Abstract

Confidentiality and integrity are fundamental requirements when transmitting and storing data. In order to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of speech signal, we present a novel wateRmarking scheme for Encrypted sPeech AuthenticatIon with Recovery (REPAIR) scheme. In REPAIR, an encryption algorithm is first designed based on a hyper-chaotic method to improve the confidentiality of the original speech by encryption. Subsequently, a watermark generation and embedding algorithm is proposed to generate and embed the check bits and compression bits. Afterwards, a content authentication and tampering recovery algorithm is introduced to locate and recover the tampered speech frames. Meanwhile, a speech decryption algorithm is also presented to decrypt the encrypted speech. Analysis and experimental results demonstrate that REPAIR can detect and locate synchronization attacks and de-synchronization attacks without using the auxiliary synchronous code. Additionally, REPAIR can also recover the tampered content with high quality.
