Digital multimedia audio forensics: past, present and future
, Mohammed Zakariah, Muhammad Khurram Khan, Hafiz Malik, . 2017
Digital audio forensics is used for a variety of applications ranging from authenticating
audio files to link an audio recording to the acquisition device (e.g., microphone), and
also linking to the acoustic environment in which the audio recording was made, and
identifying traces of coding or transcoding. This survey paper provides an overview of the
current state-of-the-art (SOA) in digital audio forensics and highlights some open research
problems and future challenges in this active area of research. The paper categorizes the audio
file analysis into container and content-based analysis in order to detect the authenticity of the
file. Existing SOA, in audio forensics, is discussed based on both container and content-based
analysis. The importance of this research topic has encouraged many researchers to contribute
in this area; yet, further scopes are available to help researchers and readers expand the body of
knowledge. The ultimate goal of this paper is to introduce all information on audio forensics
and encourage researchers to solve the unanswered questions. Our survey paper would
contribute to this critical research area, which has addressed many serious cases in the past,
and help solve many more cases in the future by using advanced techniques with more
accurate results.
