Abstract

The widespread availability of audio editing software has made it easy to create acoustically convincing digital audio forgeries. To address this problem, more and more attention has been paid to the field of digital audio forensics. There has been little work, however, in the field of anti-forensics, which seeks to develop a set of techniques designed to fool current forensic methodologies. The compression history of an audio sample can be used to provide evidence of audio forgeries. In this work, we present a simple method for distinguishing the MP3 compression history of an audio sample. We show the proposed anti-forensics method to remove the artifacts of MP3 double compression by destroying the audio frame structure. In addition, effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by three double compression detection methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively resist detection from three methods.
