| Abstract: | Speech scrambling methods are widely used for copyright protection and encrypting digital speech signals in order to guarantee the confidentiality of the original signals. They are very important methods for preventing eavesdropping and unauthorized copying. However, it seems to be impossible to completely recover a scrambled speech signal into the original signal. Moreover, nobody can comprehend the partial speech content from speech signals scrambled with these methods. In this paper, we propose a semi-scramble method for speech signals based on phonemic restoration. By using a speech scrambling method based on the random-bit shift of quantization bits, speech signals are converted to scrambled signals in partial intervals. We evaluated the confidentiality and efficiency of the proposed method by using two objective measures, signal-to-error ratio (SER) and perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ). As a result, we confirmed that the proposed method can play a role in copyright protection for an original signal and recover a semi-scrambled speech signal into the original one. Finally, we indicated that the acoustic characteristics of signal semi-scrambled with the proposed method enable the listener to understand the speech information. |
