Adversarial attacks have been expanded to speaker recognition (SR). However, existing attacks are often assessed using different SR models, recognition tasks and datasets, and only few adversarial defenses borrowed from computer vision are considered. Yet,these defenses have not been thoroughly evaluated against adaptive attacks. Thus, there is still a lack of quantitative understanding about the strengths and limitations of adversarial attacks and defenses. More effective defenses are also required for securing SR systems. To bridge this gap, we present SEC4SR, the first platform enabling researchers to systematically and comprehensively evaluate adversarial attacks and defenses in SR. SEC4SR incorporates 4 white-box and 2 black-box attacks, 24 defenses including our novel feature-level transformations. It also contains techniques for mounting adaptive attacks. Using SEC4SR, we conduct thus far the largest-scale empirical study on adversarial attacks and defenses in SR, involving 23 defenses, 15 attacks and 4 attack settings. Our study provides lots of useful findings that may advance future research: such as (1) all the transformations slightly degrade accuracy on benign examples and their effectiveness vary with attacks; (2) most transformations become less effective under adaptive attacks, but some transformations become more effective; (3) few transformations combined with adversarial training yield stronger defenses over some but not all attacks, while our feature-level transformation combined with adversarial training yields the strongest defense over all the attacks. Extensive experiments demonstrate capabilities and advantages of SEC4SR which can benefit future research in SR.
