Fighting AI-generated Audio with Attested Microphones and zk-SNARKs: The Attested Audio Experiment (n.d.). [web article]. Kang, Daniel; Gurkan, Kobi; Rose, Anna.
TAGS: #AIAudioDetection #AttestedMicrophones #zkSNARKs #AudioAuthentication #DigitalSecurity #CryptographicTechnologies #AudioVerification #PrivacyProtection #TechnologyInnovation #DigitalForensics
SHORT ABSTRACT: "This article addresses the emerging challenges posed by AI-generated audio and proposes a novel solution involving attested microphones and zk-SNARKs. The authors discuss the development and implementation of these technologies to establish a chain of trust from audio capture to playback, aiming to authenticate audio recordings in an era where AI can convincingly replicate human voices."
KEY QUOTES:
- "AI-generated audio is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from human-produced sound."
- "We need a reliable chain of trust stretching from the initial capture of audio to its final playback."
- "Attested microphones have a hardware unit that cryptographically signs the audio signal as soon as it is captured."
- "ZK-SNARKs provide computational integrity. For audio, ZK-SNARKs allow the producer of the audio to privately edit the audio without revealing the original."
- "We’ve constructed an end-to-end demonstration of the chain of trust for audio."
- "Attested microphones don’t allow you to perform edits on the audio, including edits like noise reduction or cutting out sensitive information."
- "In our setting, we can compute a function that computes the hashes of the inputs and outputs the edited audio from the inputs."
- "As we’ve seen, attested microphones and ZK-SNARKs can provide a chain of trust for audio while preserving privacy."
- "With the rise of AI-generated audio, we’re seeing an increasing need to establish this chain of trust."
- "The code for this demonstration has not been audited and should not be used in production."

A Taxonomy of operational security considerations for manufacturer installed keys and Trust Anchors (2023). [Internet-Draft]. Richardson, Michael. Retrieved 2024-01-20 from Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-irtf-t2trg-taxonomy-manufacturer-anchors/.
TAGS: #OperationalSecurity #TrustAnchors #DeviceSecurity #ManufacturerKeys #PrivateKeys #PublicKeys #DigitalSecurity #TrustAnchorManagement #Cybersecurity #DeviceManufacturing SHORT ABSTRACT: "This IETF document, authored by Michael Richardson, provides a comprehensive taxonomy of methods used by manufacturers to secure private keys and public trust anchors in devices. It delves into the installation and protection mechanisms of these keys during manufacturing, aiming to establish a uniform naming convention for these methods to facilitate clear communication."
KEY QUOTES:
- "An increasing number of protocols derive a significant part of their security by using trust anchors that are installed by manufacturers."
- "Many protocols also leverage manufacturer installed identities."
- "The trust anchors are often stored in the form of self-signed certificates."
- "Different anchors have different authorizations associated with them."
- "To properly assess the security of a Supply Chain it is necessary to understand the kinds and severity of the threats which a device has been designed to resist."
- "This document details the different trust anchors and identities found in typical devices."
- "In order to manage risks and assess vulnerabilities in a Supply Chain, it is necessary to determine a degree of trustworthiness in each device."

SHORT ABSTRACT: "Sony's launch of 'Digital Birth Certificates' at CES 2024 represents a significant step in combating the proliferation of fake AI-generated images. These certificates, akin to Non-Fungible Tokens in their security and reliability features, are designed to verify the authenticity of digital content, thereby enhancing trust in digital media. This initiative underscores Sony’s commitment to preserving the integrity of original creations, specifically in response to the challenges posed by generative AI in the journalistic domain."
KEY QUOTES:
- "These Digital Birth Certificates mark a transformative approach in the digital realm, drawing parallels with NFTs in their robustness and reliability." "Neal Manowitz, President and COO of Sony Electronics, emphasized the importance of preserving genuineness in creators' work, aligning with entities like the Associated Press to combat misinformation."
- "Sony’s visionary step addresses the generative AI challenges, ensuring that AI advancements do not compromise the authenticity of digital media."
- "This technology is aimed at supporting journalists in their quest for truth, playing a pivotal role in authenticating content."
