益普及，使用语音时的安全认证问题日益成为一个重要问题。预计在金融和商业行业的广泛领域以及家庭娱乐领域，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，并将为网络社会发展的总体战略做出贡献。

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.
