Voice communication is an important need in daily activities whether delivered with or without technology. Telecommunication technology has accommodated this need by providing a wide range of infrastructure, including large varieties of devices used as intermediary and end devices. One of the cellular technologies that is very widely used by the public is GSM (Global System for Mobile), while in the military, trunked radio is still popular. However, the security systems of GSM and trunked radio have limitations. Therefore, this paper proposes a platform to secure voice data over wireless mobile communication by providing end-to-end encryption. This platform is robust to noise, real-time and remains secure. The proposed encryption utilizes multicircular permutations rotated by expanded keys as dynamic keys to scramble the data. We carry out simulations and testbed implementation to prove that application of the proposed method is feasible.

Voice user interfaces can offer intuitive interaction with our devices, but the usability and audio quality could be further improved if multiple devices could collaborate to provide a distributed voice user interface. To ensure that users' voices are not shared with unauthorized devices, it is however necessary to design an access management system that adapts to the users' needs. Prior work has demonstrated that a combination of audio fingerprinting and fuzzy cryptography yields a robust pairing of devices without sharing the information that they record. However, the robustness of these systems is partially based on the extensive duration of the recordings that are required to obtain the fingerprint. This paper analyzes methods for robust generation of acoustic fingerprints in short periods of time to enable the responsive pairing of devices according to changes in the acoustic scenery and can be integrated into other typical speech processing tools.

A secure voice communications channel is on demand to avoid unwanted eavesdropping of voice messages. This paper reports the development of communicaiton channel prototype equipped with Chaotic cryptographic algorithm with Cipher Feedback mode, implemented on FPGA due to its high processing speed and low delay required for voice channel. Two Spartan-3 FPGA board was used for the purpose, one as transmitter in encryption process and the other as receiver of decryption process. The experimental tests reveal that the voice channel is successfully secured using the encryption-decription cycle for asynchronous communication. In the non-ecrypted channel, the average values of MSE, delay, and THD-N parameters are 0.3513 V2, 202 μs, and 17.52%, respectively, while the secured channel produce MSE of 0.3794 V2, delay 202 μs, and THD-N 20.45%. Therefore, the original information sent in the encrypted channel can be restored with similar quality compared to the non-encrypted channel.
