The deep voice detection technology currently being researched causes personal information leakage because the input voice data are stored in the detection server. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we propose a novel system (i.e., DeepDetection) that can detect deep voices and authenticate users without exposing voice data to the server. Voice phishing prevention is achieved in two-way approaches by performing primary verification through deep voice detection and secondary verification of whether the sender is the correct sender through user authentication. Since voice preprocessing is performed on the user local device, voice data are not stored on the detection server. Thus, we can overcome the security vulnerabilities of the existing detection research. We used ASVspoof 2019 and achieved an F1-score of 100% in deep voice detection and an F1 score of 99.05% in user authentication. Additionally, the average EER for user authentication achieved was 0.15. Therefore, this work can be effectively used to prevent deep voice-based phishing.
