Voice Authentication as a means of biometric authentication has been around for quite a while. Along with the technological progress and the improved accuracy, voice authentication has again attracted the market’s attention.
Voice authentication is to use the voice biometrics as a method of determining the identity of a speaker for access control. Voice biometrics is a set of unique, distinguishable physiological characteristics and behavioural features of a person’s voice, that can be used to identify that person. Voiceprint is a mathematical representation of the voice biometrics stored in electronic format. It is not a recording or file that can be played back or reverse engineered into original speech. During the voice authentication process, voice authentication software checks the user’ voice against their storied “voiceprint”, returning a verification result of the service software. If the result is positive, the user will be authenticated and get through to the service he requested.
KnuVerse voice authentication (https://www.knuverse.com/) is the re-branding of Knurld. KnuVerse voice authentication provides a few voice authentication solutions depending on the users’ requirements. In
this paper, we will look at one of the leading providers in voice authentication-Knuverse, and test its voice authentication solution “AudioPIN”. Based on the experiment’s result, we will advise on the status and maturity of the AudioPIN product, and how we can use voice authentication technology in the university to improve our security.
