The Impact of Audio Watermarking on Audio Anti-Spoofing Countermeasures

This paper presents the first study on the impact of audio watermarking on spoofing countermeasures. While anti-spoofing systems are essential for securing speech-based applications, the influence of widely used audio watermarking, originally designed for copyright protection, remains largely...

WaveVerify: a Novel Audio Watermarking Framework for Media Authentication and Combatting Deepfakes

The rapid advancement of voice generation technologies has enabled the synthesis of speech that is perceptually indistinguishable from genuine human voices. While these innovations facilitate beneficial applications such as personalized text-to-speech systems and voice preservation, they have als...

A Comprehensive Real-World Assessment of Audio Watermarking Algorithms: Will They Survive Neural Codecs?

We introduce the Robust Audio Watermarking Benchmark RAW-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating deep learning-based audio watermarking methods with standardized and systematic comparisons. To simulate real-world usage, we introduce a comprehensive audio attack pipeline with various distortions such as...
