Backdoor Attacks on Speech Emotion Recognition via TTS-Generated Poisoning

The paper investigates poisoning-based backdoor attacks on Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) systems that use self‑supervised acoustic representations. It introduces a stealthy, low‑energy acoustic trigger that can be embedded imperceptibly into both natural and synthetic speech, enabling scalable poisoning. Experiments show high attack success rates with low poisoning ratios, cross‑model transferability, and a particular vulnerability of self‑supervised representations, highlighting the lowered barrier to effective backdoor attacks via TTS technology.

A Survey of Threats Against Voice Authentication and Anti-Spoofing Systems

The paper reviews how voice authentication has evolved from handcrafted acoustic features to deep learning speaker embeddings, expanding its use in finance, smart devices, and law enforcement. It surveys modern threats—including data poisoning, adversarial, deepfake, and adversarial spoofing attacks—tracing their development alongside technological advances. For each attack type, the authors summarize methods, datasets, performance, and limitations, and organize the literature using accepted taxonomies to highlight emerging risks and open challenges.
