Testing and Demonstrating Speaker Verification Technology in Iraqi-Arabic as Part of the Iraqi Enrollment Via Voice Authentication Project (IEVAP) in Support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT)

Abstract

This thesis documents the findings of an Iraqi-Arabic language test and concept of operations for speaker verification technology as part of the Iraqi Banking System in support of the Iraqi Enrollment via Voice Authentication Project (IEVAP). IEVAP is an Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) sponsored research project commissioned to study the feasibility of speaker verification technology in support security requirements of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The intent of this project is to contribute toward the future employment of speech technologies in a variety of coalition military operations by testing speaker verification and automated speech recognition technology in order to improve conditions in the war torn country of Iraq. In this phase of the IEVAP, NPS tested Nuance Inc's Iraqi-Arabic voice authentication application and developed a supporting concept of operations for this technology in support of a new era in Iraqi Banking.
