Wakeword detection plays a critical role in enabling AI assistants to listen to user voices and interact effectively. However, for languages other than English, there is a significant lack of pre-trained wakeword models. Additionally, systems that merely determine the presence of a wakeword can pose serious privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end approach that trains wakewords for Non-English languages, particulary Korean, and uses this to develop a Voice Authentication model to protect user privacy. Our implementation employs an open-source platform OpenWakeWord, which performs wakeword detection using an FCN (Fully-Connected Network) architecture. Once a wakeword is detected, our custom-developed code calculates cosine similarity for robust user authentication. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, achieving a 16.79% and a 6.6% Equal Error Rate (EER) each in the Wakeword Detection and the Voice Authentication. These findings highlight the model's potential in providing secure and accurate wakeword detection and authentication for Korean users.
