Abstract

The identity of a person can be determined based on their voice, through the process of speaker identification. It can be used to improve the security of the United Payments Interface (UPI) framework. The process involves capturing and analyzing the acoustic features of the user’s speech and comparing them to certain voice profiles that are stored in a database to find a match. Once a match is found the transaction can proceed smoothly. A model is built using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and a 1-D CNN and it shows 98.46% accuracy on the data provided to it from the beginning and 98% on the validation data. This model is then compared with other existing models using different methods to obtain important attributes like Mel Spectrogram and MFCC. A process to integrate the model into the UPI ecosystem is successfully developed. This involves designing a protocol and developing an Application Programming Interface (API) for integration with UPI and Security Layering for additional threats. This paper addresses the current security concerns as well as paving the way for further research to improve security in the UPI ecosystem.
