Does my Voice really Identify me?

My Voice Identifies Me Graphic

Static phrases for voice authentication—you’ve probably heard of them. Convenient? Sure. Secure? Not so much. These outdated methods leave systems exposed to identity theft, recorded voice attacks, and sophisticated threats like voice cloning and synthetic fraud. Auraya, a leader in voice intelligence, steps in to redefine the game with its advanced, seamless, and secure dynamic voice authentication solutions, tackling challenges like deepfakes and fraud with unmatched precision.

The Challenges with Traditional Voice Biometrics

Traditional voice authentication systems often rely on static phrases or repetitive prompts to verify identity. While these methods simplify the process, they introduce critical vulnerabilities:

Identity Theft via Recorded Voices

If a malicious actor records a user’s static phrase, they can easily bypass authentication systems.

Voice Cloning and Deepfake Risks

AI-powered voice mimicry and synthetic voice generation are becoming sophisticated, making static-phrase-based systems susceptible to attack.

Customer Frustration

Reciting the same phrase repeatedly can lead to poor user experiences, especially in sectors like banking, healthcare, or contact centers, where ease of access is crucial. These challenges call for dynamic, real-time, and context-aware solutions, such as those offered by Auraya’s advanced voice biometrics.

How Auraya Transforms Voice Biometrics?

Auraya’s innovative voice verification solutions are designed to meet the demands of modern businesses, from banking and healthcare to contact centers and voice forensics.

Dynamic, Real-Time Authentication

Unlike traditional systems, Auraya eliminates the need for predefined phrases. Authentication happens naturally in real-time during conversations, whether users are navigating an IVR system, interacting with chatbots, or speaking with contact center agents, enhancing user experience and thwarting identity theft attempts.

Multi-Layered Security

Auraya adds an extra layer of protection by integrating device verification with voice authentication:

- Random OTP Verification: A one-time passcode (OTP) is sent to the user’s device. Speaking the digits aloud allows the system to verify the device and analyze the user’s voice.

- Real-Time Liveness Detection: Randomized prompts ensure the system confirms the user is live, preventing playback attacks or synthetic voice fraud.

Continuous Voice Monitoring

Auraya’s system verifies users passively and continuously. For example, during a contact center interaction, the caller’s voice is monitored in real-time. This means users don’t need to pause the conversation to answer verification questions, and can simply continue to speak.

Securing Against Voice Mimicry, Cloning, and Deepfake Threats 

With the rise of deepfake technology and voice cloning, the threat landscape for voice biometrics is evolving rapidly. Auraya addresses these threats with cutting-edge synthetic voice detection and deepfake countermeasures. Its AI-driven algorithms analyze unique voice patterns, making it nearly impossible for fake or mimicked voices to bypass security. Auraya’s anti-spoofing capabilities protect against recording attacks and synthetic voice attacks, whilst channel compensation algorithms combined with patented speaker-specific background models and empirically derived security thresholding provide unsurpassed security performance.
