A Study of Using Cepstrogram for Countermeasure Against Replay Attacks

This study investigated the cepstrogram properties and demonstrated their effectiveness as powerful countermeasures against replay attacks. A cepstrum analysis of replay attacks suggests that crucial information for anti-spoofing against replay attacks may be retained in the cepstrogram. When building countermeasures against replay attacks, experiments on the ASVspoof 2019 physical access database demonstrate that the cepstrogram is more effective than other features in both single and fusion systems. Our LCNN-based single and fusion systems with the cepstrogram feature outperformed the corresponding LCNN-based systems without the cepstrogram feature and several state-of-the-art single and fusion systems in the literature.
