Abstract

Audio Secret Sharing (ASS) can be used to provide security to audio channels by dividing the audio into smaller units called shares. With the advancement of technology and the availability of ubiquitous devices, a lot of audio platforms came into the picture that provides speeches, music, and other audio files which are usually guarded by a paywall. In cases where the low quality of the audio is provided for free and high-quality audio is guarded by a paywall, in that scenario the vendor stores two separate copies of the audio, one low and one high which certainly acquire twice space. The proposed scheme offers to store low-quality audio which can generate high quality with help of a share, this comes out to be space-efficient and we also don’t need to maintain two separate copies of the same audio. In the proposed scheme, an audio quality control method has been defined that can be used in modern audio platforms.
