Abstract:Morphing techniques generate artificial biometric samples that combine features from multiple individuals, allowing each contributor to be verified against a single enrolled template. While extensively studied in face recognition, this vulnerability remains largely unexplored in voice biometrics. Prior work on voice morphing is computationally expensive, non-scalable, and limited to acoustically similar identity pairs, constraining practical deployment. Moreover, existing sound-morphing methods target audio textures, music, or environmental sounds and are not transferable to voice identity manipulation. We propose VoxMorph, a zero-shot framework that produces high-fidelity voice morphs from as little as five seconds of audio per subject without model retraining. Our method disentangles vocal traits into prosody and timbre embeddings, enabling fine-grained interpolation of speaking style and identity. These embeddings are fused via Spherical Linear Interpolation (Slerp) and synthesized using an autoregressive language model coupled with a Conditional Flow Matching network. VoxMorph achieves state-of-the-art performance, delivering a 2.6x gain in audio quality, a 73% reduction in intelligibility errors, and a 67.8% morphing attack success rate on automated speaker verification systems under strict security thresholds. This work establishes a practical and scalable paradigm for voice morphing with significant implications for biometric security. The code and dataset are available on our project page: https://vcbsl.github.io/VoxMorph/




Abstract:Ocular biometrics in the visible spectrum have emerged as a prominent modality due to their high accuracy, resistance to spoofing, and non-invasive nature. However, morphing attacks, synthetic biometric traits created by blending features from multiple individuals, threaten biometric system integrity. While extensively studied for near-infrared iris and face biometrics, morphing in visible-spectrum ocular data remains underexplored. Simulating such attacks demands advanced generation models that handle uncontrolled conditions while preserving detailed ocular features like iris boundaries and periocular textures. To address this gap, we introduce DOOMGAN, that encompasses landmark-driven encoding of visible ocular anatomy, attention-guided generation for realistic morph synthesis, and dynamic weighting of multi-faceted losses for optimized convergence. DOOMGAN achieves over 20% higher attack success rates than baseline methods under stringent thresholds, along with 20% better elliptical iris structure generation and 30% improved gaze consistency. We also release the first comprehensive ocular morphing dataset to support further research in this domain.
