Special attention was placed on delivering a fully operational application, which admits a sufficient reliability level and an efficient functioning. To this end, we have excluded the need for any network communication. Hence, we opted for the completion of both the training and the identification processes directly on the mobile device through the extraction of linear prediction cepstral coefficients and the naive Bayes algorithm as the classifier. Furthermore, the authentication decision is enhanced to overcome misidentification through access privileges that the user should attribute to each application beforehand. To evaluate the proposed authentication system, eleven participants were involved in the experiment, conducted in quiet and noisy environments. Public speech corpora were also employed to compare this implementation to existing methods. Results were efficient regarding mobile resources\u2019 consumption. The overall classification performance obtained was accurate with a small number of samples. Then, it appeared that our authentication system might be used as a first security layer, but also as part of a multilayer authentication, or as a fall-back mechanism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cryptography1030016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,21]],"date-time":"2018-02-21T04:47:11Z","timestamp":1519188431000},"page":"16","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["A Text-Independent Speaker Authentication System for Mobile Devices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"1","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0334-6168","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florentin","family":"Thullier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Mathematics, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Chicoutimi, Chicoutimi, QC G7H 2B1 Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Bouchard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Mathematics, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Chicoutimi, Chicoutimi, QC G7H 2B1 Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9027-4352","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bob-Antoine","family":"Menelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Mathematics, Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Chicoutimi, Chicoutimi, QC G7H 2B1 Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Laurence, G., and Janessa, R.
