APPLICATION OF VOICE BIOMETRICS IN PROTECTION SYSTEMS AND CRIME FIGHTING.

Modern communication relies increasingly more on the verbal communication between a machine and a human, aiming to govern certain resources and robots, increase the security of certain means, initiate certain processing protocols, faster financial transactions... This paper illustrates the possibility of using the voice biometrics in modern living, from simple examples, such as starting the motor of a vehicle, through opening security gates, to proving fraud and embezzlement. Special emphasis has been put on the systems of automatic speaker identification and forensic speaker recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
