Testing template and testing concept of operations for speaker authentication technology

摘要

This thesis documents the findings of developing a generic testing template and supporting concept of operations for speaker verification technology as part of the Iraqi Enrollment via Voice Authentication Project (IEVAP). The IEVAP is an Office of the Secretary of Defense sponsored research project commissioned to study the feasibility of speaker verification technology in support of the Global War on Terrorism security requirements. The intent of this project is to contribute toward the future employment of speech technologies in a variety of coalition military operations by developing a pilot proof-of-concept system that integrates speaker verification and automated speech recognition technology into a mobile platform to enhance warfighting capabilities. In this phase of the IEVAP, NPS developed a generic testing template and supporting concept of operations for speaker authentication technology. The intent of this project was to contribute toward the future employment of speech technologies in a variety of coalition military operations by developing a testing template along with a concept of operations to conduct such testing.
